Lombok has one big and volcanic mountain, Mount Rinjani.
Many people dream to climb this mountain because of the privileges of this mountain. In the middle of this mountain there is Danau Segara Anak ( Segara Anak Lake). Where this lake has a temperature of warm and cold water.
Not only the top of the mountain and the beautiful lake. Also before reaching the top of the mountain, you will be presented with the gorgeous view, this view lies at the foot of Mount Rinjani itself. The name are Sembalun (where you can directly pick the strawberry from the garden) , Bukit Pergansingan / Pergansingan Hill and Bukit Selong/ Selong Hill.

3. Move to the waterfalls in Lombok. Lombok has many beautiful and beautiful waterfalls.
Here are some waterfalls in Lombok:
· Kokoh Putiq
Basically this is not a towering waterfall. But the flow of a large river and still very beautiful.
Kokoh in Lombok's local language means river. Potek in Indonesian means White.
The location of this river is in the North Lombok sub-district is indeed very clear and clean
and the natural environment is maintained.
· Tiu Kelep Waterfall
· Sendang Gile Waterfall
All waterfalls above are located in North Lombok .
· Benang Kelambu Waterfall
However, there are still many that are also located in Central Lombok, one of the waterfalls is Benang Kelambu. Benang means yarn and Kelambu in Lombok’s languange is curtain. We can see the photo bellow that Benang Kelambu seems like the row of threads like curtains.
4. Custom and Culture
In addition to the beauty panorama. Not to forget also the customs and culture of Lombok is also very interesting to explore and learn.
Here we have :
The villages of Sade and Ende are two places of tribal and cultural tourism in Lombok. The distance between Sade and Ende is very close. Only 3-5 minutes to move from Ende to Sade, vice versa.
You also will be welcomed by the residents of the village. This picture below is the student who visited Sade Village and try the traditional outfit from Lombok.
Sasak traditional dances also take part in warming up your vacation !
You can also directly see and learn the process of making lombok woven fabric.
Your eyes will be spoiled with the result!
Beside that, if we visit this village, then we will be welcomed with a peresean performance. Peresean is a Lombok cultural custom where there are two people who are fighting using rattan weapons, played by professionals. This fight must be watched by people who are ready to see blood because of the two fight fighters. Of course this game is determined by the referee who maintains and directs the game. I think I have to tell you more about this history. So, in the next blog, it looks like I will discuss about this peresean show.
