Senaru
Panorama Walk and Wildlife Lovers
Discover all the highlights of Senaru on an easy half-day walk through the
scenic landscape of palm-fringed rice terraces, waterways, traditional
village and rainforest waterfalls. Follow the irrigation channel that
winds through the village fields - the lifeline of the district. Local
women will guide you, happy to share their special knowledge of culture,
customs and nature. This tour departs every morning from the Rinjani Trek
Centre.
The Rinjani Trek Centre is located at the top of the village at the
trailhead. It offers information for visitors on the Rinjani Trek, the
National Park, Sasak culture and the range of ecotourism activities
available for visitors to Senaru. National Park and village entry fees are
paid here, and all porters for trekkers have to be hired from the Senaru
Porters Group which is also based in the Rinjani Trek Centre. Village
guides, including several local women, have been specially trained to
escort visitors around the sights. Arrange a guided excursion through the
Rinjani Trek Centre or your losmen.
Waterfalls and Wildlife
Senaru’s best known attraction is the Sindang Gila and Tiu Kelep
waterfalls which attracts many thousands of Indonesian and foreign
visitors annually. Located at about 600m above sea level, the waterfall is
an easy 20 minute walk down a graded trail and steps from Senaru village.
A pleasant alternative return route winds along the edge of the steep
valley, following the irrigation canal.
With access from the main road, Senaru’s “third waterfall” Betara Lenjang
is strictly for rock climbers with a local guide and equipment.
During early morning and evening walks in Senaru you are likely to see
interesting birds, butterflies and at least one of the two species of
monkey who live in the surrounding forest. Long-tailed macaques, known
locally as kera, often sit on the road. More elusive is the rare Silvered
Leaf monkey, and also known as the black monkey or lutung, which can often
be glimpsed in the forest around the waterfalls.
Morning waterway walk and sunrise
Leave your losmen early for a one and a half hour escorted walk through
the fields, past traditional villages and along the irrigation channel
that winds through village fields past crops and houses. Enjoy visiting
local homes, seeing early morning activities and learning about farming
methods. Witness the sun rising from the sea beneath the spectacular
sweeping views of north Lombok from the summit of Mt. Rinjani to the
coast.
ROUND RINJANI DRIVE
This 10 hour day trip circuit drive around Mt. Rinjani passes through
Rinjani National Park, and includes beautiful landscapes and many
highlights of north and mid Lombok. The scenic route climbs across
mountain passes with roadside monkeys, and you can stretch your legs for a
half hour walk to the popular local cultural attraction, the healing hot
spring at Sebau deep in the forest. Optional stops include colourful local
markets, several traditional village visits, the ancient 16th century
bamboo mosque at Bayan, the Balinese Narmada summer palace, and visits to
the Rinjani gateway villages of Senaru and Sembalun Lawang.
