Currently Senggigi and surround is less competitive with other tourist attractions, especially Gili Trawangan, which is now the most inviting foreign tourists to come to Lombok, as evidenced by the number of fast boat agents or fast boats that come to spill passengers on the island consisting of 3 villas namely Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and gili Air located in North Lombok regency.

Gili Trawangan
Foreign tourists are waiting for the fast boat to dock on Gili Trawangan.

Maybe Senggigi beach is too close to Mataram city (15 km) so that many residents of Mataram city who easily come together enliven the Senggigi area which makes foreign visitors feel less comfortable to spend their vacation time in Senggigi and surround.

Talking about hotel accommodation Senggigi and surround offers a selection of classy resort choices consisting of five-star high budgets, private villas, three-star hotels, bungalows to jasmine-class accommodations in other words, the most classy lodging in Senggigi and surround compared to other tourism places in Lombok.

Until now the Senggigi and surround had changed a lot from the previous situation because many local visitors came to visit the Senggigi beach to lure village traders to open the beach stalls which made the beach view damaged by the roof – the tarpaulin roof of the traders.

Don’t be discouraged to visit the Senggigi and surround because it is not far from Senggigi area it still offers beautiful places, you can stay in Senggigi and surround.

If we drive from the direction of Mataram to Senggigi and surround there are several points.

Important point of your tour that you have to go through while traversing the asphalt road which is now smooth and slippery to be crushed by the wheels of tourism vehicles because indeed the district government of West Lombok is very much giving more priority to this road access.

At the intersection of sub-districts, the winner of North Lombok district, when you enter the city of Ampenan the road has started to be wide with views of buildings dominated by lined up shops and typical Lombok souvenir.

Shops on the road to the Batu Layar sub-district. One-star hotels, bungalows, home stays and some restaurants join in to decorate this smooth and slippery path.

Then heading north you will enter the Mangsit village area which has a hotel, Alang – alang, Puri Mas boutiqe, Key villa and Holiday Inn resort, then we will enter the Klui village area into North Lombok regency.

Here there is one star hotel namely Jeva Klui who recently expanded its occupancy to the north side of the hotel and after that there was rarely a building just a coconut garden under which overgrown with green grass.

Looks the beach is not far from that place, then after a few bends uphill and there are hotel buildings that are in the process of being under the cliffs among them Ghost Villa is a building that has not been finished yet but this place is

Often visited by people for a photo self y place to the top of the building because it is recognized that this place has a very good view because from here you can see a very charming coastline decorated with thousands of coconut trees.

Malimbu Just Next to Senggigi Area

Malimbu beach
Now the highway is constructed and has relling in every cliff

After that we shift northward 300 m with a slightly uphill road here we will see a blue iron reeling with a fairly wide road and there is an amazing view that is often mentioned as Malimbu beach.

Here Gili Trawangan island looks beautiful decorate the sea while 2 other Gili still not visible because it is still blocked by the headland that protrudes on a hotel “Puri Malimbu.”

Not far from this view point on the side of the road that descends below, there are quite steep cliffs here, there are resting booths, but the merchants of the culinary delights of sea fish, the condition of the road around it has a contour of the road which is downhill and sharp but wide road very supportive for traffic comfort.

Culinary area
Grilled fish culinary on Nipah beach

Then we continue to the north just above the incline which immediately corners there is Puri Malimbu hotel and underneath there is a view of the Nipah bay adorned with cliffs of hills which are surrounded by coconut trees or also called Malimbu hill.

We descend from the gate of the Malimbu Puri hotel to the Nipah bay we will be welcomed with the culinary atmosphere of grilled fish lined up on the left side of the road, but if visitors want to enjoy the culinary with the atmosphere of the beach, notice there is a dirt track to the Nipah bay.

The car can go towards the beach, here you can serve the location of culinary grilled fish with a standard price, not expensive around Rp 45,000 for a large enough fish and served on gazebo while enjoying the beach atmosphere, right?

If after lunch at this location you can rent canoes to play children on the beach, which is barely choppy, but it is different if the wind season only has waves on the beach.

Malaka Hill and the Own Beautiful Bay

Malaka Beac hill
Looks at Nipah bay under Malimbu hill

Next point next we see the edge of the cliff on the right above we will go there namely the view point of Malacca beach about 400 meters drive motorbike.

From this location we will see three Gili lined up to decorate the ocean and the most crowded is Gili Trawangan besides the biggest also only Gili Trawangan that has a hill, then in the middle of and the smallest one is Gili Meno and then the most edge close to the mainland, Gili Air, from Malacca beach.

You can be satisfied to direct the camera shots in all directions and don’t forget down there is a small alley above the cliff to descend towards the beach but you will not find a beach, but what you will find is a good view towards the Nipah bay and towards Agung mountain in Bali if the weather is sunny both afternoon, morning and evening.

Close to Malaka
Down from the Malacca hill a little you will find this one object

Furthermore, from the hill of Malacca, it only goes down a few hundred meters, there will still be nice objects to take photos with clear sea water and the construction of a pretty good road winding around the beautiful and full coastline.

Don’t be lazy to stop because Lombok is far away and it’s a pity to miss the beauty spots so even if you just got in a car then you have to park again.

It’s been hot again and it seems like if you continue to drive it will be cool but unfortunately after arriving in the city where you live you will sorry if you don’t want to go down to take pictures, while your partner who has been to Lombok shows you where you passed, but unfortunately you were lazy to go down

Malimbu cape
It appears Malimbu hill from Setangi hamlet during the Dry season.

Still not far from here, we will go to the Mentigi beach, the shape is not the same but the beauty is not much different, the coastline around this path will never seem to make eyes closed unless you happen to be asleep from before.

This crystal clear beach always spreading the charm in front of you when you are in a car or motorcycle as long as you always focus on seeing the road, in this location it is quite quiet for vehicles to pass but if you are not focused, still your motorcycle will look for a ditch.

On the hillside there is a resort hotel where the rooms line upwards there is also a Spa service in this hotel, I forgot the name of the hotel but if I remember I will update again.

After this the view of the beach will be covered by trees we will across the Setangi village and we can still see Teluq Nara harbor, it is clear that boats and boats are scattered, not to mention the various types of speed boats parked at this location.

Boulders on the Semeti Coast are Like Temples

Semeti Rock Beach

In the last few years, many new things can be exposed quickly because the role of information technology supported by the app of smart phones with the Android application to the locations of tourist objects that were previously only known by a few people.

Now very quickly spread the location of an object if every visitor took a picture and then posted on social media, especially Facebook, I honestly first knew Semeti beach from Facebook media posted by friends from touring motorbike clubs based in the city of Mataram, this could be considered as an axis that invites people people to visit this location.

Photos to the beach of Mawi from Semeti

I didn’t think the location of Semeti beach was far from the location that I had visited twice, namely the Mawi beach which was included in the Selong belanak village area.

Pujut sub district, it’s just that the path to Semeti beach is not formed like the road that is often passed by motorized vehicles.

Just like the traffic of cattle, buffalo or cattle so even though I have seen this path but I am reluctant to find out what’s up at the end of this lane. If you have just arrived at the location of a very small motorbike or car park.

Semeti beach looks not much different from Mawi beach (the same but not the same) the entrance to Semeti beach location is still one gate and can go to Selong belanak beach along the coastline but the road this is only a dirt road at any time can be muddy and muddy.

After visiting Semeti beach, you can also visit Seger beach, if at noon it will definitely be better than this.

In the last few years, Semeti beach has been very busy posted on Instagram, so many curious young people want to visit Semeti beach.

Especially because its amazing beauty is that rock is carved by the waves to resemble a temple stone like we see the Prambanan temple.

From a distance in silhouettes, sorry maybe this is the language of sarcastic which is less close but the fragments of stone texture are formed like temples which are continuously struck by the hardness of the waves.

That make up this location until it looks very beautiful and looks unique, especially photography experts know from which side capture capture the art of photography because this location is quite wide and there are many nice angles for shooting.

Before going down to Semeti beach, we can take a photo of the beach next to it, namely Selong Belanak beach.

Not only this location alone can be used as an object for photography if you are on the top of a rock on Semeti beach when you aim the object towards Mawi beach or Selong Belanak beach.

Also displays very good results by displaying rock hills far away which looks blurred in gray and clear sea water and the waves.

That carve blue seas become beautiful like naturalist paintings. Be careful here with your camera or smart phone, besides you will likely slip until your cellphone crashes.

The waves at this location are so loud that it will make the blow up the water allow you to wet or the camera is exposed to sea water which must be dangerous because it contains salt substance.

In addition to this location, there were victims of lovers who were visiting this location when they tried to self y on the rock, the woman slipped into the water, probably hit by a rock, then the boy who wanted to save the lover also fell and was dragged by the waves up to the second he died.

Friends who took part in the trip reported to the incident and that day the body of the woman could be found while the men were found later on. This unfortunate event occurred on January 16, 2018, was a resident of the village of Kawo district. Central Lombok, for this reason we take lessons to be more careful here.

Well if the weather is sunny, the exact appearance of Semeti beach will be even better.

You need to be careful to explore this location, you really need dexterity to get through difficult terrain and I suggest only for young people.

For the elderly (elderly) do not because they have to work on rock cliffs and walk squatting to get through some of the lush Spiny bushes and paths are only small paths.

In addition, in this location, many crab-type marine animals that invite attention into the cracks of rock that are hit by waves, seagulls are quite crowded adorning this location flying while thrusting all their bodies into the water.

To get fish there are even some that seen perched on rock other than that have you ever heard of Lombok with pepper sand? Please for those who want to collect just with Aqua bottles you can take in front of the beach the location of Semeti beach parking.

It should be taken into account if during the rainy season to visit the beach Semeti the car will move like an eel

Now suggesting Semeti beach? Let’s to Lombok comes to this place on the south coast of Lombok island, Pujut sub-district, Central Lombok district, just schedule your chance to visit Lombok.

Contact the author of this blog, we will design your arrival plan during Lombok to check out the airport and send an itinerary via email.

I suggest Don’t come in the rainy season because access to this road will become a muddy field and it’s very difficult to get through the terrain to the Semeti beach location or other alternative.

If you really like to walk the vehicle we will park in a safe location of mud and then we walk as far as 1 km right?

I have to struggle a little towards this location because many Malaysian tourists have visited this location they know this location information because they also read blogs about this beautiful Semeti beach.

Selong Belanak Most Beautiful Beach On The Island Of Lombok

pantai terindah di lombok

Selong Belanak Beach

Selong Belanak Beach is a line of beaches lined up very beautifully adjacent to the other beaches, lined up from the east from Kuta beach to the west in a row namely Areguling Beach, Mawun beach, Tepar beach, Semeti beach, Mawi Beach then Selong beach Belanak, speaking of the beauty of this beach, is a little better in my opinion compared to Kuta beach because Selong Belanak beach is a very beautiful bay decorated with cliffs and green hills along the eyes.

selong belanak
Selong Belanak beach

Selong Belanak is decorated with a number of green hilly islands in the middle of far from the beach which adorn this location, Selong Belanak beach is not supported by many accommodation facilities, only the only hotel that operates there, Sempiak hotel which can also use the hotel parking lot to park the vehicle because the hotel hopes from every visitor to eat at the hotel restaurant. This time there is already a hotel and several restaurants around the bay of Selong Belanak and on the hill far from the beach like the Selong Selo hotel

Selong belanak beach
Selong Belanak south beach taken from Sempiak hotel

Previously the Selong Belanak beach was only popular for tourists who like surfing because the waves of Selong Belanak have high and long scrolls but it is a pity that the local community is less concerned about the cleanliness of the beach (first) even though we enter the area with a Rp 5,000 entrance ticket motorbikes, but individual guards only take money without giving away tickets at that time, meaning that the entrance fee is only for personal use not to be used to repair public facilities.
Currently the beach of Selong Belanak has changed a lot, it seems that there has been some land belonging to private resorts, because we cannot see the Selong Belanak beach from afar, now we have to enter the hallway to the beach with a fairly high wall with concrete fences, enter through the aisle by crossing the parking lot, not far from the beach there are paid public toilets with construction such as emergency buildings in the city by utilizing used containers as construction materials.

A common sight on the beach of Selong Belanak

In the coastal area besides we can relax around there are stalls where order coffee, ice coconut, snacks and others here also you can get a surf guide if you want to be escorted when surfing as well as can be taught his theories and tell the situation of the region the surrounding concerns the affairs of the waves but very rarely do people need their services.

I once talked with local residents who claimed to be surf guides, while looking at the ocean by narrowing their eyes, he complained about the lack of tourists visiting Selong Belanak beach (at that time) just tired of wishing from year to year like this there was no change he said, that back when I asked a few years ago but now visitors who come to the Selong Belanak beach seem to have risen and the beach is already clean, it seems that it has been coordinated by the area manager.

best beach in lombok
The stretch of white sand of Selong Belanak beach is very wide and flat

Besides not far from Selong Belanak beach, there is Semeti beach, which only needs to walk or drive 3 km to the east, Semeti beach is very popular with backpackers because I often monitor through Instagram media among young people who like to walk on posts his self-styled style at the edge of a steep rock on Semeti beach.
It is undeniable that Semeti beach has a very fantastic form for taking photographs because this beach consists of chunks of rock which are hit by waves and are unique to the rocks that soar around the coast so that the waves coming from the sea will enter and be confined by the steep rocks on Semeti beach.

selong selo hotel
Selong Belanak Bay from Selong Selo hotel

Then how do we get to Selong Belanak beach? if from the direction of the city of Mataram it seems very easy, just follow the path to the direction of Lombok International airport, at the intersection of Penujuak village there is a large mosque on the corner of the highway then turn right by turning a little far away, then you will find the traditional Penujak market turning the first asphalt road towards the Pengga dam, then after passing the market there is a bridge with Australian steel construction after turning right and continuing straight to the south, don’t turn, the road is relatively quiet, dominated by agricultural crops, usually corn, rice or tobacco.

sempiak beach
Selong Belanak Beach from the Sempiak hotel parking lot

Before approaching the direction of the beach location of Selong Belanak the road will feel uphill and winding until later the beach of Selong Belanak will appear from above the height with its beautiful charm, there is a point of view on the right side of the road which is clearly visible to the vehicle, never there is a parking fee here, between 5 and 10 minutes here we go down as far as 4 km with the longest derivative road conditions and and if turned around it will be the highest climb on Lombok. If you have reached the bottom at the fork in the road you turn right 500 meters to the beach.

Head to Pink Beach by Land Or Sea Option To Reach Pink Beach

pink beach Lombok

Pink Beach

This beach is actually called the Tangsi beach, but because the pink sand is better known as the pink beach which is located in Sekaroh village, Jerowaru sub-district, East Lombok regency and is a row of steeply lined beaches and beautiful creeks which are still adjacent to the Tanjung Ringgit beach. 2 km only, Tanjung Bloam Beach 2 km.

Pink beach South East of Lombok

In the past, 15 km west of the coast of Heaven, bay of Ekas from here we could still see the mainland of Sumbawa island in the east of the island of Lombok.

The location of the pink beach from Mataram city 76 km from the town of Jerowaru Waru sub-district road access was still good 5 km of damaged roads not paved and a lot of hardening stones for loose roads.

Gravel constellations Travel or travel services are reluctant to go to this place because the terrain is very unfit and comfortable to travel.

At certain times in the wind and ocean currents that make this place a lot of rubbish here and it is unfortunate that the parties are not responsive to immediately cleaning the beach in this area there are no more restaurants, there are only many sellers who sell rice packs or rice stalls.

There are several gazebos on the beach location, but 15,000 / group charge if we use this facility

If you want to eat at the restaurant, you can go to the Jeva Bloam hotel which is not too far from the pink beach location while visiting Bloam Batu, the view is very good for photography but no one can enter because it has become a resort hotel area.

Enter by registering with the hotel security guard, which is IDR 500,000 / person for lunch packages and can be used for all hotel resorts and Bloam Batu or IDR 150,000 / person just to see the Jeva Bloam resort hotel and only be given soft drinks.

Pink Beach before dusk comes

The pink beach actually consists of 3 locations around the coast of Tangsi which is located in the bay area which is behind the hill which is seen from the main beach and there is another side called Segui beach but already far away.

The pink beach object is not too interesting if not want to explore to climb to the top of the hillside which can be seen from the pink beach just about 200 meters to the left and then up to the cliff.

Bloam Stone

There will be a stunning view of the beach including the beach bay next to it which is also pink in addition to the visible cliffs eroded abrasion and appear not far away from there, 3 gillies lined up beautifully.

Gili Petelu the location of snorkeling is very good because it is not too deep and can still seen a very good coral reef from the top of the boat trip.

If the air feels hot or rainy in the pink beach area there are 5 paruga or gazebos lined with shelter to take shelter but in a place in the upper corner there is a writing of IDR 15,000 / week to do this place .

We can find other Pink beaches if we visit via the Sea

But we will not pay a visit to the beach next to it, namely Tanjung Ringgit beach, which is only 2 km from the pink beach, here besides seeing beautiful coastal scenery, you can also visit Japanese heritage sites and other places of Japanese soldiers from the parking lot.

There are road directions that are only painted on a wall, namely: 300 M to Japanese Cannon and 500 M to Japanese cave but if you use a motorcycle, you can enter but watch out.

Tanjung Ringgit, before dusk comes

The terrain is rock limestone and pumice stone, it must be slow because there are many holes and clumps of rock that are most often used to make the front wheels.

Here high-rise beaches will look interesting and good for photos besides the mountain silhouette on the island of Sumbawa looks beautiful from a distance, the atmosphere of silence and calm only sounded quite strong wind but it didn’t matter because it was very hot by the hot sun so the wind was very needed.

Well, there are 2 Gilis that we can stop if we come via the sea

In addition there are other alternatives to get to the Pink beach by sea, namely by using a small-engine motorized boat with a capacity of 10-20 pasenger.

That we can pass through Telong-elong port or Tanjung port with a length of travel of more than 1 hour, but This trip does not have to go directly to the pink beach.

Because it would be great if we stopped at many choices of places here. From here we can visit pink islands and many more.

On Gili Marengke that looks unique from a distance because this fishing village is supported by a power plant from PT. PLN, which saw many air poles embedded in the air and electric wires protecting the Mariler islands or Gili Marengke to call the small island by the people of Lombok.

If we visit the Pink beach via the Sea then we will stop for a moment on Gili Pasir

Besides that, there is a sand island that is very famous now, namely low tide air compilation will appear.

It looks beautiful for us to take a photo in the middle of a white sand island, besides that there is a flagpole embedded from bamboo which currently has a blurred and torn red flag. – torn in the wind this place is not far from Gili Marengke just need to move a little with fig.

We can also stop on a small island called Gili Petelu or Gili 3 because there are 3 small islands not far from the Pink beach
Now here we are at Gili Petelu, from here it looks Pink beach but it’s not clear

Penyisok Beach & Lingkoq Datu Cliffs In East Side Shore

Lingkoq Datu Cliffs

Lingkoq Datu Cliff, where is it…? Hi guys, how are you? I hope you are in a good state, so do we and we are all in good health, of course this is a pleasure that we never realized that health exceeds the abundant wealth we have, we can imagine if we are in abundant fortune but we are not in a state of physical health.

Surely all the possessions that we have will we drain for medical needs in the name of healthy, so let’s be thankful for the little things as long as we remain in a state of physical health of course.

Oops !!! sorry, is this actually opening “speech” or want to sell medicine? Hehehe…!!! Once again sorry, there is nothing wrong if we remind each other for health.

Lingkoq Datu
Lingkoq Nine or vagina well, Because it is considered to resemble a Vagina

OK, thank you for opening this blog, and I know what information you want to get here Lingkoq Datu Cliff, of course you want to know where is the cliff “Lingkok Datu right?

Before we go to the main topic to discuss the location of the Lingkoq Datu cliff natural park which said this person is a tourist location that is not “main stream” or anti main stream.

Of course “Main stream that is meant here is, tourist destinations that are already known by people in general or the tourist location-that’s all or tourist attractions commonly known to people- people in general or just translate it alone means yes, you like it already because of the problem of English translation I prefer to guess the mix of instinct.

What if your version. “it’s up to you, if you say Javanese. Now I guess again the language is right, so we emphasize the word “anti” which means no, so the location of the tourist attraction “Lingkok Datu cliff is not a common tourist location that means, so if you traveling to this place means very different or other than others.

old mosque Lingkoq Datu
If you come with a four-wheeled vehicle park around this mosque then walk as far as about 1 km straight follow the path do not turn left.

From my habit of guessing sometimes I often misinterpret the meaning of words, including the word Lingkok Datu which in the language of the Sasak Lombok tribe “Lingkoq” means well and “Datu” means ruler or government.

The word Datu is more popular during the kingdom or in the past in Lombok to “Lingkoq Datu” can be interpreted as a well owned by the royal government, even though it was not in the days of the kingdom remote people in Lombok still used Datu’s words to refer to the government.

“So I initially, assumed the word Lingkok Datu was the word Kingdom to refer to its location majestic spacious and large, so if people come to the cliffs look down like people see a well and this is a royal well until the local people give it the name with the title “Lingkok Datu (royal well), because of the magnificent things will be symbolized by words that are respectable or elegant.

Lingkoq Datu area
This is my full box motorbike also up to the top of the cliff, the side box is full of cold drinks because we are preparing to get the heat on the site.

Apparently, my assumption was wrong after I came to the location and wanted to know the location of the Lingkoq Datu cliff turned out to be 1 km before entering the cliff site there were many Lingkoq or wells made by Datu or the government which numbered nine wells for the purpose of taking drinking water for buffaloes and cows.

The water is a little brackish because it is not too far from the beach, coincidentally not far from the location where we stand a lot, especially with cows under a shady Sengon tree, this is a statement from one of the people we found on the location, I don’t know exactly well keeper or shepherd.

Why do I say that because there are two wells lined by logs in one location which is approximately two acres wide and there are 2 large paruga, said the 65-year-old old man who just woke up from his sleep in gazebo in around this location.

There were nine wells scattered not far from the location of the main well which was lined with these logs, in other places there were some that had been stockpiled as well, he said. Then I asked again, why are these two wells being sacred with some people sir “I asked, he said there were oddities from these two wells.

The one was named the “Mame” or Male well and the other was named “Sumur Nine” or (female ) while I observed the location around there were potpourri from the pilgrims that still smelled of animism.

Other in the area
The beach is white sand but not too wide and seems to be rarely visited

It turned out that the more interesting the question, I asked again why was that name given, there was a Mame (male) well and a Nine well (female) ?

Yes, what is strange in this Nine well or the women’s well is a well that cannot be rounded when it is made or when dug to be given a round shape.

Until Tuan Guru (pastor) also witnessed the making of this well, it turns out that this one who can’t round him said, and this resembles a woman’s pub, sir ?

I stressed, he said yes. “In my heart I said yes it’s natural because the soil structure consists of rocky soil mixed with rocky soil.

This lump of rock must be sorted out, because the rock separates hard to form a structure with its own shape and the chunks of stone when removed are the easiest to form an oval and slightly pointed on one side to resemble a female vagina so that people around call it a well “Paws or Vaginal wells.

Ah, you know, I’m the basic guess worker. So, where did the name Lingkoq Datau come from? The Sekaroh villagers are only some people who know the term Lingkok Datu cliff but generally if you want to go to this location, people people are more familiar with the Penyisok beach.

I know again because not far from the shoreline there is a rainwater swamp that was dry at that time and the local people must often look for snails there because Sisok in Lombok means Snail.

Lingkoq Datu Cliff
We can still carry motorbikes to approach the Lingkoq datu cliff location.

Access to this location from the city of Mataram is still one lane with the aim to go to Pink beach just the same way on the Aro Inaq rural village.

The road to Pink beach must walk straight and lean towards the left while the path leading to Lingkoq Datu turns right at the hamlet fork ” Aro Inaq “with the characteristics of a transmigration settlement, the Aro Inaq rural village is very easy for you to recognize.

If you have ever been to Pink Beach, pay attention to the asphalt road, from the cut off asphalt road, about 3 km, continue to Pink beach turn right at the location of the transmigration settlement but do not forget to make sure you have lots of people constantly because you will be a little confused with the access to the beach.

Pay attention to the big road that can be traversed by the car but the condition is more damaged by the road the transmigration settlement boundary after that dusty road if it’s rainy season is sure this road will be slippery when viewed from the soil structure containing clay.

The location on Kaliantan beach, is still less well known to the city community, so that less visitors come to this location.

With this condition I am sure you will continue to stray if you do not diligently ask the locals, the local people look very good, friendly and always look excited showing the location of Penyisok beach.

So if it is still far before approaching the circle location, I suggest you ask where is the optician beach location because the name of the browser is better known as “ask” or ask both of them.

The location characteristics if you want to find a Prisoner of the mosque which looks old-fashioned which is not yet made, in this mosque there is a narrow left and can not enter the car straight with the characteristics of the Sengon tree lush and this is the road to the Lingkoq Datu beach.

At that time we were fooled by the width of the road and we turned left, if you came by car, park around this rock-walled mosque, lots of roomy locations but no shady places, when we turned left following the big road because there the four-wheeled vehicle just came out of the road.

The location we were aiming for seemed to be thudding as in the pictures until we were even more eager to be sure and finally circling on the hill like an overheating worm and finally we had to lower the ego to turn to the hut We passed by someone who was seen in the hut.

Then we went there to ask, when arrived at the hut came out a hooded mother with a very friendly welcome, I noticed you were passing by and I am sure you were wrong the way she added.

Lingkoq Datu of road
The path to the location is still a rocky land line.

Oh yes, we want to go to Lingkok Datu cliff madame, that’s where, said Mr. Helmi Subhan, who I was behind, the mother said, oh my God, if there was a road there, it was deadlocked when I pointed there.

Pointing to the rocky hill where we were circling earlier We went through this, pointing towards the Sengon tree again, the location was there, there was a small entrance, said the middle-aged mother.

“We also said goodbye, and thanked this friendly mother and then crossed the path.

Not infrequently our motorbikes ran aground in the dry rice field and on the wheels of my motorbike there were a lot of thorny bushes wrapped around the front wheels.

Even after arriving at the shady Sengon tree we were still confused and this was wrong for many times so my experience was enough to be a lesson because if I explain how many times wrong it seems it will frighten you to come here and finally we also have to take shelter and drink immediately.

The throat really feels thirsty, we see Gazebo seems right for resting at this location we met the old man 65 years as I mentioned above, so it seems like the mother showed us the location to the location of the well called Lingkoq Datu instead of showing us the location of the cliff we are looking for or what we are heading for.

My motor bike
As a result of the path of bushes of thorns, they also wrapped around the motorbike wheels.

After we finished chatting with the old man, we were also directed to follow two small children riding a motorcycle carrying water with a hallmark in one of the nine wells.

“After we passed, finally we saw the presence of some wells mentioned by the old man, sorry we forgot to ask the name of the father that.

Then we followed in the footsteps of the motorbike motorbike races which were not too often passed, then after we arrived at Penyisok beach to take pictures.

It was very unpleasant because there were a lot of rubbish sent from the river, then we struggled to control the motorbike to climb up the thick hills and in the end it was fun because the location we were heading to had met. We had to log on the cliff and we share it on YouTube.

You can watch it with a search with the title LINGKOQ THE COOL BEACH IN LOMBOK, after we finish here we return with another destination towards Cemara beach in Seriwe hamlet which is still adjacent to Kaliantan beach but we had to turn back towards the village in Aro Inaq hamlet until we ran the asphalt again for 3 km and turned left towards Kaliantan beach.

Kuta economy zone
The action paid for stress on Kuta beach, because to find Lingkoq Datu really had to struggle.

Before arriving at Kaliantan beach, we relax first on Cemara beach for a while, enjoying the wind and the sounds of the birds perched on the pine trees, which we certainly are hungry.

In the vicinity of the location there are no stalls or restaurants, finally we only eat the snacks we bought at Alfamart before, before leaving we had a chance to take pictures on Cemara beach and then visit Kaliantan beach which is not far from Cemara beach about less than 2 km.

After that we went home happily through the alternative route to Kuta beach because we wanted to know to what extent the development of the Special Economic Zone (SEZ), the lane was very quiet from motorized traffic.

So we enjoyed the trip because it crossed the Ekas bay and Awang bay until arriving at Kuta beach it was already around 5 o’clock in the afternoon and we were only here for an hour.

The Paving Blog installation project was running and the atmosphere was still a bit chaotic and it was finished here finally we paid Rp 5,000 parking / motorbike then Bye Bye THE MANDALIKA.
