The journey from Lombok to Bima takes you from the tourism hubs of the west to the dry, rugged coast of eastern Sumbawa. The Alas Strait separates the two islands,[1] and on the far side the landscape feels like a different era of Indonesian travel. Bima is the gateway for surfers heading to Hu'u Beach and for hikers preparing to climb Mount Tambora.
Flying is the practical way to cross. As the plane climbs out of Lombok you see the Gili Islands and the slopes of Mount Rinjani, and on the way down you look over Bima Bay and the hills around it. You can book your seat on GoAsia.cc.
