Highest Season for Lombok is equivalent to Bali which during the Dry Season (May all through to September) and around Christmas and New year which is from December to end of January. This relates to the drier weather and the end of the year holiday break. Having said this, Lombok is largely never as busy as certain places in Bali. Travelling to Lombok during the off-peak period (mainly the wet season except for December to January) should be tallied as the wet season in Lombok is much drier than its neighbour Bali. Getting said that, if you’re thinking of doing a trek, then the dry period is still best as there is less chance of rainfall.
