Lombok to Flores: The Hidden Path
Looking for the kind of adventure that actually feels like one? This two-week journey through Lombok and Flores trades polished tourist sites for rice terrace treks, jungle rivers, and nights under the stars. Sleep in a mountaintop village you can only reach on foot. Weave with locals, swim in volcanic waters, and kayak through the same seas where Komodo dragons still roam. From hands-on cultural moments to off-the-grid island bliss, this is Indonesia in its rawest, realest form — and you’re right in the middle of it.

RAMADAN
According to the lunar cycle, Ramadan will fall between Feb 28th - Mar 29th 2025, and Feb 17th - Mar 19th 2026. Please note that Ramadan is a month of fasting observed by Muslims throughout the world, during which time the followers of Islam should not eat or drink between sunrise and sunset. There may be some limitations to services and disruptions to schedules during Ramadan, but generally our tours still operate effectively during this period and food is available to non-Muslims throughout the day. It is very important to display increased cultural sensitivity during Ramadan. Please wear loose fitting clothes, that cover knees and shoulders, and try to avoid eating, drinking or smoking in public out of respect for those who can't at that time.
COMBO TRIP
Please note that this tour combines with other G Adventures tours. As such, the staff and some travel companions on your tour may have previously been traveling together with G Adventures, prior to Day 1 of your tour. Likewise, some staff and travel companions may be continuing together on another G Adventures tour, after your trip concludes.
