Indonesia: Bali to Lombok

The itinerary drifts east to Ubud, where free time contrasts the visit to the Jatiluwih rice terraces, their fields sliced in emerald layers. Moving on to Lombok, you join a women-led trek through the foothills of Mt Rinjani, whose presence looms like a silent guardian over forest and village alike. A highlight is the cooking session with local household chefs, served up in a guesthouse away from the usual tourist trail.

After the trekking and village tours, the final days unfold on the Gili Islands, where you might find yourself resting on sun-soaked beaches or cycling around without the usual sight of cars. Throughout, your CEO and local guides provide practical insights rather than scripted histories, helping you move beyond the surface with genuine encounters.

These are the places the trip visits, in order. G Adventures publishes the day-by-day itinerary on its own site.
