Mount Rinjani: Lombok’s Highest Peak

January 3, 2014 By // by Sarah Cruz Leave a Comment

Mount Rinjani or Gunung Rinjani is easily the most spectacular attraction in the island of Lombok since nothing is taller than this 3,726-meter high volcano, the second tallest volcano in all of Indonesia. It is an active volcano whose last eruption was in October 2004. For this reason, the Gunung Rinjani Observation Post in the village of Lawang is keeping a close watch since Mount Rinjani, although dangerously active, is still a leading tourist destination.

Rinjani tourism is growing since trekkers and hikers are still allowed to climb all the way up to the crater. Also on top of the volcano is a 6-km wide caldera, which contains hot springs with some of its parts now partially filled by the water coming from the crater lake, Segara Anak (“Child of the Sea”). The crater lake is 2,000 meters above sea level and is estimated to be about 200 meters deep. Expert trekkers and mountaineers just love visiting these intriguing yet dangerous volcanic features. …

Air Terjun Tiu Kelep in Lombok – Indonesia

LOMBOK AND ITS PEOPLE

Mystical Mayura Garden

January 3, 2014 By // by Sarah Cruz Leave a Comment

The island of Lombok in south-central Indonesia is slowly becoming an important tourist destination. It could have been as popular as Bali by now if not for its past:it has had such a problematic history that its tourism industry never took off. If you’ve been to Bali, imagine it without the pollution, tourism overload, persistent beach vendors, and unending rows of shops and stalls, then you get an idea of how beautiful Lombok is. In addition to the beaches of this place, Mayura Garden stands as an important tourist attraction in Lombok.

Located in Cakranegara, the Mayura Garden is a very old structure that was built by ancient Balinese who settled in Lombok. Bali and Lombok are just 45 kilometers apart, separated only by the Lombok Strait. Maybe many million years ago these two beautiful islands were just one amazing island since it is quite apparent today that they share the same beautiful natural treasures such as their beaches, reefs and waterfalls. When the Balinese people decided to build a kingdom in nearby Lombok, they built picturesque temples and palaces. The Mayura Garden used to be a part of one those palaces. …

The 3,726-meter high Mount Rinjani in Lombok is not only popular for its height and majestic presence over the island but also for being the home of three magnificent waterfalls: Air Terjun Sindang Gila, Air Terjun Tiu Kelep, and Air Terjun Betara Lenjang.

Air Terjun Betara Lenjang in Lombok – Indonesia

While Sindang Gila is the most popular, Betara Lenjang is the most challenging. A climb up Senaru’s third waterfall is not for everyone and only for the more experienced mountain trekker or rock climber using reliable equipment and trekking alongside an experienced guide. From the village center, one has to walk for two hours through lush rainforest.

The nearby island of Bali is in Central Java, although these two paradise islands are only 45 km apart, separated by the Lombok Strait.
