Saya Supardani lahir dan besar di Lombok, pariwisata bukan dasar pendidikan saya tapi pariwisata mendidik saya untuk terlibat menjadi bagian dari pelaku pariwisata. Pariwisata adalah sesuatu yang menyenangkan. Lahir di Mataram 10 Oktober 1973 tidak pernah belajar tentang pariwisata secara akdemis tapi tanpa belajar pariwisata mengajarkan saya secara otodidak. Pasti akan banyak kekurangan.
Tamat belajar hanya sampai tingkat SLTA, tamatan STMN Mataram jurusan bangunan dan pernah bekerja lama di bidang konstruksi. Akhirnya takluk untuk menjadi pelaku pariwisata. Pernah menjadi tour guide hanya bermodalkan bahasa Inggris pas-pasan, dari sinilah saya mengenal pariwisata lebih dekat dan hingga kini saya sudah banyak menulis blog tentang pariwisata, tentunya masih banyak kekurangan, berinovasi terus agar bisa melayani semakin baik kedepannya.
Baiklah para sobat traveler, kali ini saya sedikit akan mengulas tentang oleh-oleh khas Lombok, sesuai judul tema kali ini.
Sebenarnya inti dari pembahasan kita saat ini adalah jika Anda berada sedang berada di pulau Lombok entah dengan tujuan apa kemudian untuk mengisi waktu sebelum jadwal keberangkatan pesawat menuju kota asal Anda.
Agar tidak bengong dalam penantian yang kadang bikin bosan karena tidak tau harus mengerjakan apa.
Terutama dalam hal belanja oleh-oleh khas Lombok, ini akan saya tujukan untuk para wisatawan yang baru saja selesai dalam melaksanakan tour atau berwisata di Lombok.
Hal ini seperti kebiasaan para wisatawan sebelum menuju bandara BIZAM (Bandara Internasional Zainudin Abdul Majid) atau seperti biasa disebut BIL (Bandara Internasional Lombok).
Untuk mengisi waktu luang atau bisa juga sesuai jadwal atau sesuai itinerary yang sudah disebutkan dalam paket tour.
Dari ke 7 lokasi yang kami bagikan link nya tersebut tentu berjarak beberapa Km atau terpisah pada lokasi yang tidak bisa kami uraikan melalui google map.
Cuku anda bisa konsultasi kan ke pada kami agar bisa kami buat kan run down yang terarah dan jangan sampai anda kehilangan kontrol waktu check in di bandara.
Terutama sekali, mak mak kalau sudah belanja mutiara, biasanya pertimbangannya sangat lama. pengalaman kami pernah sampai batal membeli mutiara, pas sampai di bandara mereka berubah pikiran dan minta balik ke toko mutiara lagi.
Waktu sangat mepet dan menegang kan, mobil pun harus lari kebut kebut an dengan perasaan was-was. Suasana benar benar tegang, sebelumnya kami berwisata penuh dengan canda.
Walaupun sedikit tidak menyenangkan kami hanya diam, demi pelayanan dan harus balik ke kota Mataram lagi dengan rasa terpaksa. Kami hanya takut jika waktu check in tidak ter kejar.
Suasana menjadi tegang, tidak seperti sebelumnya kami banyak bercanda dan penuh tawa riang kali ini cuma bisa senyum terpaksa.
Kedis island or in the local language Kedis means small, indeed the size of the Gili or the island is very small, it is estimated to be around 10 acres which currently has gazebo facilities to relax, a simple prayer room, swings, bad sand and a canteen there too.
Where Kedis Island Is At
Gili Kedis is located on a group of islands in the waters of the West Sekotong sub-district which lined up adjacent to Gili Nanggu, Gili Tangkong and Gili Sudak on the south side just south of Gili Sudak, approximately 300 meters away, also on the south side of Gili Kedis close to the island mainland Lombok is approximately 1 km.
Gili Kedis is 100% white sand, on the southern side there are rocky rocks and there are lush trees, wild bushes in the central part of the island but nowadays it is more organized, this location is great for shooting or taking pictures because if we aim the camera at which direction it will be
There are many Star Fish on the island of Gili Kedis beach
Beautiful panorama, as if we were aiming northward to look like Gili Sudak, to the east there were green rocky hills if it was in the rainy season and it seemed dry if it had entered summer.
To the south there was the West Sekotong land with hilly contours the hill and seen a number of hotel resorts from a distance if we aim the camera to the west then that will be seen Gili Turtle from a distance with a shape like a giant turtle while Gili Nanggu is not visible because it is behind Gili Tangkong.
View to the east on Gili Kedis
The atmosphere of the water surface is very calm and shallow, until at low tide people often walk from the direction of Gili Sudak to the mainland of Lombok, with their feet dipped to their knees.
Usually crossing here employees working in restaurants on Gili Sudak if the water is in low tide and if not they will be seen using a small motorboat to pick up all the restaurant needs that are owned by one of the elders who have been in the world of tourism namely Mr. Awan Aswinabawan.
Mr. Awan who has high posture with slanted eyes indicating from Tiong Hoa , he is the owner of A & T Tour and Travel as well as all transport agent owners of Wahana Loka who are on the road to Adi Sucipto in Ampenan sub-district along with his newest office.
Foreign tourists who like Kedis island
The island of Gili Kedis looks like the heart of the symbol of Love seen from above
This small island is very idolized by tourists from Italy, France and the Netherlands because every time I guiding to this location there are always people from that country that I often bring, around the island there are very many Star Fish or Starfish stranded everywhere.
If the visitors who come to Gili Nanggu seem like this island must be visited as an extra destination because it is indeed a shame to miss it as the last destination.
Don’t forget to take pictures here because there are now worn the cost of a tourist entrance ticket on this island, then after that the Guide will invite you to return to the mainland to Tawun harbor, Cemara beach tour or to Lembar Harbor.
The Traditional village of Segenter, house has only recently been promoted to become a tourism destination area located in North Lombok district, precisely in the Bayan sub-district, which is a village below the slopes of Mount Rinjani which has land-based curls that are dry grasslands in the summer.
At the Begawe or their wedding party they cook in the courtyard and also see a large gazebo or “Sekenem” which means six-legged Saung
Certainly these features have rocky soil and rock beneath them and this is what happened when I visited this traditional house the air temperature was very hot and there were no parking spaces.
There were trees that shaded so I wanted to take shelter where, there were only a few shadows the name survived come that’s where I waited while I was called the local Guide who would invite us into the village.
Traditional village Segenter Situation
Shortly thereafter came a young man from Segenter village and invited us to go inside while looking at the village situation which impressed the life of the past due to the walls of all the houses constructed of wood and woven bamboo walls and thatched grass roofs.
In Segenter, there are also several houses that have been converted into walls and roof tiles also have buildings that are constructed of stone and cement which is a pool of community water reservoirs built by the government for Segenter villagers.
In the corner of this village with a rather broad collective cow stable belongs to the community of Segenter village.
Almost every house has a Saung or gazebo if it’s English but the Sasak people often call it as fast as (pole 4) Sekenem (pole 6) which is used by families to relax or a place to welcome guests.
Appears at that time in the middle of several pages Kendi, Kentong, The pan and others said they had just held a party for the wedding so they cooked for the party in the middle of the open courtyard without a roof that housed the cooks.
Segenter Traditional Village Community
Hospitality in Segenter village traditional house
Whenever we see grandmothers who chew betel nut sitting on the ground in front of their doorstep while sifting rice for cooking.
We are invited by the local Guide to enter one of the houses while explaining the situation and situation in the house, there is something unique to be listened to in the house.
There is a kind of house on stilts measuring only 2 x 2 meters, he said, the place for new brides means if there is one child from a newly married family, this is the place while others sleep around the place using a simple couch on the ground and not far from the corner this house has a family kitchen.
The place in the left hand of the Guide is a room for the bride during her honeymoon. The place in the Guide’s left hand is a room for the bride during her honeymoon
All of the tourists consisting of 4 foreigners I brought, each from different countries, France, England and 2 people from Denmark, really felt something different here, he said because they had previously visited traditional homes in other places. including in Malaysia, he said, but not like their experience here.
In traditional houses in other places they have visited, traditional houses appear, but many other modern things that appear to have been modern, he said, including in the house there are televisions and the residents wear Jean’s pants, he said.
They seemed satisfied with their visit to this place from time to time while they were cool while walking comparing the stories of each of their experiences elsewhere and after completion visitors were invited to fill in the visit book and each was welcome to pay a donation and pay a local guide for Rp. 20,000 for all.

Lingsar is a region rich with springs, under the thick and thick hillsides. It seems clear if we see it from the main road or around the city of Mataram when the weather is sunny.
Closer if seen from the city of Narmada, the city of water as Narmada city. There are even bottled mineral water companies that take water or distill water from Narmada region sources.
Until bottled water was labeled “Narmada” one day when visiting Lombok, Narmada bottled water was very dominant in small shops and large shops.
Until we can find in the mini market, Indomart or Alfamart, we can find Narmada bottled water.
Together with BNI 46 bank employees Mataram branches in Lombok Rafting
The exact location of the village of Batu Mekar can take the main route of the provincial road through 3-way junction in front of Narmada Park, driving north through a smooth asphalt road.
At the third intersection again (there is a small monument) if we go to the left will go to Lingsar Temple but we just pass to the north, then there will be the words “Karang Bayan street” until the road narrows.
The road has been given an additional shoulder with cast concrete construction, then you will find the Welcome Gate to BATU MEKAR Village, the road construction is still smooth with winding contours up and down.
In 3-way junction, there is a bridge, there is a river that has enough discharge, not too large, which is the same water flow as the Rafting location.
This river is called “Kokok Jangkuk” in Sasak or other words, Jangkuk river. Well around this location is the location where the sale of durians is quite famous for residents of the city of Mataram, during the durian season.
Karang Bayan street which has now been given a very good asphalt, only this road is still narrow, but this road has been given a road shoulder with cast concrete recently.
If we head east to the Batu Mekar village office, before arriving at the Batu Mekar village office there is 3-way junction if it passes to the Batu Mekar village office with poorer road construction and if it turns left the road will climb until it breaks up on the hill.

At the third intersection there is the LOMBOK RAFTING signboard here, there is a hallway to the place where the finishing pavement breaks through the mangosteen and rambutan plantations.
There is an open hall that is used for lunch locations and places to put all the needs for Rafting activities.
There are 2 cars to transport orange participants with an off road display. Around it are mangosteen, rambutan and dragon fruit gardens.
There is a ditch of irrigation water that is channeled to the nearest rice fields, not far from this location is the riverbank location finish or Lombok Rafting Base Camp.
So if you play Rafting you have to be taken upstream, by using a raft transport vehicle as far as 7 km along the rocky river, with a fairly strong current.
On the river side there are lush green fields. Other Rafting base camp locations “JONTLAK RAFTING” are also adjacent to “LOMBOK RAFTING” and in other location you can find “Stokel Rafting” in Middle Lombok district.
Both of them have a mission to develop the Jangkuk river tourism echo, they are in line and synergism to support each other, lend to each other’s equipment if among them are short of boats or others.

The surrounding atmosphere is very beautiful with the cool countryside and close to the hill line to the west of Mount Rinjani.
Fertile and spring sources scattered, so that in this place there are many maintenance ponds of tilapia, carp and carp, the atmosphere of the houses still looks simple construction of buildings.
Nearly 50% of villages are Balinese-style, when viewed from a house building there is a place to place offerings in front of many people’s homes like what we see on the island of Bali.
Even at times you can see Hindu religious rituals in the middle of the road, on the other hand you can also see Muslim residents with a characteristic of residents sitting in front of the house wearing a veil.
This atmosphere can be proven when you ride an off road vehicle carrying Rafting participants to the upstream direction, by crossing the terrain that will make your heart beat fast.
While riding a vehicle, with a standing position and at any time will pass the dirt road with sloping conditions. Until female participants must be screaming hysterically with the condition of this field.
Don’t forget when standing on a vehicle carrying a Rafting participant to pay attention to tree branches, so as not to get hit by your cute face huh.
Before arriving at the Lombok Rafting start location, many road segments are empty, there are no buildings on this side of the road.
Still in the form of a garden planted with a variety of plants and plants and the sound of insects and birds sounds very serene.
Bidadari rafting is the last rapids near the base camp of Jangkuk Rafting
The length of the river that we will go through in the field of Rafting in Batu Mekar village is approximately 6.5 km with a distance of 2 hours or 1.5 hours if the river flow is large, especially if during the rainy season.
The depth of the river ranges from 1 meter to 1.5 meters and there are even locations that make the Rafting run aground. At this location there are 5 rapids: The first one we named Welcome Boom.
Because this is what we are going to go through for the first time, with a narrow form of stone walls with a very strong and wavy flow.
Then the second rapids we named Nyanyang Boom, this name was taken from the sound of bees, it was said that the parents of the predecessors in this village used to have many bees.
This is one of the most extreme rapids, this is the location of one of the rapids that seldom participates who want to try it because it will likely bounce or the rubber boat will be reversed, who dares to try it?
I have tried it 3 times, the rubber boat has never been turned upside down but it really feels horrible, hehehehe …
Therefore, participants who are afraid to try it must walk across the rice fields for about 50 meters while heading to the jumping spot.
If anyone likes the challenge of jumping, try it at this location, with varying heights of 3 meters, 4 meters and 5 meters.
Next you will go through the Candles because the rapids are long like candles, then the next rapids are called rapids.
Because on the south or left edge of the rapids there are cow cages, here are also quite extreme because there are many large stones, the flow of water flows through the cracks of the rock.
The last one we named the Angels rafting because in this location many villagers bathed in the style of “Open air” aka bathing in the open air.
For gentleman participants, just focus ahead, don’t the lyrics of sin know. Well, not far from this location, our rafting is finished, aka finish.
Off road vehicles carrying participants
Before the Trip starts the instructor will provide technical explanations and field descriptions that will be taken including also will provide pass codes for Rafting or for this white water rafting trip.
Especially the most popular term BOOM which means preparation for facing rapids.
Participants must be prepared to hold the rope on the raft to hold it so that it is not easily detached from the raft.
The position of the paddle must be one grip with the rope next to the raft, while the other hand holds the rope in the middle of your front.
Enough guides who work with paddles, without having to hold on to ropes, because they are familiar and professional.

The raft can be filled by 4 participants and a maximum of 6 participants if the 4 people behind and behind will be filled by the Rafting crew team.
In addition, in every field that is considered dangerous, the rescue team is ready for the rescue action. Keep in mind that if you are thrown from the raft you will be immediately chased to be saved.
What is certain is that the float will make you comfortable if you are released from the raft. This rescue theory will not lift your body, but it will pull the elevator jacket in the neck position.
Lift jackets or buoys have been designed with the ability to lift weights with the power to be able to lift loads weighing 180 kg.
If your weight is still an average of 70 kg, this float will never tear or break when you are saved.
Don’t worry, the organizer also doesn’t want to take the risk of paying for your insurance because this trip is insured.

After finishing at the finish location all equipment is collected: paddles, lifts Jackets and helmets are hung.
You can replace your wet clothes with a dry one in the dressing room, which you have prepared.
There is also a toilet available at the location, then the meal-eating program has been prepared with a menu that is definitely right for the garden atmosphere in the open hall.
After the meal is finished, you can relax for a while drinking coffee or drinking tea and enjoying makeshift snacks while looking at photos of your Rafting activities on the Lap Top.

The latest information on the location of Rafting in Batu Mekar village has already received a visit from the Trans7 TV “Jejak Petualang” on February 18, 2017
With a beautiful host, Ms. Rani and her partner, MBA Odit, have covered the white water rafting location on the Jangkuk river location.
For those who are interested in watching this program, you can watch it on Trans7 TV after about 3 weeks of taking the video in the program “Follow in our footsteps. EXPERIENCE.”
You can watch MBA Rani rafting through the most extreme rapids, the Nyanyang Boom and at the end of the boat show, Rani turns upside down to cause a slight cut on her sweet lips.
Possibly exposed to the edge of the paddle, then MBA Rani looked for fish on the Jangkuk river with a Rafting team and after getting a few fish, the fish was cleaned on the riverbank near the Angel’s rapids.
After the caught fish are given spices then baked after being wrapped in banana leaves and eating it together with the Rafting crew.
Then what about you, curious ??? Let’s visit our location in Batu Mekar village, Lingsar district, West Lombok district.
Pusuk monkey forest is a very cool protected forest that is not far from the city of Mataram, only 15 km away and there is a border gate between the regencies of West Lombok (Lobar) and North Lombok Regency (KLU) inhabited by thousands of spoiled monkeys.
pusuk monkey forest just over to tourist
Pusuk after being arranged by the Lombok tourism agency
Why am I saying that because that is because monkeys here depend very much on everyone passing through the Pusuk area especially to tourists because this place has been used as a tourist destination.
Where each rotating travel agent operating in Lombok spills guests here but does not apply to all places because on the section of the road 1 km to the north from the peak Pusuk monkey is rather wild often threatening if visitors throw too long food by groaning while showing their canines.
Pusuk is interpreted as the peak of an uphill road by the people of Lombok because this place is at an altitude of 600 m above sea level which has a mountainous climate, cool and shady by tall trees from Pusuk. It looks lush and fertile valley that looks beautiful.
Pusuk Monkey Forest Are Between North Lombok and West Lombok Regency
Parking space is currently prepared by the local government
The vehicle is crowded because it is a connecting road across North Lombok regency with West Lombok district and Mataram city.
Along the winding road and its good construction there are separate huts which are the hangouts for those who want to take a short break to buy sweet palm wine or water made from palm sugar as well if the durian season will be a lot of durian fruit in on a table.
That is ready for sale or to eat in a place for you from the airport who want to go to Gili Trawangan will definitely cross this line or can pass the coast of Senggigi and Malimbu but some distance away.
A monkey family that always relies on its life from feeding the visitors
During the rainy season this path is very frequent landslides until landslide material closes the road until traffic jams occur as well as frequent falling trees and for that needs to be vigilant when crossing this path during the recent rainy season.
The shoulder of the road has been given violence by means of casted with concrete cement because previously only given sand, soil and stone material.
Then crushed with heavy equipment but when the rainy season eroded eroded the flow of water, besides that in every ravine was iron guard-real or iron if the vehicle might fall into the ravine, at night there are solar powered street lighting.
Sebenarnya inti dari pembahasan kita saat ini adalah jika Anda berada sedang berada di pulau Lombok entah dengan tujuan apa kemudian untuk mengisi waktu sebelum jadwal keberangkatan pesawat menuju kota asal Anda.
