Best of Lombok: Villages, Traditions and Waterfall
Explore North Lombok, home to the Sasak culture, on a full-day guided adventure.

Along the way, visit traditional Sasak houses, hike to the stunning Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfalls, explore bustling local markets, admire the elegant Summer Palace, and much more.
Begin your tour at the Narmada Summer Palace, an architectural masterpiece constructed in 1718 as a retreat for royalty. Continue to the awe-inspiring Sembalun Valley, a lush expanse cradled by the majestic Mount Rinjani and renowned as the primary departure point for ascents of the peak. Here, savor freshly picked strawberries at a local plantation and gain insights into the natural wonders of Rinjani National Park, home to Indonesia’s second-highest mountain.
After a serene stop in the valley, head to the captivating Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfalls, nestled on Mount Rinjani’s northern slope at an altitude of about 600 meters. These cascading wonders offer a refreshing escape—feel the invigorating rush of cold mountain water as you enjoy a rejuvenating shower amidst nature’s grandeur.
Next, immerse yourself in the cultural heart of Lombok in Senaru, a charming village where echoes of centuries past blend with the vibrant traditions of the mountain tribes. Conclude your day with a breathtaking sunset at either Malimbu or Nipah Cliff, where the view of Bali’s Mount Agung provides a perfect finale before your leisurely drive back to the hotel.
