By bus and ferry in Nusa Tenggara

From Bali in the west to Timor in the east, the classic island-hopping backpacker trail across Nusa Tenggara runs something like this:
  • Ferry from Padangbai, Bali to Lembar, Lombok
  • Overland across Lombok via Senggigi
  • Ferry from Labuhan Lombok to Poto Tano, Sumbawa
  • Overland across Sumbawa via Sumbawa Besar and Bima
  • Ferry from Sape to Labuanbajo, Flores
  • Overland across Flores via Maumere to Ende
  • Ferry from Ende to Kupang, West Timor
  • Overland across Timor to Dili, East Timor
  • Popular detours include visiting the 3 Gili Islands lying a few km of the western coast of Lombok and Komodo north of Flores. Less popular options include going via Sumba instead of Flores. A night time ferry also runs, sometimes, from Waingapu, Sumba to Ende, Flores, taking about 11 hours.
