Visit Sasak Village

Sasak is the name of the aboriginal dwellers of Lombok. Indonesia has many rich and varied cultures. A visit to the Sasak village is a chance to enjoy a new cultural experience. The Sasak village is located in the southern part of Lombok. The village is well suited for tourists. It is a live-in place created for visitors to enjoy the rich culture of the Sasak. For a complete tour, one should hire one of the local guides. They speak fluent English. One will be able to understand what they see instead of just taking pictures. For instance, a guide will explain the local customs to a visitor. The kids will especially love it. There are many souvenirs, which one may not find anywhere else.

Partake in the Bau Nyale Festival

If one has always had a desire to feast on roasted worms, the festival is the place to be. The festival takes place in February or March each year. At this time, Lombok is filled with visitors who come to see the Nyale fish. It is a type of fish, which loosely resembles a worm. Anyone is allowed to partake in this huge festival and look for nyale fish. The festival is done in honor of a mythical princess. She apparently drowned in these waters to escape an arranged marriage. The fish once caught are roasted inside banana leaves. It is a time of great feasting and much joy. It is definitely a good place to be on a holiday to Lombok.

Visit the Waterfalls

The Lombok Island is a place of much natural beauty. It is teeming with many waterfalls, which are quite fun to visit. There are a number of well-known waterfalls from which to choose. Most of them are located some distance away from the village of Senaru. The grandest and most well-known of these is the Air Terjun Sindang Gila. It is a remarkable sight. The waterfall is a bit turbulent and almost fifty meters tall. However, for those who want something quiet, the Air Terjun Tiu Kelep is a better choice. The waterfall has a nice bathing pool, which is awesome for relaxation.
