Aerial Views of West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia

Lombok is a medium sized island lying to the east of Bali in Indonesia.  The tiny Gili Islands, which lie just across the Lombok Strait, have become a magnet for travelers seeking a more secluded vacation spot.  Both Lombok and the Gili's are part of the province of West Nusa Tenggara. Contributor Dronecult brought a drone on a trip to Lombok and these islets.  His drone flights allowed him to create this amazing aerial view of a true tropical paradise with shimmering blue waters and white sand beaches.  

For an epic aerial view of the Gili Islands area off of Lombok, indonesia, it's hard to beat this drone video by Members of No One.  The video was shot over Gili Trawangan, the outer (westernmost) of the group, which also includes Gili Meno (the center island) and Gili Air (the easternmost island).  These islands were more or less uninhabited until "discovered" by adventurous backpackers in the 1970's.  Over the past few decades, they have developed into major beach destinations.  

Sandrine Hecq is a vlogger who uses drones to show her travel destinations from an aerial perspective.  To make this video, she traveled to Gili Air, one of the three islands off the northwestern coast of Indonesia's Lombok island.  Using a combination of a DJI Phantom 4 and ground cameras, the video shows the tropical beauty of this island, the easternmost of the three "Gili's" which lies just a short distance from the mainland of Lombok.  

While the Indonesian island of Lombok is perhaps best known to tourists for the three tiny Gili islands which lie off its northwestern coast, the main island itself hosts plenty of natural beauty itself.  In this video, contributor and drone pilot Agus_Kusuma created an aerial tour of the main island, one of the Lesser Sunda islands which also includes Bali.  The highlight of the video is a beautiful group "selfie" shot off of a tiny sandbar-island, which begins at around the 1:05 mark.  

Selong Balanak is one of the most popular beaches on the Indonesian island of Lombok.  It is situated on the southern coast of the island, a short distance from Praya.  It is still a relatively pristine and uninhabited part of the island, which has a population of over 3 million and is perhaps best known to tourists for the Gili Islands which are on its northern side.  Contributor ery.satriadi@gmail.com created this beautiful drone video of Selong Belanak just after sunset.

Contributor and drone pilot Clouds Trip used a drone to create this amazing aerial video of Mt. Rinjani on Indonesia's Lombok island.  Rising to an altitude of 3.7k meters (about 12.2k ft.) this active volcano is the second highest mountain in the country, after Mt. Kerinci on Sumatra.  Mt. Rinjani is situated in the north central part of Lombok.  The mountain and hot springs around it are considered sacred by the Hindu population.

Check out this amazing drone video from Indonesia's Gili Islands, compliments of contributor viktor.tserovski.  The three tiny islands sit off the northwestern coast of the island of Lombok, one of the main islands of the West Nusa Tenggara province.  The islands are particularly popular with divers, who seek their pristine coral reefs.  The Gili's are increasingly seen as an alternative to Bali, the next major island to their west.  The video was shot with a DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone.  

Joe Criso created this beautiful drone video of Lombok, an island in the chain of Indonesian islands known as the Lesser Sunda Islands, which began at Bali and extend for manu hundreds of km/miles eastwards.  Lombok sits across the Lombok Strait from Bali, in the province called West Nusa Tenggara.  While Lombok bears some physical similarity to Bali and also shares some cultural characteristics, it is far less well known to most international travelers.  

Contributor Aronzblack created this beautiful drone video memory of a trip across Sumbawa Barat, a region of southern Indonesia.  The region covers the western tip of the island of Sumbawa, which is one of the islands which makes up the West Nusa Tenggara province.  While Sumbawa and Lombok (which lies to its west and is also part of the West Nusa province), culturally they are quite distinct, with the latter being much more influenced by Indian culture.  

MIAPVIDEOS created this stunning drone video of a volcano on Indonesia's Lombok island.  Mount Rinjani is situated in the north central part of the island, which is part of the West Nusa Tenggara province.  With an altitude of 3.7k meters (12.2k ft.), it's one of the highest mountains in the country.  One of the distinguishing features of the area is the crater lake Segara Anak, which was formed by the eruption in the 13th century of the neighboring volcano called Samalas.

Check out this stunning video of mountain bikers working the slopes of a tiny island in southern Indonesia.  Kenawa Island lies between the islands of Sumbawa and Lombok, the two main islands in the West Nusa Tenggara province.  The video was shot with a combination of drone and ground camera footage.  Like so many of the 17,000+ islands which make up the Indonesian nation, Kenawa is barely visible on a map yet stunningly beautiful.  

Prepare to be blown away by this drone video of Indonesia's Gili Islands, compliments of contributor Harry V.  The Gili's are a group of three tiny islands which lie to the northwest of Lombok, one of the islands which makes up the West Nusa Tenggara province.  The islands appeal to travelers seeking a pristine beach and diving environment; automobiles are prohibited on the islands by local ordinance.  Once virtually unknown, the islands began to be frequented by backpackers starting in the 1980's.  

Check out this beautiful drone video of a beach in southern Indonesia, compliments of top contributor Indo Eye.  Mawi Beach is located on the southern shore of Lombok, the principal island of the country's West Nusa Tengarra Province.  It's due south of Mataram, the largest city on the island.  Located east of Bali, Lombok is one of the up and coming beach destinations in this gigantic country.  In the video, you'll see not only the beach but some of the beautiful area just to its interior.  

Check out this stunning drone video of the Indonesian island of Lombok and its satellites, compliments of InDroneesia.  Lombok is one of the main islands of the province of West Nusa Tengarra, which lies just to the east of the better known Bali.  Lombok is becoming a popular beach destination, following in the footsteps of the much better known Bali.  In the video, you'll see some of the beaches of Lombok as well as the Gili Islands, a chain of small islands which lie just off the western coast of Lombok.  

Contributor Agus Kasuma created this stunning drone video of the eastern side of Lombok island in Indonesia.  The island, which sits across the Lombok Strait from Bali, is seeing growing interest as a vacation destination.  However, most of the tourist traffic is headed to the western side of the island; this is where the principal city Mataram is located as well as the Gili Islands.  The eastern part of the islands is much less densely populated, and mountainous.  

This video by contributor Hamdani captures the Indonesian island of Lombok as it recovered from a powerful earthquake in 2018.   The main shock, which occurred on August 5, 2018, registered a 7.0 on the Richter Scale.  It was preceded and succeeded by quakes in the 6+ range.  The epicenter was near a small town in the North Lombok Regency, in the northern part of the island.  Lombok is the principal island of the West Nusa Tengarra region, immediately east of Bali in southern Indonesia.  

Top contributor 70daysaroundtheworld created this beautiful aerial video from the Indonesian island of Lombok.  It's part of the West Nusa Tengarra region, east of Bali in the southern part of the country.  Lombok is one of the two main islands of the region, the other being Sambawa to the east.  While Sumbawa is larger in terms of area, Lombok is home to over 2/3 of the region's population.  The video was mostly shot on the island's coasts.
