Lembah Sembalun VILLAGE - The Small Heaven On The Foot of Mt. Rinjani

Lembah Sembalun, The Small Heaven on The Foot of Mt. Rinjani

lombokdestinations.com – On the steep slopes of Mountain Rinjani, it gets very cold at night, but as soon as the sun comes out, a scenic panorama is revealed. Rice, garlic, tomato, chili, cabbage fields unfold in the valley against the background of the still active volcano. The indigenous Sembaluncommunity settling here has scarce space to live.

The steeper slopes cannot be cultivated. A part of their traditional land overlaps with the Mount Rinjani National Park, other areas where turned into big, privately-owned, plantations. A huge state-of-the-art greenhouse in the middle of the land traditionally used by the Sembalun for cattle ranching, on the territory of the national park further reduces the land available.

The introduction of modern large-scale agribusiness and private land ownership has over the last decades considerably devastated the natural resources, diminished the forest and threatened the water sources. It is forbidden to extract any kind of wood or hunt animals. Whoever wants to fell a tree needs to receive a permission, subject to a proof that 10 new trees have been planted. Newly-married couples have the obligation to plant 4 new trees and care for them.

Traditionally, of the 24 000 hectar belonging to the customary Sembalun land, only about 4000 are converted to be used for fruit and vegetable agriculture, pasture land for livestock, rice fields, settlement and harvest stocks. The remaining area is remains for the biggest part intact nature, consisting mainly of forests.

In recent times, cattle running free have become a problem, together with forest fires, damaging the intact or freshly reforested areas.

Sembalun is divided into two villages; Sembalun Lawang and Sembalun Bumbung which only 2 km apart. The area looks like a dry lake, transformed into a fertile land.

Sembalun Lawang is set in an ancient and fertile caldera to the east of Mt. Rinjani, the preferred access route for summiteers. The rich soil produces high quality market garden crops, including the famous garlic and rice, staple of local farmers. Seismic activity is monitored daily at the government Rinjani Volcanology Centre.

The beautiful valley of Sembalun is also known for its hill walks, recently restored traditional village, active cultural performers and local weavers. Some home stay (losmen) accommodation is available and trek services are based at the Park’s Rinjani Information Centre. Also enquire about the local walks: the Sembalun Lawang Village Walk, to experience the scenic beauty of the village or/and the Sembalun Wildflowers Walk, a two day one night hike to see the wildflowers at Propok in Gunung Rinjani National Park

The Twin Waterfalls of Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu

LOMBOK TRAVEL GUIDE – When the time comes for a change of scenery away from Lombok’s glorious beach life, the island’s magical waterfalls are always high on the list. For most visitors, the cascading falls of Sendang Gile are the main attraction but savvy locals in the nkow head for some of Lombok’s secret waterfalls hidden deep in the hinterland.

The twin waterfalls of Benang Setokel and Benang Kelambu are two such hidden gems yet are not as difficult to get to as one would imagine. Situated in the far southern foothills of Mount Rinjani near the village of Aik Berik, it takes about an hour’s drive to reach from Mataram.

It’s an appealing scenic drive from the city through villages backed by undulating rice fields. Before reaching Benang Kelambu you will encounter its twin sister Benang Setokel waterfall which cascades down into a crystal clear pool of water from about 20 metres high. The shallow pool is very clear an ice cold – the perfect respite on a hot tropical day. A large clearing surrounded by a mossy rock face is very photogenic and a great spot to enjoy a picnic.

It is an easy walk from the main road to here while the Benang Kelambu waterfall is a futher 30 minutes on foot along a forested path surrounded by banana trees, coffee, jackfruit, and a multitude of other exotic plants. There is usually lots of unseen activity in the undergrowth, with chirping birds and a colony of long tail monkeys scampering around.

Once you reach Benang Kelambu it becomes immediately apparent the extra walking was worthwhile. It is an Instagram worthy moment watching the sheets of fresh, cool water jetting out of a steep rock face of vibrant green. It has a mesmerising quality as you gaze up and see the water cascade through the thick undergrowth that completely covers the hillside.

In all, the waters drop down three levels from a heigh of about 40 metres and it’s a very peaceful experience. While most waterfalls of a smiliar height are a thunderous, noisy experience crashing against rocks, the waters of Benang Kelambu are much quieter, passing through a thick wall of tropical flora.

The water here is also incredibly clear and unsurprisingly is thought to be a cure-all for all manner of ailments. The water is thought to be sourced directly from Rinjani’s volcanic Segara Anak lake. There are a handful of food stalls located near the entrance to both waterfalls and it has become a busy weekend haunt for local families.

Lombok Island, Indonesia

This is Lombok, Having Finally Stepped out of Bali’s Shadow!

LOMBOK TRAVEL GUIDE – Lombok’s time is here and now, having finally stepped out of Bali’s shadow, showcasing to the world its unique mix of adventure, pristine natural scenery and captivating art and culture. A new airport, international yacht marina and improved reads have made travel to and within Lombok much easier, but it is its untamed natural beauty and traditional charm that captivates.

It is an adventure-seeker’s paradise, home to world-class scuba diving, surfing and mountain climbing yet travellers looking for a cosmopolitan beach lifestyle and luxury creature comforts will not be short of options. Experience the best of Lombok with these recomended highlights and hidden gems:

Senggigi and The West Coast

Senggigi, just a short drive from the island capital Mataram is Lombok’s premier beach resort, extending along a series of sweeping bays. The main beach strip is fringed by a wide expanse of sand framed nightly by spectacular ocean sunsets.

It is a fairly spread out beach town that rarely feels overcrowded yet there is a board variety of places to stay, eat and socialse. There is a vibrant expat community here with lots of opportunity for sports and leisure, business networking and searching out those hard to find omported goods.

Senggigi Beach Resort (c) guidelombok.com

Senggigi is the beast place to arrange days out and guided trips to other parts of Lombok. The beach road then winds it way north to upmarket Mangsit, dotted with hip boutique hotels and villas among some of west Lombok’s most captivating scenery.

In all, the Senggigi area stretches for almost 10km along the west coast, and away from the main tourist centre, comprise numerous palm fringed beaches dotted with colourful fishing boats.

Gili Islands

A trio of tiny tropical island off the northwest coast, known simple as “the Gilis” are the go-to place for laid-back island life and the simple pleaseures of sun, sea and superb scuba diving.

Each of these three islands has its own distinctive atmosphere; the smallest is Gili Meno, a peaceful tropical island haven with few distractions other thatn deserted white sand beaches and a couple of chilled out beach bars.

Legendary “party island” Gili Trawangan is largest and most cosmopolitan of the Gili Islands with no shortage of swanky boutique villas, diverse dining and plenty of action after dark. Gili Air, located closest to the Lombok mainland, sits somewhere in the middle of these two extremes and has the most authentic local atmosphere.

The enduring appeal of the Gili Islands is the refreshing absence of any motorised transport making for a pleasant alternative to Bali’s congested beach resorts.

Scuba diving is still the main draw and it is one of Asia’s top spots to learn the basics and get qualified. For landlubbers, there are few better places to get horizontal on a tropical beach and soak up the unique island vibe.

Kuta and South Lombok

Like its namesake in Bali, Kuta Lombok is synonymous with worl-class waves but thankfully without the hassle of 24/7 traffic and infuriating beach hawkers. In fact, Lombok’s south coast surf breaks are more than a match for the best in Bali, and savvy surfers are heading here to enjoy miles of uncrowded, adrenaline-fuelled waves.

Kuta, invitingly close to Lombok’s new International airport, is the main tourist hub yet remains a fairly tranquil tropical haven favoured by both surfers and adventurous families. It makes for a great base for exploring the rugged souhthern coastline dotted with numerous breathtaking beaches. Scenic highlights include up-and-comping Tanjung A’an, Gerupuk and isolated Ekas Bay.

The Southwest

Lombok’s ruggedly beautiful southwest peninsular is largely unexplored by visitors but is now getting serious recognition with the discovery of superb offshore scuba diving and miles of deserted beaches.

The main gateway is Sekotong Bay, located just south of Lombok’s main ferry port Lembar and is the jumping off point for Lombok’s “Secret Gilis“. These small offshore islands feature pristine coral reefs and idyllic tropical beaches for a real castaway experience.

Gili Kedis, Sekotong West Lombok (c) canfly advertising

Heading south, the coastal road winds its way past tiny fishing communities and secluded bays all the way to the tip of the peninsular where the legendary surf breaks of Bangko-Bangko (Desert Point) are found-rated among the best in the world.

Mount Rinjani

For an alternative to surf, scuba and sandy beaches, a trek up the immense Rinjani volcano is hard to beat. At over 3.700 meters, this is Indonesia’s second highest volcano and makes for challenging 3-4 day trek but the views are definitely worth all the effort.

The mountain dominates much of north Lombok and the caldera alone covers a mind-boggling 50 square kilometres. Most climbers only go as far as the crater rim which offers vertigo-inducing views down into the volcanic lake but the extra effort to get to the summit will be rewarded with views as far as Java and eastwards across to the island of Sumbawa.

If this all sounds too arduous for comfort, the mountain’s foothills offer a wealth of leisurely hiking opportunities. Head to Senaru village for easy-going walks through remote weaving villages and dense jungle to uncover a succession of scenic waterfalls.
