Likewise, in Lombok there is a landmark building which is a building of a mosque that is being built very large (Lombok Landmark) which has been running from 2009 until now is still in the process of approximately 75% physical construction.
Which seems to have finished the construction phase of the dome and several towers because this mosque will be facilitated by the construction of the university which is one in the mosque’s courtyard.
The construction of this mosque is located in the heart of Mataram which is well known by the nickname 1,000 mosques and mosques which are the mains of mosques in Lombok and the names are not mentioned as other mosques are simply called “ISLAMIC CENTER MOSQUE” of course if In terms of the name.
This mosque will be of international standard and surely the students who will study at this university will consist of students from abroad. But recently there is another name besides the Islamic Center, the Great Hubbul Watahan mosque which means Love of the Motherland.
The construction of this mosque is Lombok Landmark sure to engulf the NTB provincial government budget because at the stage of construction it frees KONI Field, Mataram 6 Junior High School, the plantation office, the fisheries office and will follow the market of Dasan Agung Village which is still active as usual. northward. Udayana, eastward Jln. Pejanggik, to the south. Erlangga and to the west Jln. Langko the position of this mosque is located on the corner between Udayana and Langko roads.
This mosque is Lombok Landmark, The initiator of the construction of this mosque is the Governor of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Dr. KH. Muhammad Zainul Majdi M.A. or better known as TGB (Tuan Guru Bajang) Pouring Teachers in Lombok means that Kiyai and Bajang means that in Lombok language is young, which has taken office since September 8, 2008 until now.
It was the second term of office and his representative in the first period was Mr. Ir. Badrul Munir period (2008 – 2013) the figure of the governor was the grandson of the founding figure NW (Nahdatul Waton) of the great or famous cleric in Lombok. TGH. M. Zainuddin Abdul Madjid, as governor who graduated in Egypt.
Took part in politics from the Bulan Bintang party and finally moved to the Democratic party which is still in office, the second period representative is Ir. Muhammad Amin and once received the title of the youngest governor in Indonesia who was elected since the age of 36 year old
The source of funds for financing the construction of the Islamic Center mosque also involved donations from the salaries of civil servants in the NTB province cut shortly as participation in charity, worship and building for the benefit of the community because the majority of almost 90% of the population of NTB province are Muslims.
Who has a characteristic lifestyle of people who are very religious to the island of Lombok is well known by the nickname 1,000 mosques because it is proven when you arrive in Lombok you will find many mosques lined up along the road with a distance that is close to the physical building which is very large on average, then how to can this be the case?

In Lombok, the community prioritizes mosque buildings rather than house buildings, even though the income of the per person community is still relatively low compared to other areas and it is highly unethical by the rich people.
To build houses higher than mosque buildings, you can see a thousand mosque monuments when you Lombok airport drives to the city of Mataram where it is exactly at the intersection of a statue of a cow in Gerung sub-district, West Lombok district, right in the middle of the roundabout.
Recently on July 30 2016 Hubbul Wathan mosqe was trusted as the venue for the 26th national MTQ and this series of grand events was opened by President Joko Widodo and of course this atmosphere was very warmly welcomed by the people of Lombok in particular and by the people of NTB In general.
The presence of caravans from various regions greatly made the atmosphere of Mataram city suddenly colored and the committee had anticipated everything to avoid congestion so that the implementation of MTQ was as expected.
Until finally the implementation was successful because there were no obstacles and symptoms that we did not want, implementation the competition consists of many categories but sorry the details I do not understand for that if you want to know more please ask Google.
The mosque building consists of a 3-store core building, the first floor is a 4-wheeled vehicle parking space, the second floor is for the pilgrims’ room and the top floor is for women worshipers.
There are two escalators connecting the first floor to the third floor. Tiong Hoa ethnic Muslims outside the core courtyard, in addition to the core courtyard there is a page of mosque which is 2 meters higher than the outside courtyard of the mosque.
There are 5 mosque towers, one of which is the highest located in the middle of the 99 meter high entrance as a symbol of “Asmaulhusna, location The highest tower is used for religious tourism.
Visitors can enter the tower by paying Rp. 5,000 / person for a ride using the elevator donated by the Batu Hijau gold mining company on Sumbawa island PT. New Month other than that the building consists of a landscape courtyard which is part of the garden which is in the process of paving and arranging flowers and there is a fountain in the corner of the building.
Sembalun valley District geographically has its own uniqueness which is located at an altitude not far from the slopes of Mount Rinjani on the Sembalun valley surrounded by rocky hills which are overgrown with shrubs and grasses with altitudes of up to thousands of meters.
The Sembalun land is at an elevation between 800 m elevation – 1,100 m elevation that enters in the area of East Lombok regency with an area of 217.8 sq km and an estimated population of around 20,000 people quoted from Wikipedia which is less than 100 km from the city of Mataram if we come from the direction of Central Lombok district.
sembalun valley district
Looks like the Pergasingan hill from the main road
Previously Sembalun sub-district was still part of Aikmel sub-district, East Lombok district, but after the area Expansion occurred, Sembalun had become a sub-district directly adjacent to North Lombok regency, Bayan sub district, separated by streams formed by overflowing lakes “Fresh Children” in the crater of Mount Rinjani which formed several waterfalls which are now the target of travelers.
Rinjani from Lelongken hamlet, Sajang village of Sembalun
Visitors mostly from Mataram city residents or Lombok residents in particular and the traveler archipelago in general are: Penimbung waterfall, Mangku Sakti waterfall, Mangku Kodek waterfall, Kuda Sembrani waterfall, Mayung Putek waterfall, Madu waterfall, Umar waterfall Maya and will follow the new names again considering this can happen after many visitors come and names will be made soon, a series of waterfalls are in the village of Sajang and the village of Bilok Petung, Sembalun district.
Sembalun Sub district from the top of the Pergasingan hill
Sembalun has a flat land contour and is walled by steep rocky hills that are overgrown with green grass and the plain below is a very fertile rice field which is generally planted with tubers such as potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes and others. Also grains such as corn, beans, winged beans and others, tomato vegetables and others are very fertile on this land, especially this location was once known as a producer of garlic and shallots until later on the main road you can see a 5 meter high garlic monument.
Village In sembalun Valley district
Sembalun Sub district consists of several villages which have recently been expanded up to 6 villages namely: Sembalun Bumbung village, Sembalun village, Timbak Gading village, Sembalun Lawang village, Sajang village and the northernmost village of Bilok Petung or bordering the sea and its plain lowest.
Mangku sakti Waterfall in Sajang village
Sembalun has a vast savanna that ends at the foot of the slopes of Mount Rinjani, some of this land is used as a land for agribusiness projects that appear strikingly visible in the village of Sembalun Lawang with its many transparent tents or green houses lined up to cover hundreds of hectares.
Administered by PT. Sampoerna and now the local people call it the SKE project without them knowing the abbreviation of the abbreviation SKE (Sembalun Kesuna Emas) “kesuna in the Sasak language, the meaning of garlic.
Mount Rinjani from the Selong hill in Sembalun
As for commodities from agro-business, this is a superior crop that is not commonly grown on land in general, including: melon plants, strawberry, apples and root tubers such as potatoes, carrots and tree tubers such as eggplants, tomatoes, paprika and others.
This project is supported by an irrigation system that is obtained from groundwater by being pumped with a well bore support system and placed like a pool of stagnant water such as a pond which is very striking if we look from above the Rinjani climbing court via Sembalun.
Pergasingan hill Sloop
Sembalun now appears to be progressing step by step since it was made as the entrance to mount Rinjani climbing which has stood for a long time and has an office as a place to register and reserve every climber who wants to do trekking to the summit of Mount Rinjani or travel to Segara Anak lake.
Hotel in sembalun Valley
Already many of the hotels built are even one-star “Pesona Rinjani” just on the main road which is only 3.5 meters wide and facing towards Mount Rinjani.
Not far from there Rudy ’s is in the process of working and is about to finish, Sembalun Agro villa, Rinjani Garden, Lembah Rinjani, Nauli Bungalow (long time) Rinjani Family and even the old ones like Cemarasiu and many more and there are also lodging which costs under 100,000 / night.
Almost all lodging is located in Sembalun valley between Sembalun Lawang and Sembalun Bumbung which are sporadically separated. Besides that there are now many ATM units that are spread between Sembalun Bumbung and Sembalun Lawang, there are already BNI ATMs in several places, Mandiri ATMs and BRI ATMs which are located not far from the Rinjani Geo park gate.
Expanse of rice fields from Bukit Selong
As for other interesting things in Sembalun sub-district apart from the cold temperatures because it is at an altitude are the hills around it which surround the valley of Sembalun sub-district.
Which is currently very regularly visited especially every school holiday by young Lombok people who adventurous including there are some access to go up to the surrounding hills, namely: Pergasingan hill, Selong hill, Nanggi hill, Anak Dara hill, Dandaun hill and Berugak hill.
Looks at the Selong hill and the peak is the Anak Dara hill
All of these hills are now the object of camping ground location or camping location and if you want to be more special, you can organize camping trips in this location so you don’t have to bother carrying camping equipment.
Everything is provided, you just need energy to go up to up the hill up to 2.5 hours of climbing to get to the top of Pergasingan hill for example with an altitude of 1,700 m Elevation and can enjoy the coolness of the cold night befriend flashing stars above the sky.
Towards the morning on these hills we will be able to see the exoticism of the sun’s rays illuminating the valley of Sembalun from above the altitude seen by the houses in groups.
Especially the rice fields that look very unique in the form of boxes like green, yellow and brown carpet which is currently busy posted on Instagram and Facebook by nature lovers from outside the Lombok region.
Settlers in Sembalun have not been able to compensate for the smooth construction of the current asphalt road
As for the development at the end of 2017 the paving work for cross section has been widened by a width of 6 meters with road markings that are still very new, traffic signs strongly support the widening of this road.
The quality of pavement is inversely proportional to the conditions of settlers on the sidewalk, quality road violence is not inferior to the district capital.
There are only a lot of large domed mosques that are able to match the quality of this road violence, unfortunately this wide road violence can only temporarily reach Sembalun Lawang not yet reached Sajang and Bilok Petung villages, it seems all the roads in Sembalun sub-district will be the same, just waiting for the APBD budget to be able to continue.
Pergasingan hill from the Selong hill
Besides that, the gate to Sembalun, Pusuk Pass, is in the process of clamping the cliffs with a very large volume of excavation because this work is forced to dig very high cliffs.
Landslides are very frequent in this location and very often close the road during the rainy season. in addition.
The road packing work can increase the width of the road from the previous one which is very narrow, which is certain until now there has never been a bus with a capacity of 25 passengers that can pass at this location, because the road is very narrow and the incline is too steep.
Recently happened, this morning on July 29, 2018, the 6.4 SR earthquake in Sembalun centered in North Lombok which claimed 2 victims in Sembalun one of them was Malaysian while in another place in Sambelia sub-district there were 10 victims.
On Mount Rinjani on the lake “Segara Anak” an ongoing evacuation of rescue climbers is estimated to number 300 people trapped by landslides due to the effects of shaking to accumulate a closed climbing trail.

Bamboo crafts in general may not be much different from those found in other places in the archipelago, but maybe there will be some models of models in each region. Then what about bamboo crafts in Gunungsari district?
Gunungsari sub-district is included in the district of West Lombok which is not far from the city of Mataram if it is estimated from the border gate of Mataram city to go to the location of the craftsmanship only about less than 2 km, exactly on the road leading to North Lombok regency.
Traffic conditions on the main road of Gunungsari Subdistrict, Mambalan village
Very transparent seen on the edge of the road to over with a variety of models and types of woven bamboo that can be bought directly or by ordering it in several craft shops ranging from beds, korsi, tables.
Types of types of household furniture baskets and very many kinds other types, but there is a more prominent one specifically that is the making of Berugak if in the Sasak language or the gazebo if called in English.
Various kinds and types of bamboo and rattan crafts in Gunungsari
Gunungsari District has a wide area if we talk about the location of the craftsmen as we intended, so the location of the Gunungsari craftsmanship is only a small part of the area while Gunungsari covers almost all parts of the land below the hill which is clearly seen from the city of Mataram .
The atmosphere of the countryside still looks beautiful but lately a lot of property developers who developed their business into this area are understandable because the vast land has become increasingly narrow in the city of Mataram.
Gunungsari which was once known as the countryside but now has become an impromptu city especially in Sandik village, Classy housing loans are already high or have mushroomed, as well as the direction that leads to chaos, there are increasingly visible buildings for housing loans.
Merchandise is displayed very transparent on the side of the road
Sorry, we left the topic of handicrafts in Gunungsari a little, I myself have already carried out inspections including asking the shop owner, the prices of handicrafts here are still quite affordable if you are interested in buying them because the items on display are still manufactured goods behind the house or still the production of the surrounding village.
As for my neighbors who now move to live in Gunungsari sub-district in the “village of craftsmen, they often say about the condition of their neighboring craftsmen who in their sense (craftsmen) are paid very cheaply to work on a product that is very obscure that means on a second party or boss who has a shop.
The craftsman will not be too expensive to sell but the story will be very different if the third hand displays the work in the art shop or in the shop for tourists especially if those who will buy from foreign tourists surely the price will be more fantastic.
Bamboo woven artshop in Gunungsari
So if you are interested or fond of bamboo and rattan handicrafts, you should ask the driver to take you to the village of Mambalan Gunungsari where I mean craftsmanship, I think it is very easy if the driver is born in Lombok.
Especially the people of West Lombok or North Lombok because of the location of the craftsmen or the shop is located on the main road of West Lombok and North Lombok districts.
Exactly on the left and right side of the road it seems very clearly lined up about 300 meters long, it’s just that the space for the parking lot is very narrow while this lane is a traffic congested lane or maybe if you are just on vacation from Gili Trawangan to Lombok International Airport (BIL) you will definitely cross this road 3 km before arriving in the center of Mataram city.
“Of course, if there is an intention to stop at Gunungsari to see or want to buy this craft you have to allocate an hour or more and have to leave from Gili Trawangan early.
Gazebo size 2 x 2 m is displayed in the work shop
Back again we discuss about Berugak or Paruga or Gazebo specifically on the side, if the Lombok people themselves have the term for this, that is, as fast as if they are four-legged and the same as six-legged. Maybe this type has not been called part of the craft because the shape is large.
I consider it part of the construction because this type can be found throughout Indonesia or even throughout the world with the characteristics of differences in the shape of the carvings if the poles are engraved.
Gazebo a size of 1.5 x 2 meters in Gunungsari
Regarding the Berugak or gazebo, there are many places to make it in Gunungsari, if you see it in the art shop on the side of the road it means just an example.
Specifically the making of this Gazebo is inside or the paths that go in the village in many places with prices friendly with very good quality, if there is a very cheap price you need to suspect what wood they use.
Gazebo measures 2 X 2.5 meters which is set at Rp 6,500,000
If you come to this place, maybe you will be a little confused to find the location because the ones you know are the ones on the side of the road, because you might be from Central Lombok or East Lombok regency, please contact me later.
We can make an appointment to meet on the Udayana road and drive to the north for about 3 km, but don’t be suddenly, maybe I happen to have an event or something else, usually I am with tourists so tour guide but not too often, most of me home sometimes up to date this website.
There is a collection of gazebo with various sizes that are ready to be invited
So for the price of Berugak or Gazebo depends on the size and quality of the material or the type of material used, I just say it like the picture you see if the size of 2 x 2 meters will sell for Rp 5,000,000 and if the size is 2.5 x 3 The meter will sell for Rp. 6,500,000.
For other sizes you can expect it because there is a smaller size and there is even a bigger one than I have shown here, so this is a benchmark for analysis for other sizes because I did not have time to ask questions price for other sizes
In the work shop place is displayed all the place of purchase transactions
All Berugak or Gazebo prices are included with the roof and shipping costs in the city of Mataram and its surroundings if shipping is located far out of town there is a modest additional cost. There are two choices of roof that you can choose.
It can be with thatch roof or with tile roof depending on taste but if you use tile roofs you have to prepare sand and cement for installing roof tiles on the installation location, only this is not included. Well, if you don’t mind when installing for the artisan, you prepare coffee or tea.
Knowing regional cuisine, the place you visit has its own meaning after a day on the vehicle enjoying the natural scenery of Lombok when you are hungry, there may be a desire to know Lombok’s special dishes.
You can ask the driver what are the typical foods in Lombok and where to get them but heart heart for those who do not like spicy cuisine because Lombok people really like spicy spices especially very fond of raw chilli spices like Pelecing Kangkung.
Bumppo and sambel colet these three elements of food are very inseparable from the daily menu when eating, especially beberok and sambel colet but there is no absolute thing that is certain there are also Lombok people who do not like spicy seasoning but in this case we speak generally that Lombok people like spicy cuisine.
There are several types of Lombok cuisine that you should try such as: Taliwang grilled chicken, Puyung rice, Rarang rice, Rembiga satay, Tanjung satay, Bulayak, Pelecing Kangkung and Sayur Ares.
Sambal Beberok
Raw eggplants, raw long beans and raw onions seasoned with raw tomato sauce
Is a mixture of raw chili (approximately 12 seeds), shrimp paste, tomatoes, onions, salt, flavoring dishes (Sasa or Aji no Moto) and additional raw eggplant and long bean vegetables.
For this portion, usually for 1 or 2 people who present it when coincidentally there are no other side dishes (there is no money to buy) even this chili is enough to spend one plate of rice but if there is extra, it is suitable to be eaten with fried tofu, fried Tempe, crackers culture, and others.
Even though Lombok people have cooked other dishes with spicy ingredients such as stir-fried kale, young jackfruit vegetables, mustard greens, winged beans and others, although the ingredients are spicy, they have to be as much as possible.
This does not apply to all Lombok in general like that I often encounter there are even some Lombok people who don’t like raw souce, there are also Lombok people who don’t like spicy ingredients like one of my siblings is very anti-sambal.
Sambal Colet
The word plug indicates the index tip reaches the chili, is a mixture of raw chili (about 12 seeds), shrimp paste, salt and flavoring dishes such as (sasa and aji no moto) as much as possible there is five chili sauce is simpler than just a few tomatoes just the difference can be served without other side dishes as well as for the portion of spending one plate of rice but most suitable served with fried salted fish, fresh fried fish, fried anchovies and fried chicken.
Served when the rice is still in warm condition Both of the chili sauce above is a very basic food accompaniment menu in Lombok but when it comes to typical Lombok food that cannot be found in other areas namely; Taliwang grilled chicken, Pelecing kangkung, satay Bulayak, satay Tanjung, satay Rembiga.
Lombok pottery village is in Banyumulek a traditional village which is only a few kilometers from the city of Mataram (7 km) to the south, its territory is included in the district of West Lombok which has been known by the surrounding community as a pottery and pottery craftsman area.
These two words are pottery Lombok language and the word pottery is Indonesian but some argue that the designation of the pottery for the handicrafts of the land is then burned and then used for kitchen utensils.
For the Lombok pottery village designation, the results of the craft work are then burned for the purposes of ornaments or decorations such as pots, fast flowers, ashtrays, wall hangings, jars and so on.
OK, where the era before the expansion of tourism in Lombok the pottery craftsmen in Banyumulek village were only traditional craftsmen who made pottery with shapes and models according to the demands of the surrounding community for kitchen utensils such as: Jangkih or stove for cooking, Sigon or frying pan, Kemek or pan for cooking, kettles or Kocor for drinking, Bong or jug where you put water for bathing and washing your feet, Selao or a jug to hold water for cooking in the kitchen.
Banyumulek female pottery craftsmen who are always friendly
All production results are individual property which is done routinely every day by the people of Banyumulek village after they are finished and then marketed at the nearest traditional market or vendor to neighboring villages by using bicycle or carried or even marketing to the city of Mataram.
Such phenomena have passed swallow the period even though until now we still see some of the Banyumulek people still around who carry their handicrafts for sale offered door-to-door, especially like flower pots that have been finished in a more attractive form.
Pottery marketing to traditional villages
There are also some who bear flower pots with direct flowers but more often we see picking up with bicycle and now the pottery of Banyumulek village has shifted in function aka rising prestige not to be used as kitchen utensils or other household furniture.
Now the pottery of Banyumulek village has become a tourism consumption and is produced on a large scale followed by a model and design innovations that are quite enticing for travelers who come specifically to see the features and art displayed by Banyumulek village craftsmen.
Even enthusiasts many are ordered to be exported to developing countries, especially Europe and America, or you can say Banyumulek pottery “Go International.”
Banyumulek pottery for home and office interior needs
Of course what we mean is not pottery as sold in traditional markets, now the pottery of Banyumulek Village has been combined and developed into thousands of shapes, models and designs that are finished with various kinds of motifs with techniques combined with plaits.
Like thread but bigger but very tough and strong to weave.
After weaving on the outside of the pottery will be given varnish liquid or other liquid to give the impression of classics or old-fashioned, of course the model offered to the customer is more oriented to the needs for the interior and exterior of luxury homes, offices and so on that can be placed on the buffet.
In the corner of the house terrace or office, as a flat for wall decoration, there is also a place to place fruit, pan on a dining table and there is also a place to place candles and even electric lights to look unique.
The process of drying Pottery in front of the house
The pottery of Banyumulek village is now very developed to support tourism as a tourism destination for traditional Lombok handicrafts, especially for Europeans who really want to compare the technological era that developed in their country with a very basic and traditional production system.
Currently the availability of existing clay material matrices has become a new problem because of the large number of production requests because the demand not only from neighboring islands like Bali displays in art shops in Bali with a Balinese brand appearance even though the items come from Banyumulek village.
The availability of soil material must be purchased from other districts even from very remote locations in the Sekotong area to the manufacture of Pottery causing production costs to rise and the selling price to increase.
The process of pounding clay before sifting
Very often we hear pottery made from clay made by a process that is quite complicated and meticulous with the process by drying for weeks to produce good soil quality for the process of making pottery, pounding it until smooth then sifting, then deposited by giving water.
For a few days after that, then to the process of forming the model according to the desired shape or in accordance with the desired needs, then after that the results that have been formed are dried by means of aerated or in other words dried with no sun under a few days while preparing the burning process.
Place for burning Pottery or Pottery collectively
Using dry straw fuel, the burning process in Banyumulek village has been collectively placed in several places with buildings that have been provided by village officials supported by the tourism department.
For more details, let’s come to Banyumulek village to see first-hand the process of making it, so that you can see the finishing process in Banyumulek village, of course people are used to this kind of thing if someone or group who comes to visit this location, especially tourists who intentionally come want to see the process of making pottery, don’t hesitate to say hello, you can also ask the locals.
The atmosphere of the craftsmen’s activities worked in front of their homes
By exploring this simple village from door to door, almost every house works on making pottery, especially the forming process by turning a simple tool in which to put or sit the soil material to be used as a very simple manual machine.
Formed according to the desired demand or to set production, then after being formed it will be dried in front of the home page before proceeding to the combustion process, of course by taking into account the turn schedule because the combustion process is located far from the settlers so that hazard effects or combustion fumes can be avoided and used collectively in one place that has been determined by village officials.
Four Dutch tourists at Rismunika’s Work Shop
Then how do we go to Banyumulek village? certainly not difficult if you know Cakranegara at the intersection of the post Police take the path to the right if you come from the direction of the city of Mataram.
Passing through the NTB Provincial Hospital in the Cermen branch then will find the intersection still pass to the south until later there is another intersection in the middle there your jug or Pottery monument.
Turns to the right across the narrow asphalt lane in the Lelede village and then you will be greeted by the Welcome gate then there are some great art shops that have begun to appear “Rismunika” and some small art shops lined up to have art the shop is big enough but doesn’t look from the roadside like the art shop “Blessing of Patience.”
Alternatively you can also use airport lane access via Mataram with a benchmark at the intersection of the Hubull Watahan Mosque or the “Islamic Center” mosque to the south until it passes through the by pass to Lombok International Airport after passing two fly over.
There is a lane to the left but sir the driver must obey me. the condition of the craftsmen in Banyumulek village there are several craftsmen who sell to the local art shop with the form after being burned but not finished yet.
Warehouse for art shop of Berkat Sabar
