A Cidomo is a small horse-drawn carriage used on Indonesia’s Lombok Islands used instead of motorized transport for a traditional market at lombok island. Cidomo came from word of Cikar Dokar Motor. Cikar is a traditional transport for Indonesian traditional village. Dokar is a traditional carriage to mount some good to bring and it to traditional market. And Motor is motorized transport. Cikar and dokar is the name for the body and the horse. In Jakarta it’s mean andong. And motor came form the tire. It’s like a car, isn’t? ha ha ha ha ha. Some of unique name for this traditional transportations.

The carriage usually seats up to four people, two people in the front and two in the back, and in the Gili Islands is one of the most common forms of transport as motor vehicles are not allowed. The horse carts or the cidomos are the most popular mode of transportation in the island of Lombok in Indonesia. In Senggigi and Gillis the Cidomo is mostly used by the tourists. But in the other places in Lombok, the Cidomo is a very important means of transportation for the local travelers also.  The Lombok Cidomo Service is very popular amongst the visitors for the availability and the fun that the ride provides. The fare of taking a Cidomo ride often depends on two factors – whether the Cidomo is available or not and whether there is enough demand or not.  There is no dearth for the demand for Cidomo service in Lombok during the peak seasons. The price that you have to pay for taking a ride in the Cidomo for a short trip is 1000Rp, which may rise up to 1500Rp.
