Fully updated and expanded, this stunningly illustrated travel guide brings you superb coverage of all Bali and Lombok's unmissable experiences, from the cultural, such as classical Kamasan art, gamelan music and temple festivals, to the unabashedly self-indulgent: spas, surfing, white sands and gorgeous craft shops feature throughout its pages.
Includes advice on how to get around and full-colour maps throughout, The Rough Guide to Bali & Lombok takes you through picturesque rice fields, up Gunung Batur volcano, out to the less-visited west coast beaches, and over to the lovely little Gili Islands - now with their own dedicated chapter.
