Lombok's tropical climate brings two monsoons, with the drier stretch generally running May to September and wetter months from October to April. Cooking on the island leans on rice, satay, grilled fish and fresh tropical fruit, so the local food culture rewards anyone eating out. Domestic flights and fast boats link Indonesia's islands, and international airports sit on the main islands, making arrival by sea or air equally practical. Indonesian is the main language spoken across Lombok, and English is common in tourist areas, so a few words go a long way in shops and warungs.
