Batu Idung Hill Top Tourism Object In Gerung West Lombok

Batu Idung View Point

Beautiful hill top Lombok Batu Idung tourism park can be said to be not too well known by the people of Mataram or Lombok people in general, it is not even well known by some tourism actors in Lombok, I myself really idolize this place because there are many things that can be served right from above Batu Idung hill which is included in the West Lombok regency and not far from the West Lombok regent’s office.

Beautiful Hill Top Lombok Location

About 5 km to the west which is included in the Gerung Twin District village area. The location of this location has no sign from the highway or from the main road to the port of Sheet from the direction of the city of Mataram, so from the intersection not far from the West Lombok regent office about 2 km take the route to the port of Pelabuhan that connects the ferry crossing to Bali Island.

There is an asphalt road entering which still uses simple asphalt violence, there is a simple stall at the edge of the irrigation water flow with a 3 meter wide concrete bridge, where you can ask the location of the Batu Idung hill.

Approximately 700 meters into the village settlement on the edge Our rice fields must stop if we use four-wheeled vehicles, then you have to walk through the concrete rebate road which is only 1.5 meters wide with a slope of 35 degrees.

If we use a motorcycle we can go up to the parking lot provided above near the location Batu Idung then to go to location which we mean to walk 200 meters up a little to the north until we arrive at the location there are 2 large gazebos where visitors sit resting also there are cold drink merchants and light cakes of bread and so on only 20 meters from the top of a nose-like stone, which is the core of the object we are going to visit.

Besides being able to see the charm of the hills on the southwestern side of the island of Lombok and the green expanse of rice fields below the foothills that are squared squarely in a square.

There is also the city of Mataram with the Lombok “Land Mark” in the form of an Islamic Center Mosque building or the “Hubbul Wathan” mosque which is located at the Udayana crossing to the north, Erlangga Road to the south, Pejanggik road to the east and Langko road to the west, almost closed with a hillside in the vicinity of Gerung sub-district.

Even Mount Agung is not To be defeated, it seems that his arrogance from the next island (Bali) seems to challenge the pride of Mount Rinjani on the mainland of the island of Lombok, especially when the sky is clear, Mount Agung is clearly visible with thick gray silhouettes.

This amazing charm Beautiful hill top Lombok can be felt at sunrise or at sunset, for those who like photography I recommend it, for this location it is also often used by sports fans a kite, besides that some national television had come to cover this location.

Batu Idung top — A cool place to relax while waiting for the sunset

Not only that, the port of Ferry (Lembar) that connects the islands of Bali and Lombok appears to lurk our existence on the hill of Batu Idung, seen ferry boats line irregularly anchored in the bay of Lembar.

Beautiful Hill Top Batu Idung Lombok Views

The coastline that limits the blue sea and green the rice fields, in the back there are still villages that look as if they are led by a mosque dome, far from the other side there are 3 tourist destinations: Gili Nanggu, Gili Tangkong and Gili Sudak seem jealous because they feel they will be rivaled by Batu Idung hill tourism, if being in this location all the moments we want to try for us to visit Batu Idung hill because a certain time will bring its own hue if we are in this location.

MTB bike lovers at least want to miss this location because the sensation of climbing to this location is very challenging but very many fail to ride bicycles to the location of the parking lot because the incline is very extreme or too sharp and very long, mostly they carry bicycles to the parking location but for bicycles it is not difficult for us to take them to the Batu Idung location because it is very good for us to be a symbol of conquest.

It’s really rude if I have to tell this place because I realize the traveler will be very hearty when reading news about this location because the brain is not able to record a story of a beautiful place because it must immediately invite the eyes to treat it, let’s come to the Batu Idung hill especially the townspeople Mataram because this location is not too far just 20 km from the heart of Mataram. The lane is not too difficult.

You just have to follow the main line to Lembar Harbor, it is ideal to come by motorbike and just walk 200 meters to the location of the parking lot, 400 meters from the asphalt road to the motorbike parking lot and certainly cars are not allowed to go up to parking location.

The latest information besides having to pay for parking at the Batu Idung location will be charged an entrance ticket of Rp 2,000 / person. so you have to pay for parking and the entrance ticket.

Sunset point Batu Idung — Those who have land privately spend funds to make a location for taking pictures because those who have land sell on location

The latest information on the location of the Idung rock hill has changed a lot with the nameplate WELCOME by using the image that I uploaded on this blog, there are several meters of BUKIT BATU IDUNG on location and there is a swing on it that reads BATU IDUNG SUNSET of course on the west side of the hill this, curious? I am also curious to see the current situation at any time.

Hiking to Tiu Sekeper The Highest Waterfall In Lombok

The Tiu Sekeper Fall in North Lombok Island

Highest waterfall in Lombok is Tiu Sekeper fall located in North side the island of Lombok. Lombok has many waterfalls whose source pivots on Mount Rinjani until it is estimated that there are still some who do not know the exact whereabouts.

The terrain is still a dense forest that is still difficult to reach as well as the Tiu Sekeper fall which is the highest waterfall on the island Lombok has a height of up to 102 meters.

Another opinion also stated that the height was estimated at 80 – 90 meters and said it was included in the top 10 highest waterfalls in Indonesia, which was only known for 2 years. The highest waterfall in Lombok Tiu Sekeper the terrain to get to the location had to break through dense forests to take 3 hours to get to the location on foot.

Tiu Sekeper Fall Did’t Know Well With People

This did not surprise me because when I talked with one of the young people living not far from the entrance to the Tiu Sekeper highest waterfall in Lombok, waterfall location before I got a local guide to guide us to the location of Tiu Sekeper fall and when this young man asked where are i going

I said I would go hiking to Tiu Sekeper The highest waterfall in Lombok and then he would look a little frown while saying “I think I want to go to Tiu Teja waterfall, he said! The location of Tiu Teja waterfall is only 500 meters from here but if I go to Tiu Sekeper I have never there the young man said.

Not long after there was a man who was not big enough to come to where I was standing near the shop, it turned out he was the parent of the owner of the shop where we bought drinking water, after getting acquainted with his name Mr. Badarudin, after conversing he also said he often sent people who want to visit Tiu Sekeper fall.

Now it happened that we also offered him to be a guide to deliver us to the location of the highest waterfall in Lombok, after agreeing to be able to afford it for a short time later we packed it while preparing food, drinks, fruit, we also bought bananas then we put them in small backpacks and the road to the location of Tiu Sekeper fall.

Before leaving, we take a photo first, then we post on Facebook, this is indirectly if something happens and something else, at least at that time we are known to be in the village of Santong, heading to the location of Tiu Sekeper waterfall.

At the beginning of the journey the trail was still wide to the parking location of the Tiu Teja waterfall with the atmosphere of lush and cool dense forest, the more into the tracks the more uphill and on the right we could still see the Tiu Teja waterfall below the valley.

Heavy Terrain Trek To The Tiu Kelep Fall

On the way to break through the jungle with the condition of the trail with many branches that made me think if not using a local guide, there would certainly be many problems with misguided paths, the more we entered the jungle the more uphill we drank and the water ran out but don’t worry before we departed.

Mr. Badarudin had told us about the length of the trip would spend a normal 3 hour walk and if we ran out of drinking water there were still many sources of springs scattering along the way.

In this dense forest, we feel the smell of fresh air which is very different from what we breathe every day in the city of Mataram. Occasionally when our drinking water runs out there are some springs which are crushed from plastic pipes where we fill bottled water it runs out, while walking there are things we must avoid, Mr. Badarudin said, that if he saw a tree like this, said Mr. Badarudin, pointing to one of the leaves with a tree that was not too big, if we call it the tree “Jelateng”.

dangerous think — Jelateng trees to avoid

If we touch or scratch with the thorns on the Jelateng leaves this will cause the skin that is pierced by the Jelateng leaves to become swollen and feel like being stung by a bee for 2 or 3 days, so we have to recognize these trees and leaves. said Mr. Badarudin.

While we continued the journey there were still some trees that had been cut down either by whom and who we also found uninhabited huts in the forest seemed to belong to the people who planted coffee and bananas that appeared in this forest after we walked our 1.5 hours sometimes it stops to rest because it’s tired too.

While sitting on a fallen tree trunk with my friend Helmi Subhan happened to be just the two of us while observing that there were several types of insects that we had never seen before so too Mr. Badarudin was seen scavenging for plastic garbage scattered around while placing in a bag of scrap used food that we brought, “it seems that Mr. Badarudin is already environmentally conscious.

Mr. Badarudin was cleaning plastic waste and then took it home after putting it in a plastic bag

Throughout the trip we also found the flow of the river and several waterfalls but not only as high as 5 meters and the river is not wide and there is already a small bridge for us to use and even has a roof like this for shelter if it rains.

In my mind actually this road will not be far if the terrain is straight because this pathway feels very meandering while climbing, after a trip of more than 2 hours we feel really really in a dense forest because the soil we step on feels wet and trees trees are increasingly shady, bushy and bushy.

Approximately almost near the location of the increasingly difficult terrain waterfall, we crossed the cliff wall and beneath it was a very deep valley but the spooky side was covered in thick shrubs and trees under the valley but at this location there were long tree roots where we hold even ladders made of wood to descend to connect paths that are cut off by fields formed by nature.

Not far from this location, there was a distinctive sound of a waterfall falling from a height and the roar of water falling from the shower of a waterfall. We decided to take a few minutes of rest while enjoying the view of the waterfall while taking pictures from the Smart phone camera because if you look at the location we are going to go again it is still very low location with a slightly slippery terrain.

This waterfall in my opinion has a slide that is not beautiful but attractive because it has a high enough height and has an exciting trekking field for people who like trekking tours with a dense jungle atmosphere, until now I still miss the atmosphere towards Tiu Sekeper waterfall .

Even though it felt ready to go down then we proceeded to traverse the terrain with solid and wet soil conditions but many stems of bushes where to hold while feeling threatening terrain, finally after arriving 50 meters below the glide the atmosphere is beautiful can not be described with words said.

What is certain is that our soul feels flew down by a cold slide which cannot be intact if we try to take a close picture, for those who want to take a bath, please do not go to the slides because there was a victim who died after being blown away by a slid dead body rolled into base for the launch for that don’t try playing the champ here !!!

Before Walk Down to The Tiu Sekeper Fall

After an hour at this location, the body already feels quite cold, please change your wet shorts, don’t get wet again to the location of the car park because my personal experience is only to bring 1 pair of shorts while we replace the trousers in the parking lot and resulting in my groin blister because wet pants rub against the skin.

The thing that I remember the most when I returned to the parking lot I felt it was really not memorized by the terrain we had been through.

When I tried walking ahead Pak Badarudin always instructed me from behind that I turned by taking the wrong path, could imagine if we go to this location without using a local guide, “Can you stray into the wild next time?

Local Guide to The Highest Waterfall in Lombok

Finally, we almost arrived at the parking lot, the foot had felt like we were going to get an uproar. The plan was to stop at the Tiu Teja waterfall when we returned it was not interesting anymore.

Finally we arrived at the parking lot, thank you, Mr. Badarudin, hoping that we would meet again. Badarudin with the promise I will sell tour packages to Tiu Sekeper fall.

Of course, in the future, if all of Mr. Badarudin’s smooth plans can be coordinated by a local guide to Tiu Sekeper waterfall, from here we must turn to Mataram by traveling 72 km and I expect to be able to reach home around less than 07:00 pm our journey took place when the sun had sunk.

Tiu Kelep Waterfall And The Beauty Of The Slides

Tiu Kelep Waterfall

Tiu Kelep Waterfall is the most beautiful waterfall on the island of Lombok, with the shape of a glide slightly impressed as it flew until this is where the name “Kelep” formed which means flying and the small spat beneath the glide seemed like its wings, located right on the northern part of the island of Lombok north, from Mataram city, the trip will take 2 hours – 2.5 hours.

With a new four-wheel drive, you will arrive in the village of Senaru. About 75 km from the city of Mataram which is also (Senaru) is known as the main gate of access to trekking to Mount Rinjani.

About the elevation of the Senaru village height of approximately 600 m above sea level, upon arrival here you will be greeted with a lodging building with the banner trekking organizer offers services for climbing Mount Rinjani.

On the left side of the main road of Senaru village, the gate will appear to the location of 2 waterfalls and one of them will go to Tiu Kelep at the ticket counter where everyone will be charged for the entrance ticket of Rp 10,000 / person.

Before buying the ticket it is usually the first time visitors to this location will look left look right looking for a parking space, here are 2 parking lots, namely: which is close to the waterfall gate from the gate to the waterfall you can park in the public parking lot not far from the gate about 30 meters forward to the right of the road.

The second parking location you can park on the “Pondok Senaru” page on the left side of the road 10 meters before the gate to the waterfall here you will be welcomed by the Pondok Senaru restaurant waiter to enter the restaurant but not for eating other than that you will be offered to order just coffee but don’t have to buy it.

DAILY TOURS

Here you must empower the local Guide to guide you to the location of the waterfall, they will ask the purpose of your visit whether to the first waterfall or to the second waterfall because besides Tiu Kelep waterfall there is a Sendang Gile waterfall that is closer to the gate namely walking down the stairs for about 10 minutes.

Here there are 3 waterfalls through the same gate but usually you will only be offered 2 waterfalls because the 3rd waterfall is very far away and requires extra energy to reach it but if there is time don’t miss to see the waterfall the second is Tiu Kelep.

Tiu Kelep is the most beautiful waterfall on the island of Lombok. the access road has been made hardening in the form of a pair of natural stones for the pathway.

There are also reeling to hold down to the waterfall because many visitors from the elderly sometimes have to stopped to hold on to the railing besides that there were also many posts of dismissal that could be used to take shelter when it rained. This waterfall is indeed inferior to the first waterfall, but no less beautiful and charming, it is certainly a pity to miss.

After agreeing with your local Guide, you will be sent to the entrance gate. You don’t need to worry, you are thinking how much you should pay the local Guide. If you two, it is around Rp 50,000 to 100,000 depending on your policy.

In the forest and having to cross the swift river currents and local guides will be very helpful to bring you slippers or shoes when crossing the river, after arriving you will be greeted with the roar of water and cold steam due to the waterfall of the water that winds up here can take a shower and swim while holding cold.

Local visitors — As much as possible, you should bring food to the location of the waterfall.

After finishing showering back into the parking lot and being able to order a meal at Pondok Senaru restaurant, here is a place to enjoy a very beautiful view because from this restaurant you will be presented with a view of a very deep green valley and a plot of rice fields from a distance.

Also from here you can see the first waterfall glide, which is the Sendang insane waterfall covered with large trees, while waiting for food to order you can walk in the park location while taking photos from all directions, besides the sunny weather the slopes of Mount Rinjani are very visible towering from this location.

Not only is there a place to order lunch, but certainly not as good as here for a place to get a view while enjoying your lunch. In addition there are also many warung stalls where you can buy lunch at cheap prices, but the place will also determine the price of the food we ordered.

Senaru waterfall — Sendang Gile Waterfall, in this location this time you can buy fried bananas

But actually the organizers have captured customers through the website, but the name display only shows the identity of each climbing organizer.

Because through the door of the Senaru village is the best access to the climb compared to other routes such as the Torean, Batu Keliang Utara and Sajang villages.

Except Sembalun access because the hiking trail leading to the summit of Rinjani climbing via Sembalun is the closest and most visible peak of Rinjani is very clear if the clear weather in the morning can be said to be bright.

Especially through climbing via Sembalun the terrain is not too steep to reach the summit of Rinjani relatively flat and there are only a few rather steep places before approaching Post 3 near the lip of the crater of Segara Anak lake.

Along the way from the beginning of entering the village Senaru looks up to the TNGR (Gunung Rinjani National Park) signboard with the banner sign offering you to join to climb Mount Rinjani with a package that has been packaged for a few days of climbing.

rinjani from senaru — Mount Rinjani from Senaru village, seen the building of climbing organizers.

In addition there are also a number of restaurants and inns around the Senaru area, although the Sendang Gile fall is a bit broken.

At a glance it looks connected if we take pictures from the camera Smart phone or other cameras this waterfall is very favorite for Lombok people to visit.

Besides because the infrastructure in the form of access roads that have been arranged well with stairs made of natural stone and recently have been given reeling safety or reeling just to hold on when passing down and up to the waterfall.

From the entrance gate to the waterfall a number of posts have been prepared to take a break whether it is resting due to rain or resting because fatigue will take about 10 minutes from the entrance window we will arrive at the waterfall location.

Here you can take a shower but unable to swim under the waterfall because the falling water is not accommodated by a pool of bulk water which slides from above.
