Gili Trawangan Viewpoint - Best sunset point on a hill on Gili T

Looking for the best place for the sunset at the Gili Trawangan viewpoint? Although it is not impressive, the 100-meter hill, known as Gili Trawangan Hilltop, is the highest point on Gili T.

Although it is only a short walk, you often only have a handful of people at the Gili Trawangan viewpoint. As a result, I think that it is one of the best places for sunsets on the island if you want a great view and a break from the busy streets below.

The viewpoint Gili Trawangan - viewpoint on the hill

The viewpoint Gili Trawangan or Gili t Hilltop is located on the southwestern corner of Gili T. It is just a short walk that should only take about 5 minutes from the beach.

The viewpoint on the hill of Gili Trawangan is covered with trees that are usually missing their leaves. I suspect that this could be due to the violent wind that can roll over the island.

As soon as you have arrived at the top, you have a 360-degree panoramic view of Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. On a clear day you can probably also look to Lombok and even the mountain of Agung, which protrudes from the mainland of Bali.

How to come to the Gili Trawangan viewpoint

To get to the Gili Trawangan Hilltop location, you have to drive into the southwestern corner of the island. The best way to find her is to go to a bar that is marked on Google Maps as a "Sunset Bar", right on the edge, where the beach ends and the road around the corner begins.

From here you will notice the concrete levels that lead the hill up.

It is just a short but steep 5-minute walk to the top of the Gili T hill, where you can enjoy the view of the tropical island. We spent a short time up here at the sunset before we went down in the dark on the other side.

When you go this path, you will pass a horse stable at the foot of the hill where you have to turn right to get back on the main beach road.
