With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Bayan, 25 miles away, has to offer. Gunung Rinjani National Park, Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep Waterfall and Masjid Bayan Beleq alone justify the drive out here. Situated 25 miles away, Kuta is another popular choice. If you visit, make sure you check out Kuta Beach, Scuba Froggy Kuta and Pantai Seger.
