Lombok Island, Tropical island in Nusa Tenggara Barat, Indonesia.

Mount Rinjani rises 3,726 meters above sea level, creating a dominant presence on Lombok Island with its crater lake Segara Anak at the summit.

The Dutch East India Company established control over Lombok through treaties with local princes in the late 17th century, leading to full annexation by 1895.

The Sasak people maintain their Islamic traditions through festivals, ceremonies, and daily practices that differ from the Hindu customs of neighboring Bali.

Lombok International Airport connects the island to major Indonesian cities and international destinations, while ferries provide transportation to surrounding islands.

The Nyale Festival celebrates the annual appearance of sea worms, which local fishermen collect as the Sasak people consider them a sign of abundance.
