    The True Beauty of West Nusa Tenggara

    West Nusa Tenggara

    West Nusa Tenggara or Nusa Tenggara Barat [NTB] is another Island that stay on Nusa Tenggara Island. West Nusa Tenggara is a province that located on the west side of Nusa Tenggara which has two biggest islands of Lombok and Sumbawa. The capital of this province is Mataram which located on Lombok Island.

    Lombok is noticeably different than its close neighbor, Bali. The northern part of the island is mountainous and lush with tall trees and shrubs. The South, on the other hand is arid and covered by savanna. Large Asian mammals are absent and replaced instead by marsupials, lizards, cockatoos and parrots. The difference becomes more pronounced as one move further east, where dry seasons are more prolonged and corn and sago are the staple food, instead of rice.
    The People indigenous of this province that stay in Lombok is coming from Sasak people, while Bima and Sumbawa ethnic is the largest ethnic who stay in Sumbawa Island.

    The early history remain that West Nusa Tenggara was built by some era, which is the era of Selaparang Kingdom, Majapahit Kingdom and the time when Islam get involved among the society.

    As tourism attractive, Lombok and some local island is the most island who usually visited by the tourist. Lombok is sometimes being identical sister with Bali, considering of the same atmosphere, the same exotic nature, the same wave and some other similarity. Unfortunately, Lombok is less famous than Bali instead of the diving destination which is located on Gili Trawangan.

    Soft, white sand, virgin beaches are typical in Lombok tourisms, where the motto is: "You can see Bali from Lombok, but not Lombok from Bali". Lombok is also famous for its ikat hand-woven textiles; the island has exceptional charm and it’s relatively undiscovered.
