GILI SELANG - NORTH EASTERN BALI - KARANGASEM
Gili Selang is famous for its position directly exposed to the strong ocean currents that flow through the Lombok Strait, connecting the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. This place is also known as “Selang Pegat” which means “broken” or “separate”. While “Gili” means “small island” in the Sasak language, which is also spoken in Bali.
