Best things to do in West Nusa Tenggara

West Nusa Tenggara's Absolute Must-Sees

West Nusa Tenggara encompasses the islands of Lombok and Sumbawa, anchored by the 3,726-meter Mount Rinjani. The region is defined by its volcanic topography, including the fertile Sembalun Valley and the multi-tiered Tiu Kelep waterfalls. Coastal features range from the unique white-pepper sands of Tanjung Aan to the 'saltwater waterfall' at Pantai Nambung. While Lombok offers the surf breaks of Selong Belanak, Sumbawa provides rugged landscapes and secluded falls like Semporon Tangkel.
