We have created this example holiday in 2012. In August 2018 Lombok has suffered 3 major earth quakes. The Gili's have a lot off damage as well as many small mountain villages around the Rinjani volcano. The International airport near Praya is open, but boat traffic between Bali and the Gili's has stopped and will be resumed in September 2018.
