Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Baun Pusuk Hawa Rinjani Adventure Tours, Jl. Raya Mataram – Tj., Malaka, Pemenang, Kabupaten Lombok Utara, Nusa Tenggara Bar. 83355, Indonesia
We leave early in the morning in the direction of Senaru but not without a stop in between. First, the Baun Pusuk is home to hundreds of monkeys eagerly waiting for your arrival and who are happy to trade you for some quality pictures in return for peanuts or bananas. Although harmful and quite the playing type, we advise caution as these animals are prone to take anything dangling (glasses, purses, shawls and even earrings) for their own possession.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Vihara Bodhi Dharma, J5PH+GJM, Bentek, Gangga, North Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara 83353, Indonesia
We continue and follow the northern coastline to Wihara, a Buddhist monastery at a predominately Muslim enclave.
If open, one can visit the Buddhist school next to the temple. The children here receive basic knowledge about the teachings of the Lord Buddha and English. Gifts such as pens, pencils and notebooks are very welcome; the school depends totally on donations, and in return, you may walk out knowing some Indonesian words!
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Senaru Village, Senaru, Lombok 83354 Indonesia
We finally make it to Senaru village, and we are immediately heading for a walk in the Rinjani National Park.
Our guide for the afternoon is a local villager who eagerly wants to show you the holistic means of walking through the bamboo groves, various irrigation systems and plantations. The view will be of indescribable beauty, so keep your camera close and snap away.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep Waterfall, Gunung Rinjani National Park, Senaru, Lombok 83354 Indonesia
This leisurely trek moves deeper into the rainforest and will end at the famous local waterfalls of Sendang Gile and Tui Kelep. Matching perfectly with the surroundings, a locally prepared Senaru lunch is served at a local restaurant before we start with the last part of this wonderful day.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Sembalun Lawang, Sembalun Lawang, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara
We continue to follow the base of Mount Rinjani and nearby the local settlement of Sembalun Lawang and Bumbung lies the tranquil Sembalun Valley, connected to the eastern slopes of the volcano. Authentic Sasak tribes still call this home and have continued to honour the traditions of their ancestors up until today.
Filled with impressions and new experiences, we head back for our long drive back to your hotel, where we should arrive at around 6 pm.
Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes
