14 Days in Lombok
🏔 Complete Itinerary & Cost Guide
14 days in Lombok lets you go beyond the highlights — take day trips, revisit favourites, and enjoy slow mornings. Here's a realistic day-by-day plan plus what it costs.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
This plan covers the essentials without burnout. Adjust based on opening hours, weather, and your stamina. Most days are 4–6 hours of activity with long meals and downtime built in.
Settle into your hotel, grab a light lunch, then ease into Lombok with Gili Trawangan / Gili Air island hop. Don't overbook day one — jet lag is real.
Mount Rinjani trek (multi-day). Pair it with a sit-down lunch nearby and an evening walk through a different neighbourhood.
Kuta Lombok surf beaches. Take the morning slow and use the afternoon to explore a quieter district away from the tourist core.
Tanjung Aan beach + Bukit Merese hill. Pair with a long lunch — Ayam Taliwang (spicy grilled chicken) is the local specialty. Best at Ayam Taliwang Bersaudara.
Sasak traditional village tour. This day usually involves a longer journey so start early.

Ayam Taliwang (spicy grilled chicken) is the local specialty. Best at Ayam Taliwang Bersaudara.
Tour operators on Gili T sometimes overcharge for boat transfers. Book through your hotel instead.
