EXPLORE TETEBATU

Take a break from the main tourist areas and discover the authentic heart of Lombok in Tetebatu.

Tetebatu is a cool mountain village in the foothills of the Rinjani National Park, around 50kms from the city of Sweta and around two hours’ drive east of Senggigi. Trekking in the area with the assistance of various local guides gives visitors a window into rural village life in this beautiful part of Lombok.

Explore lush green rice paddies, learn about the farming traditions for rice, maize, and the fruits and spices that are grown in the area, see monkeys playing in the trees, and sample freshly ground local coffee, vanilla, and more.

A trek through the area usually includes a visit to Jeruk Manis Waterfall, a lovely cascade of water during the wet season where you can take a dip in the cold clear water, and finish with a traditional lunch overlooking the green scenery.

Some guides offer overnight adventures with camping in the foothills of Rinjani, which is a fantastic way to take in the peace and beauty of the area. Wear comfortable hiking shoes and take a jacket, as it’s much cooler in the mountains.

Getting to Lombok

Lombok – unspoiled natural beauty, stunning uncrowded beaches and laid-back charm defines the island’s essence…

Getting to the Gilis

When travellers make the boat crossing between Bali and Lombok, they probably don’t realise they are not only crossing one of the deepest bodies of water in the world, but also crossing a transitional zone between Asia and Australia.

Getting Around the Island

Lombok is proudly home to some outstanding restaurants and the culinary scene is expanding all the time – from simple cafés serving traditional Sasak dishes filled with the tantalising flavours of Indonesian spices, to innovative restaurants where renowned chefs curate menus that redefine the boundaries of taste.

places to visit

West Lombok

Pura Narmada (or Narmada Temple), around 10 km east of Cakranegara in Narmada, was created circa 1805 as a replica of Gunung Rinjani and Segara Anak, the lake within Rinjani's crater.The gardens at Narmada are beautifully maintained and surround the pools and lake.

Southcoast Lombok

Located around 60 km south of Mataram, Kuta (sometimes spelt Kute) is the main town and tourism centre on the south coast of Lombok, and is the gateway for exploring the fantastic south coast and the many places of interest in the region.

Southwest Lombok

Southwest Lombok... a meandering coastline of pristine white sand beaches and thirteen small islands - the Southwest Gilis - floating in the sparkling turquoise waters just offshore.

North Lombok

Lombok is proudly home to some outstanding restaurants and the culinary scene is expanding all the time – from simple cafés serving traditional Sasak dishes filled with the tantalising flavours of Indonesian spices, to innovative restaurants where renowned chefs curate menus that redefine the boundaries of taste.

Central Lombok

When the main tourism areas in Lombok get too busy, a day trip across the island is a great way to get away from the crowds and see the “real face” of the island.

East Lombok

The east of the island is the least visited and developed area of Lombok, although there are large towns and a thriving local population. Most people visit the area to catch inter-island ferries across to neighbouring Sumbawa, en-route to the islands of Komodo and Flores in the east.

the Gilis

Gili Trawangan, or “Gili T” as its affectionately known, is the largest and most developed of the three Gilis, with the greatest range of facilities and activities.
