Yes, it was totally a different world. And moreover, it was looking like a heaven. The people were so real and so was the air. The beach was flex gold, we heard the snazzy sea lap gently. When I was walking on the bow of the beach cylinders of light moved across the sea. The other travelers were leather brown. The sun toasted our skin and the sea air smelled of a chlorine.
Gili Air is one of the Island out of 1700 Island, which completes the beautiful country of Indonesia. It was a suggestion of one my friend and it proves to be one of the best till date.
So let’s see why Gili Air was so fascinating for me.
How to reach
The best way to reach Gili Air is by taking a ferry from Padang Bai, Bali. No need to take flight from Bali to Lombok. If you are doing that then you will be missing a lot. Still a secret 🙂
It will take 3 hours by ferry and it feels really refreshing. Everybody on this small ferry will be in party mood and one can make a lot of new friends.
What to do
No itinerary, no pick drops, no excursions. Yes, be yourself and do what you want to do. Nobody can stop you from doing things the way you want to do. This will also help you to know yourself better.
How to commute in Gili Air
Walking, Cycling or Horse Cart. Only these three options you have. Yes, this Island is free of all motorized vehicles. It’s pollution free.
Must things to do
Scuba, Snorkelling and Island Hopping. These three things are the must do. You can easily take a government ferry to go to Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan. And can also return back the same day.
What and where to eat
All the restaurants are sea facing. So restaurants on one side and Hotels and other stuffs on the other side. Every restaurant is fascinating. And the food is amazing whether you are a vegetarian or non-vegetarian. You can also try some local dishes like Gado Gado and Chicken Satae.
How about local people on the Island
Since it’s a heaven, so people are also like that. I have never seen such amazing people in my life. They are even better that your family members. Yes, believe me. And if you are an Indian then you will be amazed by the love you will get on this Island. Yes, this is the place where I felt its worth to be Indian. Not even my country makes me feel that way. Always ready to help. And whenever they will see you, they will say- Hi Bro! How are you?? Even at night also its very safe to walk around the island.
What a special gift this Island gave me?
It gave me that what I always wanted. Yes, I always wanted to swim. I felt calm when I was inside water. In fact, I was actually breathing when I was inside. After coming back, I learn to swim and now I am loving my life more than before.
The more I will write, the more I will miss this island. It’s the best place till date I have been to. After reading this article you will definitely get tempted to go to this island.
