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.
