Waterfall Tour == 8 Hours
Firstly from Senggigi, we are heading to Pusuk Pass.
Pusuk is high and cool mountain pass along the main road to the road
is famous for its views and tropical monkeys that wait by the side
of the road waiting for snacks from passers by. There is a
restaurant for light snacks and to enjoy the fantastic natural
panorama. Then, trailing the same main road, at last we arrive at
Senaru traditional village as our second visit of the day.
Senaru village is a humble village which is dotted with old
houses maintained traditionally till nowadays as the perpetuation
of Islam Wektu Telu religion heritage and the waktu telu religion is
still being practiced by an estimated 5000 people just in Bayan
itself including this villagers. Wektu Telu religion signifies the
complex mixture of the three religions that comprise Wektu Telu:
Balinese Hindhuism, Islam and Animism. Members of the Wektu Telu
religion regards themselves as Muslims, although they are not
officially accepted as such by mainstream Muslims. After this, then
we are heading back down to the two waterfalls as our main activity
of the day.
Those towering waterfalls are Sindang Gila and Tiu Kelep
waterfall. Sindanggila is considered smaller than Tiu
Kelep but its peculiarity is that it seems it cut through in the
middle of the waterfall by a dike line is only to find that the more
you are exploring down the river line off the main waterfall, the
more you will encounter many other small waterfalls streaming down
the dike line. After this, we are trailing up the irrigation steps
and follow the ditch line and pass the brooks to get to Tiu Kelep.
Tiu Kelep is regarded the biggest waterfall in Lombok, on its base
is the pool which sending chilly and cool water for the swimmers and
according to Lombok belief it will keep you young once you probe its
chilly waters.
After that, then we are going back to some restaurant in senaru to
take some respite. Then, we continue down to Islam Waktu Telu mosque
is our last resort of our program of the day. Islam is said to have
first arrived on Lombok at Bayan, and Bayans mosque, 300
years old, is thought to be the oldest on the island. End of our
service.
