Increasingly, the line of white color is increasingly wide, forming a growing mound. We hurriedly jumped out of the boat, kicked sand calling for immediate dipijak.
The white sand was very soft to withstand the weight lesak into our bodies and left footprints in the flakes of dead coral reefs. From there, as far as the eye could see, just overlays the infinite blue sea.
Pounding waves that break up and create foam on the outer side of a sand dune into the center of entertainment in the quiet of nature. Although only a mound of white sand with no vegetation and trees, this small island still looks so beautiful.
Locals call it as the white sand dune sand or Gili Gili ship. Sand or Gili Gili ship is one of the dyke in the Gili Gili Kondo lights or incoming Sambelia subdistrict, East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara.
This area is called Gili lamp because there is a lighthouse that lights flashing in the night. Name Ship or Gili Gili Pasir been because when the tide is low, the shape of the island resembles a small boat. Also called Gili Pasir because only a sand dune.
The light can reach the Gili Gili from the Port of Lights in Sambelia. Rent many motorized boats at a rate affordable enough to get to these islands. Gili Pasir addition, there is also Petagan Gili, Gili Bidara and Gili Kondo.
Gili Pasir fishermen often used for fishing. That afternoon, there were 10 fishermen from Wanasaba Village, East Lombok, who fish with a fishing rod. The catch is in the form of barracuda looked lying in the sand, still in the net each. The distinctive smell of fresh fish was bubbling in the air.
For fishing, the fishermen need only walk a few dozen meters away from the shore. They seemed lined up waiting to ensnare fish bait successfully. Activities that looks interesting, but actually damage the environment by trampling the coral reefs around Gili Pasir.
Mangrove
Before stepping Gili Pasir, our boat got closer to Gili Petagan. In contrast to the Gili sand is not overgrown with trees, Gili Petagan filled with mangroves. From a distance, it looks like Gili Petagan gerumbul or white line with green bushes as if floating in the middle of the sea-green.
Gili Petagan around, a lot of points for the lovers of the beauty of the underwater world. Many snorkeling and diving enthusiasts who enjoy the beauty of the underwater world in Gili Petagan. Clear water makes visibility is not too far, only about 7 meters. However, for diving, there is a depth of up to 20 meters.
Adi, the boat driver we hired, said the condition of coral reefs in Gili Petagan still relatively good. Only a small proportion of damaged because trampled tourists exhausted by too long in the water. "Hence, we are always reminded that when snorkeling or diving, they were not to step on the coral reefs," said Adi.
Unfortunately, the area manager Gili Lamp not have a boat with a glass floor so visitors can also enjoy the beautiful coral reefs there. Satisfied enjoy the coral reefs at some point in Gili Petagan shallow waters, boat we drove towards Gili Bidara. Gradation showing the variation depths seductive eyes to keep removing the view out to sea.
red sand
Gili Bidara there is vegetation that was then being withered due to very hot weather. However, the beach at Gili Bidara very beautiful, including the beauty of the underwater world that is no less than Gili Petagan.
Fans of snorkeling and diving can enjoy the beauty of the coral reefs in this dyke. Fro snorkeling not far from the boat moored was already very pleasant. However, if sufficient time, can also snorkel up to about 20 meters from the beach to watch the coral reef at the transplant site. Swim in Gili Bidara quite safe with water that is not too choppy during the day. Enjoy the sensation of salty sea water on the white sand large extend.
Of Gili Bidara, Gunung Rinjani graceful seemed obvious. Blend of mountain and sea create a truly beautiful scenery.
By late afternoon, we arrived at the last island, Gili Kondo. The island is slightly larger than Gili Bidara has white sand beaches around very pretty. Travelers can take pictures with a background of white sand and Gili Bidara located not too far from Gili Kondo or Gunung Rinjani.
Although the island is seen widely, it did not take long to down the beach Gili Kondo mobile rubble. In some places appear reddish sand with corals die outspread red. In the central part of the island had the mark of sesame crops have been harvested and dried up.
However, do not try to go around the island barefoot because rubble that still feels rough and painful, or sandy soil that is very hot during the day. At some point, there is a gazebo that can be used to unwind or take shelter from the scorching sun.
The legend says, if lucky, of Gili Kondo we can meet with his beautiful Australian pelicans. In fact, if it intends to spend the night here, sunsets are red round will be an unforgettable gift.
