Indonesia, Gili islands. Trawangan, Meno & Air.

The Gili Islands are an archipelago of three small islands or Gili island triplets – Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air – just off the northwest coast of Lombok, Indonesia. Each island has several small resorts, usually consisting of a collection of huts for tourists, a small pool and restaurant. Most local inhabitants live on Trawangan in a township stretching along its east side just inland (which is also where most recent development is taking place). Automobiles and motorized traffic are prohibited on the islands by local ordinance, so the preferred method of transportation is by foot and bicycle or the horse-drawn carriage called a cidomo. Due to their close proximity to the Equator, the Islands have a warm, tropical climate with a dry and wet season. Dry Season usually lasts from May until October, with monsoon season starting in November and continuing through to April. Temperatures range between 22 °C to 34 °C, with an average annual temperature of around 28 °C.
