Dragon Rider

Lombok to Komodo, self-guided

Ride from Lombok to the eastern tip of Sumbawa on this self-guided 10-day route, crossing the Wallace Line through jungle, savannah and dramatic coastline.

How it works

From booking to the open road.

Routes are released day by day in the rider app, so before booking we share the region, start and finish, distance, duration and level — never the full route.

  1. 01

    Choose a route

    Pick a route and your dates, and add any extras — bike rental, stays, activities.

  2. 02

    We confirm

    Our team confirms availability and your price, and answers any questions personally.

  3. 03

    Access the rider app

    Once your booking is paid, you receive access to the rider app.

  4. 04

    Ride, one day at a time

    Each morning, that day's navigation and stop guide unlock in the app. Support is a message away.
