The stages of your journey
Highlights
Day-by-day itinerary
Welcome to Lombok
Transfer by speed-boat departing from Padangbai, in Bali (organized by the maritime company).
Arrival at Bangsal port where your English-speaking guide will meet you and transfer you to Senaru, a charming village nestled at the foot of Mount Rinjani.
Along the way, you will travel through lush tropical forests and terraced rice fields. After checking in at your Guest house, you will have some free time to soak in the peaceful atmosphere of Senaru
Refreshing waterfalls
This morning, you set off to discover the magnificent waterfalls of Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep, nestled in the dense jungle of the Rinjani national park. After a pleasant and refreshing walk, which will have allowed you to swim under the waterfalls, return to Senaru to visit its traditional Sasak village.
This is then an opportunity to learn more about the local culture, architecture and traditions of this community.
Walk: 2-3 hours
On the heights
Early in the morning, you head towards Sembalun Lawang, a village surrounded by vast plantations and majestic hills.
From there, you begin a hike towards the Pergasingan hills, which offer a spectacular view of the valley and the slopes of Mount Rinjani.
After a few hours of walking through incredible landscapes, you reach the summit in time to admire a magical sunset.
Hike: 2-3h
Fabulous sunrise
Early morning wake-up to admire the sunrise over the Sembalun valley and the surrounding mountains. After enjoying this unforgettable panorama, descent back to Sembalun Lawang and free afternoon to rest or explore the village.
Hot springs and rice paddies
Early morning transfer to the natural hot springs of Sebau, an ideal place to relax after the hikes of the previous days.
You then continue towards the terraced rice fields of Sapit, through which you stroll, in the heart of a lush landscape, between mountains and local cultures.
Last fall...
Early morning transfer to Tetebatu, a fertile region where you begin a short hike to a hidden waterfall: the Jeruk Manis falls ("sweet oranges" in Indonesian).
Nestled in the heart of a lush jungle, at the foot of Mount Rinjani, this spectacular waterfall is ideal for a final refreshing swim.
At the end of the day, transfer to the peaceful village of Kembang Kuning.
Towards Paradise
Morning transfer to western Lombok.
Along the way, you visit Narmada, an ancient summer palace built by a Balinese king, where you will discover its gardens and sacred spring. Then, a stop in the monkey forest, where you observe these animals in their natural habitat. Afternoon transfer to Bangsal, the departure point for the Gili Islands.
Upon arrival, a horse-drawn cart (Cidomo) takes you to your hotel. You can then enjoy, if you wish, a massage or a cocktail with a sea view.
Feet in the water
Free day. You have the opportunity to enjoy, for example, the morning by taking a tour of the island on foot or by bike. This excursion will allow you to discover the most peaceful beaches on the island as well as small restaurants and bars by the water.
Also take your mask and snorkel and set off to discover the marine life from the beach. On the Gili, there are many fish but not only that. You will surely encounter several sea turtles during your snorkeling adventure, considered to be the oldest inhabitants of the island.
