Arrive at Gili Layar and it will fascinate you by beautiful scenery, pure weather, white sand and serenity of the little island. Very few people visit this Gili which makes it calm and quiet and suitable for relax at the seashore. There is no public facility on the island, only one inn for sleeping and relaxing. Nice white sandy beaches and palm trees and even more stunning scenery can be found under water where a colorful sea garden and bountiful marine life fill the seas which makes it a great place for snorkelling. Midday, take a break from island exploring and we make a short boat ride to the Gili Rengit where we have lunch of grilled fish prepared by the boatman crew on the beach a few meters away from the gently rippling sea. Spread your towel on the sand and relax a bit or go for a stroll along the quiet beach. Gili Rengit is also known as mysterious island, it is abandoned by people. Until today, this island is still empty, altough has very potential for living due to it’s fertile soil, permanent harbor and also it has a mini bar and restaurant. Return to Lombok from Gili Rengit, where the car will be waiting for you at the port. There is possibility to take fresh water shower to rinse the salt before driving back to the hotel.

Tetebatu is a lovely mountain village, 700m above sea level on the south slopes of Mount Rinjani in East Lombok. It is a cool mountain retreat with beautiful rice terraces, forest and bright green fields of crops and tobacco on the surrounding slopes. It’s wet and misty during rainy season, cool and lush during the dry season, and is a lovely place for walking or a day trip. We will pick you up from hotel at 9.00am. Drive for about 2 hours, meet with your local guide at the starting point. He will lead your way across the rice fields and plantations and fruit gardens. Depending on the season different crops are grown, such as chilies, tobacco, and fruits like Rambutan, Jackfruit or Guavas. Farmers are busy with seeding, ploughing or harvesting and a trek through the fields and forests gives an idea of the everyday life in a rural community. If you lucky you may see wild black monkey jumping from tree to tree, before you arrive at the scenic waterfall. Arrive at the waterfall, if you want you can have shower there. Lunch at local restaurant with traditional local menu.
