LOMBOK
The Wallace Line, named after 19th century naturalist, Alfred Russell Wallace, marks a point of transition between the flora and fauna of Western and Eastern Indonesia and acts as the Western boundary of West Nusa Tenggara which includes the islands of Lombok and Sumbawa.
Lombok is noticeably different to its close neighbor, Bali. The northern part of the island is mountainous and lush with tall trees and shrubs. The south, on the other hand is arid and covered by savannas. Large Asian mammals are absent and replaced instead by large numbers of marsupials, lizards, cockatoos and parrots. The difference becomes more pronounced as one moves further east where dry seasons are more prolonged and the land is dry and bush-like, and, therefore, in many areas corn and sago are the staple food, instead of rice.
Climate The climate of West Nusa Tenggara is tropical. It has two seasons – the dry season and the wet season. The dry season lasts approximately from May to October and the wet season from November to April. Temperatures range between 21 to 33 degrees Celsius.
