Gunungsari Crafts and Gazebo Makers

Bamboo Crafts

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.

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.

bamboo woven — 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.

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.

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.

lombok gazebo — 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.

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.

lombok gazebo architecture — 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.

gazebo lombok — 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

small gazebo — 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.

Culinary Lombok Special Cuisine Must To Try

Lombok Culinary

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

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.

Get To Know The Pottery Center Of The Village Of Banyumulek

Pottery Village

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.

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 seller — 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.”

Lombok pottery art shop — 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 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.

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 to burning Pottery — 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.

craft women in Banyumulek — 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.

Banyumulek tourist visitor — 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.

Some art shops collaborate with travel agents to package this craft as a tourist destination because we see many travel vehicles stopping at one crowded art shop because in the art shop location there are also free theoretical courses to form pottery certainly after finishing the course.

They hope you buy the work that has been displayed in the shop or if you don’t mind you give tipping money to the tutor if you don’t mind.

The Beauty Of Lombok Island And Its Safety

Lombok Safety is declared because it is not in a war situation, there are no natural disasters, there are no fights between villages, there are no terrorist acts but for other matters related to crime it cannot be denied that it still happens the same as in the island of Java, motor vehicle theft syndicates still often heard, pick pocketing at the bus terminal still exists, fraud with mode mode still exists, coercion and snapping on the bus terminal there is still deception of passengers’ luggage also still exists, we can avoid this as long as we are careful and alert beforehand.

Contact Lombok Police Hire

Typical Lombok people in each section vary greatly, while Lombok people who live in parts of the fertile land have a very shady, modest and very friendly temperament. They are very diligent in starting their daily activities, from sunrise to sunset taking care of livestock and farming in the rice fields, very devoutly worshiping, in the middle of the rice fields they built a small mosque and a bath.

People call it a public prayer hall, Endowments, meaning waqaf in the form of grants for the public interest, because among them they have no objection to set aside agricultural produce or donate a little land to build musholla / small mosque because every farmer is not always close to where he farms when they eat. because lunch is delivered to the fields by his wife or daughter they live peacefully and beautifully in the simplicity of obeying the teachings of religion is never separated from the five daily prayers.

The Lombok people who live in parts of the land are barren, rocky, the hills around it dry, water is very rare, the rain that comes only in the season they live on dry land shaded by tamarind trees.

The tamarind tree is trees that survive growing in barren areas during the rainy season will flow to wet the fields around where they live and then they are busy to plant their fields with rice and stock rice for dry season supplies later.

When the dry season arrives they will think tomorrow there must be cooked. The South Lombok region in 1978, the southern part of Lombok was hit by malnutrition.

So that the government was fighting until GORA rice or gogorancah rice was planted where this rice could live like a corn plant that could grow into rice seeds planted on land that was not Flooding water is not like the rice we commonly know.

Until now Lombok has other names besides Selaparang earth which is the first kingdom to fertilize another royal kingdom in Lombok so that the first airport in Lombok was named Selaparang airport, Lombok is also known as Bumi Gora which we can still see in Udayana park on the road two-way flight to the old airport in the city of Mataram.

In the various aspects of life in Lombok which are influenced by heredity, profession and geography that affect the character and paradigm in living in Lombok, of course people who have ancestral lineages from royal descendants in Lombok will greatly uphold the price self.

Dignity and honor of the extended family including in their everyday speeches they use languages which are considered to be subtle by the Lombok people and very anti to say your words to other people including to newborn babi

Your designation is very angry or impolite, it will only be used when someone is angry. The profession of people in Lombok is also very varied for people who live in the city of mayor or regency cities, generally government officials, small, medium and large businessmen in various fields whose economies are more established and well-off as for the poor parking attendants, construction workers, mobile bakers and others.

The profession of Lombok people in the village will certainly not be much different from the profession of villagers in other areas.

Only what we will talk about is the Lombok people’s profession living in dry areas and infertile land, the people we mean are people who live around South Lombok or around the typical south of the city of Praya, the people here are rather harsh or temperamental, but I don’t say absolutely.

I estimate that 75% of the nature of this temperament may be formed from a hot, dry and infertile geographical condition that only relies on agriculture when the rainy season arrives.

This forms the paradigmatic to survive in a way that they consider to be correct, which results in a very high rate of theft of livestock, especially cattle and buffalo that are stolen and stolen only around the scope of the next sub-district.

They work with the Javanese or the thieves or thieves in the village. by showing the midnight thieves where the cow pen to be stolen is not infrequently people who have cattle and dead thieves at the end of the sword fight over and defend livestock because livestock are real goods to be sold and become money, usually stolen animals are deposited in a certain place before being taken to “Benchmark” or place of slaughter of livestock.

The story of the theft of livestock is very heroic and lasts a long time on earth of Selaparang why do I say heroic because thieves of this kind are not considered to be a shameful job they are risking their lives, there are even a few fleeting stories about how a woman’s firmness towards a potential partner when they want to be proposed they crave a man who dare to walk the night with the intentions of the prospective husband so that he can truly be a real man who can protect economically so that the necessities of life can be fulfilled by fighting lives to commit crimes (stealing / robbing)

Not only is there a problem with the purpose of finding livestock but also sometimes to test the ability of black magic obtained from hermitage in sacred places, some even deliberately tell livestock owners to come to pick up livestock in the village and are ready to fight the magical power science they have.

This case takes place very long around the south Lombok area. I will not mention the villages that are often the scene of the crime because some of them like this are a big disgrace directed at their village but in general I mention southern Lombok.

The above often makes police officers powerless to prevent the situation of cattle theft in South Lombok, even police officers are shaken to investigate cases of cattle theft in Lombok so that around 1995 the police managed to form two Pamswakarsa (security association local) groups called Buru Jejak and Amphibi. These groups were deliberately formed to eradicate theft of livestock that occurred in south Lombok, not infrequently the thieves of cattle were judged by these two groups by being beheaded or slaughtered to give deterrent to the next perpetrators.

Not long after this Pamswakarsa group for Lombok Safety grew bigger and became more feared so that many thieves of cattle became dreadful and scared, especially the Amphibi group which was getting bigger and more loved by the community. To become a member of Amphibi Lombok for Safety does not escape, including people who often commit criminal behavior to join in becoming Amphibi for Lombok Safety members in order to find shelter.

Amphibian group also penetrated to most parts of the island of Lombok, including also penetrated the city of Mataram with the establishment of posts to patrol with the command post style painted orange with a vicious crocodile symbol.

Conditions like this make Lombok more safe from criminal acts because every perpetrator criminality will be judged by Amphibi’s group. Over time the amphibian group went on to become a force that made city residents uneasy.

Amphibi members Lombok Safety always arrogantly raised their swords in the streets with pickup trucks behind like ISIS soldiers but they differed only by armed samurai and judging criminals outside. procedure, not through the legal process.

This member is also sometimes used for other purposes such as for the forced collection of individuals to collect debts by force and issue an ultimatum against debtors.

There were also several members killed while surrounded by a kingpin 4 people were killed and very many other stories about the actions of members Amphibians are increasingly arbitrary and wrong procedures.

The NTB Regional Police immediately dismissed the Pamswakarsa for Lombok Safety on the grounds that the number of thefts of livestock was no longer there and it could be controlled.

Only members of the Amphibi group could operate in regional areas prone to criminal acts found in southern central Lombok for more details about the existence of Amphibi / security association local, You can Access Google by typing the word “Amphibi Lombok”, surely you will see the elements of the orange color.

Visit Gili Nanggu To Relax And To Do Snorkeling in Sekotong District

Gili Nanggu

For Nanggu beach lovers who are looking forward to your arrival the island which is only about 12 hectares wide will offer its charm, beautiful surroundings that consist of hills that wall the beach from a distance, clear sea water showing off the coral contained in it , the gusts of the wind and the whispers of the waves that will bring peace, the island is still neighboring 2 other islands, Gili Tangkong and Gili Sudak, even one of them is often approached by visitors, Gili Kedis.

Actually, Gili Kedis does not belong to the neighbor category because only a small island covering 10 acres and there are no inhabitants but very exotic to take pictures here. To get to this island, there are many boat ports that we can access from the city of Mataram, among them can be through Cemare harbor not far from Lembar Harbor, from here visitors from Mataram city will be faster or not too long to drive a car or motorbike, only around 30 minutes from we can also see the Nanggu harbor, we only have to cross 15 minutes to arrive at Nanggu.

Alternatively, you can go through Lembar port as well, as visitors don’t spend too much time driving cars or motorbikes, but from Lembar Harbor to Nanggu dyke it takes longer to work because the boat starts from inside the bay and will spend 30 minutes now the closest port to Gili Nanggu is the Tawun port from here it only takes about 10 minutes to arrive at Gili Nanggu.

Unfortunately from this port, if we are from Mataram city, we will spend around 1.5 hours because we have to go around the bay and cross the coast to the south of Gili Nanggu or in Sekotong Barat sub-district, but the cost of crossing to Gili Nanggu is cheaper, of course around Rp. 300,000 for charter, a maximum of 10 passengers, can also visit 3 islands, namely Gili Nanggu, Gili Tangkong, Gili Sudak and the extras to visit Gili Kedis, for sure the price of the boat charter is more expensive.

Not far from the beach is very shady if you want to play and walk on white sand

After arriving on this island, every visitor will be visited by a coast guard to pay a tourist entrance fee of Rp 5,000 / person because your used food waste will be handled by the manager and it is emphasized by the manager not to dispose of garbage, especially foreigners. many who travel to this island here you will be safe from the pursuit of souvenir traders or hawkers.

While waiting for the others to snorkel you can relax while playing swing

Such traders are not allowed to enter this island. Only one resort and no local residents living in this place are only inhabited by hotel employees who work in Gili Nanggu, not infrequently foreign tourists who come to this place are amazed by repeatedly saying this island is paradise island ‘paradise island’ ‘crystal-like white sand we occasionally see crab-type animals running around leaving traces of footprints, turtledoves flying low and running on the beach while looking at you like looking like you are astonished to see you at its location.

Arriving at Gili Nanggu there is a choice whether to be alone or to play swing, but I suggest that you better get snorkeling equipment or maybe you have prepared snorkeling equipment before, because you rent snorkeling equipment in Gili, the rental price is too expensive because you are not competing. rather than just rent it because I am sure you will never count the rental price after seeing Gili Nanggu marine park, around Gili Nanggu waters there is a prohibition to fish here is very sustainable, coral reefs are very beautiful colored fish colorful in large numbers that flash in front of you when you snorkel and don’t forget to bring bread to eat fish, the fish here are very friendly with people who snorkel because everyone snorkeling is always coming to feed him.
