There are more to see in Lombok than just Senggigi, but it is a great place to start when exploring the island. Lombok marks an area of transition between the flora and fauna of eastern and western Indonesia, first recorded by the British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace in the last century. By more recent visitors Lombok has often been described as an island waiting to be discovered. Unfairly or not, Lombok is nearly always compared to its older and more successful sister, Bali, jus a few hours boat ride away over the Wallace Line.
Although Balinese Hinduism has been embraced in West Lombok the two islands are as different as chalk and cheese. The Sasak of Lombok are predominantly Moslem and temples give way to mosques, particularly in the south and east. The northern part of Lombok is mountainous and lush with tall trees and shrubs whereas the south is arid, savannah covered and cloud easily be a different continent. Large Asian mammals are absent and are replaced instead by marsupials, lizard, cockatoos and parrots.
