West Nusa Tenggara (known as Nusa Tenggara Barat or NTB) is part of the island chain originally called the lesser Sunda Island, and refers to the island directly to the east of Bali. Located slightly south of the equator, NTB is comprised of two main islands: Lombok and Sumbawa, as well as hundreds of smaller islands and coral atolls in the surrounding waters. The NTB region offers a fascinating variety of landscapes, places of interest and various activities for the tourist. Tropical islands and coastlines lined with pristine beaches, fabulous waters for swimming, sunbathing, sailing, surfing, fishing and underwater activities await traveller to the area.
Lombok has a chain of volcanic mountains in the north, providing majestic scenery and lush agriculture lands on its slopes. The highest peak, Mt.Rinjani, towers 3726 m above the surrounding countryside and is internationally recognised as a world class destination for trekking and mountain climbing. Around the the slopes of Rinjani are forest and agriculture areas, sprinkled with waterfalls and surrounded by stuning scenery. In other parts of the island, terraced rice paddies, natural jungle and age-old forests thrive in the rich volcanic soil.
