My girlfriend and I are going travelling for around 7 months in January and plan to spend some of our time in Bali and Lombok in May. We are young and on a reasonable backpacker's budget.

We will be staying for around 2 weeks, most of that spent on the Gili's and Lombok. I think we will stay in Kuta near the airport for the first and last nights, but otherwise will be moving around Lombok and the Gili's.


My main questions are, is a week on Gili Trewangan too long? i.e can the island be fully experienced in less time than that?

Are Gili Air and Gili Meno particulaly worth a visit (if we're only there for 2 weeks and spend a large portion of that on Gili Trewangan)

Is there anywhere (or anything) completely unmissable on Bali/Lombok that we'd be gutted to find out we'd missed once we returned home?


I understand that everyone looks for something different in their travels but would appreciate any of your recommendations.

thanks
