Hours
Firstly from Senggigi, we are heading to Pusuk Pass.
Pusuk is high and cool mountain pass along the main road to the road
is famous for its views and tropical monkeys that wait by the side
of the road waiting for snacks from passers by. There is a
restaurant for light snacks and to enjoy the fantastic natural
panorama. Then, trailing the same main road, at last we arrive at
Senaru traditional village as our second visit of the day.
Senaru village is a humble village which is dotted with old houses –
maintained traditionally till nowadays as the perpetuation of Islam
Wektu Telu religion heritage and the waktu telu religion is still
being practiced by an estimated 5000 people just in Bayan itself
including this villagers. Wektu Telu religion signifies the complex
mixture of the three religions that comprise Wektu Telu: Balinese
Hindhuism, Islam and Animism. Members of the Wektu Telu religion
regards themselves as Muslims, although they are not officially
accepted as such by mainstream Muslims. After this, then we are
heading back down to the two waterfalls as our main activity of the
day.
Those towering waterfalls are Sindang Gila and Tiu Kelep
waterfall. Sindanggila is considered smaller than Tiu Kelep
but its peculiarity is that it seems it cut through in the middle of
the waterfall by a dike line is only to find that the more you are
exploring down the river line off the main waterfall, the more you
will encounter many other small waterfalls streaming down the dike
line. After this, we are trailing up the irrigation steps and follow
the ditch line and pass the brooks to get to Tiu Kelep. Tiu Kelep is
regarded the biggest waterfall in Lombok, on its base is the pool
which sending chilly and cool water for the swimmers and according
to Lombok belief it will keep you young once you probe its chilly
waters.
After that, then we are going back to some restaurant in senaru to
take some respite. Then, we continue down to Islam Waktu Telu mosque
is our last resort of our program of the day. Islam is said to have
first arrived on Lombok at Bayan, and Bayan’s mosque, 300 years old,
is thought to be the oldest on the island. End of our service.
