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 Bayan’s mosque, 300 years old, is thought to be
the oldest on the island. End of our service.
