The Gili Islands lang id Tiga Gili Three Gilis , Kepulauan Gili Gili Islands are an archipelago of three small islands Gili Trawangan , Gili Meno and Gili Air just off the northwest coast of Lombok , Indonesia . The islands are a popular destination for Western tourists looking for a remote island experience. Each island has several very small resorts, usually consisting of a small collection of huts for tourists, and a 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 bicycle or the horse drawn carriage called a cidomo . Diving in and around the Gilis is also popular due to the abundance of fish life and attractive coral formations. ref Lonely Planet guide to Bali & Lombok, Lonely Planet Publications, Melbourne, 2005 ref The name Gili Islands is a misnomer, because Gili simply means small island in Sasak language Sasak . As a result most of the islands around the coast of Lombok have Gili in their names, although confusion is averted by referring in English to the other Gilis around the Lombok coast by their proper names only. The Gili Eco Trust protects the environment of these paradisiac islands.

Gili Meno is a tiny island off the north west coast of Lombok Island, Indonesia , the middle of Lombok s three famous Gili Islands Gilis . Generally the word used in Indonesia for island is pulau but in the local language Sasak which is spoken on Lombok and surrounding islands, Gili is the word for little island . Gili Meno has a population of about 400, mainly concentrated on the center of the island. fact date July 2010 The main income comes from tourism, coconut plantation and fishing. On the west side of the island there is a small shallow lake that produces salt in the dry season. Until a few years ago there was also a small production of seaweed on the reef at the north end of the island. It has swimming beaches all around the island, as well as an impressive bird sanctuary. Monkeys also can be seen. The island attracts fewer tourists than Gili Trawangan and is the quietest and smallest of the Gilis. fact date July 2010 However, honeymooners are often drawn to the crystal clear water and idyllic, secluded white beaches. There is no fresh water on the island, it has to be brought by boat from Lombok. fact date July 2010 Electricity is supplied by generators, although there are plans for renewable energy sources to be developed. There are also no cars or motorbikes, not even real roads, only soft sandy paths. There are a limited number of tourist accommodation options.

refimprove date June 2011 Sasak architecture refers to the vernacular architecture of the Sasak , the majority indigenous ethnic group of the Indonesia n island of Lombok . Background Lombok lies immediately east of Bali and approximately the same size, however, its climate and terrain differ. The majority of the island s population is the central plain between the mountainous north and the barren, arid south. Lombok s west has a large immigrant Balinese people Balinese population and their houses and temples are similar to those of Bali. The Muslim and animist Sasak majority live in the drier eastern part of the island. Their houses rise in tiers up the hot bare hills of Lombok s southern peninsula. The majority of the traditional houses in the more developed parts of the island are no longer used. However, in the southern part of the island they are still lived in as most villagers cannot afford to change their way of life, but also because they are proud of their culture and as tourism increases there is a financial incentive to maintain the structures. Villages are clustered on low escarpments to conserve arable land. A village is approached via a path leading to a narrow gateway, and the village rises to the crown of the hill with a few lateral paths and many zig zagging trails accessing houses. A thatched roof mosque with a square pyramid or double pyramid mosque forms the centre of the village.
