Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Kediri, Kediri, East Java, Java
After a good night’s sleep at your hotel along Senggigi and Mataram (other regions come with supplementary charges), your guide and driver for the day welcome you at your hotel lobby and head out to the first stop of the day. The Kediri Traditional Market is one of the best places to see the locals going about with their business – trade here has not changed in centuries so what you will see here is how it has been going on for generations. At the end of the market, we hop on a ‘Cidomo’ – a horse-drawn carriage that is quite the popular means to travel around the market and nearby village. The trip ends at Banyumulek village, the centre for pottery on Lombok. Skilled artists still use ancient techniques in turning clay into daily household objects.
Duration: 3 hours 10 minutes
Stop At: Sukarara, Jonggat, Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia
Next will be the weaving village of Sukarare; if patience is a virtue, then this is the place where one can admire the creation of stunning, brightly-patterned songkets, ikat and clothes for sarongs. Your guide will clearly explain the various functions of this fabric. Finally, the village of Sade has to be one of the more unique places on the islands – villagers primarily use buffalo dung to create their lodges, and these processes still are used.
