Gili Islands, Island group near Lombok, Indonesia

Three small islands - Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air - form an archipelago with white sand beaches and clear waters near Lombok.

The Japanese military utilized these islands during World War II, establishing observation posts and maintaining prisoner camps on the territories.

The name Gili originates from Sasak language, meaning small island, while the local designation Gili Indah translates to small beautiful islands.

Movement across the islands relies on non-motorized transportation methods, including walking, cycling, and traditional horse-drawn carriages called cidomo.

The marine environment surrounding the islands contains numerous diving locations, including Shark Point and Manta Point, with regular sightings of sea turtles.
