So, what can be viewed on the beautiful island of Lombok:
Tanjung-An (Tanjung A'an)
Beautiful area near the beach of Kuta. Sand is unique there by what he looks like pepper granules. That is, a rather large sand, which many tourists try to remove to souvenirs. This beach is guarded from early morning to night, and it's great because there are no shopkeepers on the beach, hiker tourists. Although it is still there, and, mostly, these are children and peaceful sewners who are trying to make money on life, they are pretty good-natured and not annoying. Often, they can buy suards of good quality and drink Kalapa Mud (coconut juice, in short): Traders split coconuts for you, and if you are lucky, you will still give straw or even a glass - clean thrill!
Narmada Water Park (Taman Narmada)
Located 10 km east of Mataram Park was a place to rest local kings at one time. The park has a Hindu temple, a swimming pool and a fountain (which is called "Youth Fountain"), as it is believed that he extends the life to someone who drinks water from it). Entrance tickets to the park are somewhere RP 4000, but sometimes "foreigners" have to pay to RP 10000. Despite this strange rates, the place is worthwhile, beautiful and useful. True, for some reason, the lips are abandoned, but still on Sundays there are holidays here, and in general the park is very popular among the people of Lombok, which flocks there to arrange a picnic and swim in a large pool, replenished fresh water of forest springs. This is a great place to see what the locals are engaged in their free time, as well as learn more about traditional games.
Air Terjun Sindang Gila (Air Terjun Sindang Gila)
Translated the name means "Slightly Crazy Waterfalls" or "Crazy Waterfalls". There is this waterfall near the village of Senar on the slopes of Rindjani Mountains. When you go to the waterfall, get ready for not a particularly pleasant greeting: mocking staff at the gate, annoying merchants with all possible, obsessive guides that are starting a tour without your consent. It is worth noting that no guide you will not need to go down the steps to the main zone of the waterfall and go upstairs after. There is only one way leading down from the entrance gate to the waterfall. And the waterfall is impressive, because the water flows "very vertically", with a root, from a huge height. I hope that money that takes at the entrance from tourists go to improving the state of the waterfall, since the neighborhood of it is usually covered with a layer of garbage left by sloppy visitors. At the very least, it was so far, and then the regional government launched the modernization program, in order to improve the convenience at the base of the waterfall - all sorts of urns, and so on, to look more repetitive. Get ready for what you have to descend the stairs of twenty minutes, and then up up is the most gravity, and requires effort, especially on a hot day.
Air Terjun Tyup (Air Terjun Tiu Kelep)
This is the second waterfall next to Senar. It is located at 1 hour walk from the village, there it is better to find a reputable local guide if you still found an ordinary driver who wants to show you the way. In order to get to the second waterfall, follow the path down to the first waterfall, and then you have to go upstream. Shoes are not recommended to wear, well, or it should be very strong, as you have to be witched through the rivers - on water, sometimes you have to go 50 meters or so. But this waterfall has a deep swimming pool, where you can swim or even jump from the rocks into the water, and there is still a tunnel that can be used as a water slide. So you and the natural water park!
Air Terjun Betara Lenjang (Air Terjun Betara Lenjang)
Third senar waterfall. True, you just do not pick it up. Hike to this waterfall requires advance planning and in general, it is "shown" only for experienced climbers, or at least with a local guide (but with special equipment).
Monkey Forest Pusuk (Pusuk Monkey Forest)
Lifting on a winding road through delicious mountain landscapes is one of the options for how you can get to Bangsala. So, on the way you will find the so-called "Woods of Monkeys", where numerous wild monkeys live in the jungle. You can take a little meal with you and feed the hungry little monkeys, but be careful and keep our bags, backpacks and brilliant items. You can drive through the forest on the scooter, but on foot, in my opinion, prettier.
Maavun Beach (Mawun Beach)
This huge beach is not too popular among tourists, it is just beautiful! It all depends on the day of the week and the time of day, of course, but mostly, this beach with soft white sand and turquoise water is quite deserted. Sometimes there are strong waves. The beach is located in a secluded place - in an almost closed bay, which can be easily reached on a scooter or bike.
Pink Beach (Pink Beach)
So, to get there, you need a good driver or strong nerves (especially if you go there on a scooter). The road to this beach is quite complicated, since, these roads and roads are difficult. But when you overcome all the bodies and bumps, you will be rewarded with the beauties of a deserted quiet beach. Yes, with pink sand, which consists of the smallest particles of colored corals. A stunning view from the nearest hills is amazing, and, by the way, the popular tanjung ringgit is located nearby.
Mosques and Hindu temples
Unlike Bali, in Lombok live mostly Muslims. That is why you can see and especially hear the mosques almost everywhere. When you book a hotel, make sure that it is away from the mosque. Especially during Ramadan - to sleep will be problematic (and the first namaz is predained).
The Balinese minority on Lombok also has its temples - Pura Meru, Pura Lingsar, Pura Narmada (Pura Narmada) or Pura Batu Bolong. Most of them are located in the western part of the island and in the area of Mataram and Sengigi.
