Lombok Explorer - 6
Day / 5 Night
Tour
Lombok is a unique and varied
island with may remote villages, thick jungle and interesting sights to explore.
In this trip we will get away from the usual tourist areas and look for a bit of
adventure, travelling by land and sea around most of Lombok, meeting the locals
and taking in more of the culture and fantastic scenery that other tours
neglect.
DAY 1 - Tetebatu
We’ll pick you up from your
morning arrival into Lombok or from your hotel in Senggigi hotel and take of
through the capital heading east across the island along the way there are many
unusual places we can visit including an old Sasak village with mud houses, and
numerous ancient temples. Our destination is Tetebatu, a mountain retreat at the
base of Mt Rinjani. In the afternoon you can explore the town and tabacco farms
by cidomo, or the forest up the mountain is good for trekking to isolated
villages or Jukut Waterfall. Overnight is at Wisma Soedjono, an old colonial
house converted to a hotel with a pool and good simple rooms.
DAY 2 - Mt Rinjani
In the morning we head north
around Gunung Rinjani, passing Labuan Lombok ( the departure point for boats to
Sumbawa) on the way to Senaru. This is a small village with a few simple losmens
from where most visitors base themselves in preparation to climb Mt Rinjani ( if
you would like to do this , the tour can be extended to allow time for the
climb). From our hotel here there are good walks to a couple of large waterfalls
and vantage points offering spectacular views to the coast. Overnight in Pondok
Senaru or similar (cold water and basic rooms).
DAY 3
Today we complete the circle of
the volcano Rinjani and arrive in the morning at Bangsal Harbour in time to
catch the public boat to the Gili’s.After covering many miles, these islands
are a great place to beach-out or try snorkelling over the colourful coral reefs
around these islands. Tonight well stay on Gili Trawangan at the Bukit Indah
Hotel.
DAY 4 - Kuta Beach
We catch the morning boat again
back to Bangsal Harbour then drive south via the Pusak Pass with great views to
the coast, monkeys, and lush vegetation on the way to Kuta Beach. On the way
there are many small villages and towns, interesting countryside and plenty to
see. The villages here are renowned for their handicrafts, including Lombok
pottery and Ikat weaving We’ll stop and have a wander through some of these
villages. Don’t be surprised if your followed by a bunch of kids- they still
don’t see to many tourists in these villages. In the afternoon we’ll arrive
in Kuta Beach and our hotel, Matahari Inn, a great little place with a good
restaurant.
DAY 5- Gili Nanggu
The area around Kuta Beach is
famous for its great beaches but the farms and villages around here are also
interesting and the countryside is really scenic. Many of the locals have seen
few tourists and we can spend the morning exploring around here before heading
off towards Lembar Harbour around midday. After driving around a bumpy dirt road
following the coast, we’ll stop at the tiny village of Taun to rent a local
prahu ( fishing boat with sail ) to transfer us to Gili Nanggu. This island is
one of the few inhabited in the area, ideal for unwinding after all the
travelling, with rustic Bungalows overlooking the water.
DAY 6
After a leisurely morning we
will depart Gili Nanggu by motorboat back to Lembar Harbour where you can either
connect for the ferry back to Bali, or transfer to your next Lombok hotel.
