Lombok Things to Do Tips by black_mimi99

Mount Rinjani

Mount Rinjani is an active volcano in Indonesia on the island of Lombok. It rises to 3,726 m (12,224 ft), making it the third-largest volcano in Indonesia. The first historical eruption occurred in September of 1847. The 6 km by 8.5 km oval-shaped caldera is filled partially by a lake known as Segara Anak.

Sade Rembitan

This is a Sasak Village on South Lombok. There are two villages like this a few kilometers north of Kuta, called Rembitan and Sade. Even if some of these traditional villages today may have become tourist traps a visit can be an interesting experience. All the guides, souvenir sellers and donations to the village is something you will have to tolerate, this is an important income and maybe you help preserve a culture which otherwise would have disappeared?
There are only three types of buildings in Sade (three is a very important number in the Wektu Telu religion); a large "beruga" or traditional ceremony hall with six pillars, "lumbung" with four pillars for storage of rice and other food, and "bale tani" which is used as living quarters. The roofs are covered by alang-alang (elephant grass) and constructed in order to keep the temperature inside cool on hot days and warm on cooler days. Other Sasak villages has tried to use bricks for construction, but these houses proved to be humid and unhealthy.

A traditional Sasak family do not live exactly as we are used to, the head of the family do not normally sleep inside the house. The men is supposed to sleep outside under the stars, in a lumbung or on a balcony outside the house. Only women and children will sleep inside. When a boy is 12 he must follow his fathers example.

Desa Sukarara

Sukarara is the home of Ikat weaving on Lombok . The more traditional plain chequered styles are being superceded by more gaudy creations (which is great if you like colour!) and you can see the women working the weaving looms outside the Ikat shops.

One of the tradition of Lombok is, if the girl can do the weaving, so she can get married...:)
