Benang Kelambu
Benang Kelambu Waterfall is located in Central Lombok Regency, Batu Keliang Utara Sub district which is part of a waterfall that surrounds the southern slopes of Mount Rinjani if you want to visit this place coming from the direction of Mataram city there are two choices through the Sayang-Sayang – Suranadi-Sesaot route and I left the Kekeru market.
I recommend this route in addition to the lack of traffic, it also offers many beautiful views of rice fields and gardens, but this path is further than the main route. Through the Mataram route – Narmada – Mantang the traffic is very crowded, besides that, some of the sights are blocked by shopping buildings.
Before Mantang there are 2 lanes turning right, namely the main route to Labuhan Lombok and a straight lane with a narrower road to Aik Bukak after approximately 7 km to the traditional market Tratak there is a hint to the left of the BENANG STOKEL well after entering 300 m you will presented with a view of the beautiful wide rice fields to penetrate the slopes of Mount Rinjani.
Here you can stop coming down from the vehicle to take photos all the way to the parking lot in the waterfall area. but before you will meet Lombok Rafting base camp in the middle of the rice field.
Arriving at the parking area, every visitor must come to the reservation office for registration and administration purposes and pay for the entrance ticket, there are optional packages involving local guides with the intention of empowering the local population.
Around the area there is a Benang Stokel Waterfall (10 minute on foot) and waterfall Benang Kelambu (30 minutes on foot) that is certain for the choice to the waterfall Yarn Mosquito Net will be more draining because you will walk across the cocoa, coffee, banana, Jack-fruit and Durian gardens which are very memorable when see very thick durian fruit.
Before arriving at the location of waterfall you have to go down the very long steps up to the location of the Waterfall Yarn, there is little additional arrangement in the waterfall area because this water just flows into the cliff gap and the manager is now making a pool that can used for swimming.
Before the water is wasted for sure mountain water must be cold, so in this area it is not too wide if it is visited by 100 people it will be very crowded, after taking a bath as much as you want then you must be ready to sweat again to climb up the stairs.
Until you reach the top you can take a break first while throwing away your men by drinking coffee that you can buy around the area while preparing energy to go back to the parking area.
If you came to use Ojek transport services, of course you just ride a motorbike and do not need to go to coffee. to the parking area. Another alternative to return to the location of the vehicle parking lot you can use the shortcut path through the garden that is connected to the waterfall of Stokel and what is certain is that it is not a motorbike track.
Especially when it will cross the trench before reaching the location of Benang Stokel waterfall, if it arrives at the location of the stockel thread that means you are close to the parking location.
