			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://lombokinformation.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ANAKMELETUS1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-185" title="ANAKMELETUS1" src="http://lombokinformation.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/ANAKMELETUS1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mount Rinjani or Gunung Rinjani is an active volcano in Indonesia on the island of Lombok West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). It rises to 3,726 metres (12,224 ft), making it the second highest volcano in Indonesia, and similar in height to Mount Fuji.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The first historical eruption occurred in September 1847. The most recent eruption of Mount Rinjani was in May 2010 and the most recent significant eruptions occurred during a spate of activity from 1994 to 1995 which resulted in the further development of Gunung Barujari. (G.Baru). Historical eruptions at Rinjani dating back to 1847 have been restricted to Barujari cone and the Rombongan dome (in 1944) and consist of moderate explosive activity and occasional lava flows that have entered Segara Anak lake. The eruptive history of Rinjani prior to 1847 is not available as the island of Lombok is in a location that remained very remote to the record keeping of the era.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The 6 km by 8.5 km oval-shaped caldera is filled partially by the crater lake known as Segara Anak (&#8216;Child of the Sea&#8217;) This lake is approximately 2000 metres above sea level and estimated at being around 200 metres deep the caldera also contains hot springs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/sunriseview.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="sunriseview" src="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/sunriseview.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="299" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Rinjani caldera forming eruption is thought to have occurred in the 13th century. Eruption rate, eruption sites, eruptiion type and magma composition have changed during the last 10,000 years before the caldera forming eruption.[4] The eruptions of 1994 and 1995 have presented at Gunung Baru (or &#8216;New Mountain&#8217; &#8211; approximately 2300 metres above sea level) in the center of this caldera and lava flows from subsequent eruptions have entered the lake. This cone has since been renamed Mount Barujari (or &#8216;New Finger Mountain&#8217;).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The highlands are forest clad and mostly undeveloped. The lowlands are highly cultivated. Rice, soybeans, coffee, tobacco, cotton, cinnamon, cacao, cloves, cassava, corn, coconuts, copra, bananas and vanilla are the major crops grown in the fertile soils of the island. The slopes are populated by the indigenous Sasak population. There are also some basic tourist related activities established on Rinjani primarily in or about the village of Senaru.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/VIEWBERSIH1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="rinjani" src="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/VIEWBERSIH1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="334" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The volcano and the caldera are protected by the Gunung Rinjani National Park established in 1997. Tourism is increasingly popular with trekkers able to visit the rim, make their way into the caldera or even to make the more arduous climb to the highest point fatalities, however, are not uncommon. In July 2009 the summit route was closed due to volcanic activity at that time and subsequently reopened when the activity decreased. During early 2010 up to and including May 2010 access to Rinjani was at times again restricted due to volcanic activity.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On 3 November 1994, a cold lahar (volcanic mudflow) from the summit area of Rinjani volcano traveled down the Kokok Jenggak River killing thirty people from the village of Aikmel who were caught by surprise when collecting water from the river in the path of the flow.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In connection with the eruption of the cone Gunung Barujari the status for Gunung Rinjani has been raised from Normal (VEI Level 1) to &#8216;be vigilant&#8217; (VEI Level 2) since May 2, 2009 . In May 2010 Gunung Rinjani was placed in the standby status by Center for Volcanology &amp; Geological Hazard Mitigation, Indonesia with a recommendation that there be no activity within a radius of 4 km from the eruption at Gunung Barujari.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/1504031.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="150403" src="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/1504031.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="295" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Geographic summary</strong><br />
Lombok is one of the Lesser Sunda Islands, a small archipelago which, from west to east, consists of Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores, Sumba and the Timor islands; all are located at the edge of the Australian continental shelf. Volcanoes in the area are formed due to the action of oceanic crusts and the movement of the shelf itself. Rinjani is one of at least 129 active volcanoes in Indonesia, four of which belong to the volcanoes of the Sunda Arc trench system forming part of the Pacific Ring of Fire – a section of fault lines stretching from the Western Hemisphere through Japan and South East Asia. The islands of Lombok and Sumbawa lie in the central portion of the Sunda Arc. The Sunda Arc is home to some of the world&#8217;s most dangerous and explosive volcanoes. The eruption of nearby Mount Tambora on Sumbawa is known for the most violent eruption in recorded history on 15 April 1815, with a scale 7 on the VEI.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Rinjani volcano on the island of Lombok rises to 3,726 metres (12,224 ft), second in height among Indonesian volcanoes only to Sumatra&#8217;s Kerinci volcano. Rinjani has a steep-sided conical profile when viewed from the east, but the western side of the compound volcano is truncated by the 6 x 8.5 km, oval-shaped Segara Anak caldera. The western half of the caldera contains a 230 metre-deep lake whose crescentic form results from growth of the post-caldera cone Barujari at the eastern end of the caldera.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/1576081.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="157608" src="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/1576081.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="295" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Geologic summary</strong><br />
On the basis of Plate Tectonics Theory, Rinjani is one of the series of volcanoes built in the Lesser Sunda Islands due to the subduction of Indo-Australian oceanic crust beneath the Lesser Sunda Islands, and it is interpreted that the sources of melted magma is at about 165–200 km depth.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The geology and tectonic setting of Lombok (and nearby Sumbawa) are described as being in the central portion of the Sunda Arc. The oldest exposed rocks are Miocene, suggesting that subduction and volcanism began considerably later than in Java and Sumatra to the west, where there are abundant volcanic and intrusive rocks of Late Mesozoic age. The islands are located on the eastern edge of the Sunda shelf, in a zone where crustal thickness is apparently rapidly diminishing, from west to east.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/hot1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="hot spring rinjani" src="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/hot1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The seismic velocity structure of the crust in this region is transitional between typical oceanic and continental profiles and the Mohorovi?i? discontinuity (Moho) appears to lie at about 20 km.[16] These factors tend to suggest that there has been limited opportunity for crustal contamination of magmas erupted on the islands of Lombok and Sumbawa. In addition, these islands lie to the west of those parts of the eastern-most Sunda and west Banda arcs where collision with the Australian plate is apparently progressing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The volcano of Rinjani is be located between 165 and 190 km above the Benioff Zone. There is a marked offset in the line of active volcanoes between the most easterly Sumbawa Volcano (Sangeang Api) and the line of active volcano in the Flores. This suggests that a major transcurrent fault cut across the arc between Sumbawa Island and Flores. This is considered to be a feature representing a major tectonic discontinuity between the east and west Sunda Arcs (the Sumba Fracture).[19] Further. A marked absence of shallow and intermediate earthquake activity in the region to the south of Lombok and Sumbawa is a feature interpreted to represent a marked break in the Sunda Arc Zone. Faulting and folding caused strong deformation in the eastern part of Lombok Basin and is characterized by block faulting, shale diapirs and mud volcano.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/JORGEINRINJANI3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="JORGEINRINJANI" src="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/JORGEINRINJANI3.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Volcanic composition</strong><br />
In Lombok, Rinjani volcano lies approximately 300 km north of the Sunda Trench (also known as Java trench ) and is situated about 170 km above the active north dipping Benioff zone. Based on the composition of andesites which have very low Ni concentrations and low Mg/Mg+Fe It is suggested that the Rinjani suite is of mantle origin, but that all the andesites and dacites as well as many of the basalts have probably been modified by fractional crystallization processes.[25] It is concluded that the Rinjani calc-alkaline suite, which in many respects is typical of many suites erupted by circum-pacific volcanoes, probably originated by partial melting of the peridotite mantle-wedge overlying the active Benioff Zone beneath Lombok Island.The Pleistocene-Recent calcalkaline suite from the active volcano, Rinjani is composed of a diverse range of lavas. These include: ankaramite, high-Al basalt, andesite, high-K andesite and dacite. Sr-isotopic and geochemical constraints suggest that this suite was derived from the sub-arc mantle. Geochemical models suggest that fractional crystallization is an important process in the suite&#8217;s differentiation, although the series: ankaramite-high-Al basalt-andesite-dacite does not represent a continuously evolving spectrum of liquids.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Porter.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="Porter rinjani" src="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Porter.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Recent activity</strong><br />
Rinjani erupted three times on May 22rd 2010 with activity continuing until early on May 23th. According to the volcano&#8217;s official monitoring agency, ash from Mount Barujari has been reported as rising up to two km into the atmosphere and has damaged crops. The volcano is not currently threatening villagers. Lava flowed into the caldera lake, pushing its temperature up from 21°C to 35°C, while smoke spread 12 km.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In February 2010 observers at the Gunung Rinjani Observation Post located 12.5 km (4000 feet) NE of Rinjani saw one whitish-colored plume that rose 100 metres (328 ft) from the volcano. Dense whitish plumes (and possibly brown) rose 500 metres (1,640 ft) &#8211; 900 metres (2,953 ft) in March 2010 on 26 occasions and as high as 1,500 metres (4,921 ft) in April 2010 on 41 occasions. Plumes seen on 1 and 2 May 2010 were &#8220;chocolate&#8221; in color and rose a maximum height of 1,600 metres (5,249 ft). From February 2010 through April 2010 seismicity decreased, although the maximum amplitude of earthquakes increased. CVGHM (Center of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation)[31] also noted that ash eruptions and ejected incandescent material fell within Rinjani caldera, but some ash was blown out of the caldera.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/post03.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="post03" src="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/post03.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="334" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The activity in early 2010 centred about Gunung Barujari a post-caldera cone that lies within the Rinjani&#8217;s caldera lake of Segara Anak. The Volcanological Survey of Indonesia reported on 1 May 2010, that a column of smoke was observed rising from G. Rinjani &#8220;issuing eruptions 1300-1600 metres tall with thick brown color and strong pressure&#8221;. Their report Evaluasi Kegiatan G. Rinjani of 4 May also stated that on 1 May 2010 at 10:00 four events of Explosve Earthquake were recorded with a maximum amplitude of 6-53 mm and 110 seconds long earthquake, earthquake tremor events with a maximum amplitude of 1 mm and 55 second long duration, 15 Local Tectonic earthquake events and two events of tectonic earthquake. The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) Alert Level was raised to 2 (on a scale of 1-4) on 2 May 2010.[33] Level 1 is &#8220;Normal&#8221; and Level 2 is &#8220;Advisory&#8221; with an Aviation Alert color of Yellow-Advisory.[34]Based on analysis of satellite imagery, the Darwin VAAC (Volcanic Ash Advisory Center) reported that on 5 May a possible ash plume from Rinjani rose to an altitude of 5.5 km (18,000 ft) a.s.l. and drifted 150 km NW. The plume was not seen in imagery about six hours later. CVGHM (Center of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation) advised the VAAC that intermittent activity could produce ash plumes to 1.5 km (5,000 ft) above the caldera.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On 27 April 2009 Gunung Barujari became active with activity continuing through to May 2009. The mountain was closed at that time as the eruptions intensified with plumes of smoke and ash as high as 8,000 m (26,250 ft). A Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI):2 rating was issued for the activity between 2 May 2009 and 20 December 2009. The activity during this period was described as having the characteristics:of central vent eruption, flank (excentric) vent, explosive eruption and lava flow(s).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/rim111.png"><img class="aligncenter" title="rim11" src="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/rim111.png" alt="" width="500" height="280" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Previous activity</strong><br />
On 27 September 2004 a DVGHM (Directorate of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation) report noted the decision to increase Rinjani&#8217;s hazard status to Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) Alert Level 2 (Yellow). During the last third of 2004, the number of volcanic and tectonic earthquakes had increased. Their increase followed a rise in the number of tectonic earthquakes that began 18 August 2004. Tremor registered on 23, 24, 25, and 26 September 2004. Tremor amplitudes ranged between 12 and 13.5 mm, and the duration of the tremor stood between 94 and 290 seconds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In September 1995 an aviation report was issued concerning an unconfirmed ash cloud from Rinjani. A NOTAM about volcanic activity from Rinjani was issued by the Bali Flight Information Region on the morning of 12 September. An ash cloud was reportedly drifting to the south west with the cloud top around 4 km altitude.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/porter2.png"><img class="aligncenter" title="porter2" src="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/porter2.png" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On 3 November 1994, a cold lahar (volcanic mudflow) from the summit area of Rinjani volcano traveled down the Kokok Jenggak River killing thirty people from the village of Aikmel who were caught by surprise when collecting water from the river in the path of the flow. One person remained missing as of 9 November 1994. No damage to the village was reported. Local volcanologists noted that additional lahars could be triggered by heavy rainfall.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">During 4 June 1994-January 1995 the DVGHM (Directorate of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation) noted that explosions occurred on Rinjani. Those explosions came from the Barujari volcano.[42] At 0530 on 1 October 2004 Rinjani erupted. The eruption caused authorities to immediately raise the hazard status to Alert Level 3 (Orange). Details regarding the initial 1 October 2004 eruption are indistinct. During 2-5 October 2004 explosions sent ash columns ~300 to 800 metres above the summit. Gray, thick ash columns drifted to the north and detonation sounds accompanied every explosion. Successive explosions occurred at intervals of 5 to 160 minutes. Explosions vented on the north eastern slope of Barujari volcano. Some material also vented from Barujari&#8217;s peak and fell down around its edifice. A press report in the Jakarta Post indicated that evacuations were not considered necessary.[43] A Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI):2 rating was issued for the activity between 1 May 2004 through to (on or after) 5 October 2004.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/RIM.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="RIM" src="http://rinjanimountain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/RIM.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Between 3 June 1994 and 21 November 1994 records of Rinjani&#8217;s eruptive history indicate activity accorded Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) with a rating of 3(?) with the area of activity described as Gunung Barujari. Eruptive characteristics documented for the events of that time are described as, central vent eruption with an explosive eruption, with pyroclastic flow(s), lava flow(s), fatalities and mudflow(s) (lahars).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In May 1994 a glow was noticed on the crater floor of Barujari cone, which at this time had undergone no significant activity since August 1966. A portable seismograph (PS-2) and telemetry seismograph (Teledyne) were put into operation on 27 May and 9 June, respectively. One volcanic earthquake event/day was recorded on 27, 28, 30, and 31 May. After 4 June, however, volcanic tremor with a maximum amplitude of 35 mm was recorded, presumably associated with the upward movement of magma. At 0200 on 3 June1994, Barujari cone began erupting by sending an ash plume 500 m high. One 8 June 1994 press report described emission of &#8220;smoldering lava&#8221; and &#8220;thick smoke,&#8221; as well as ashfall in nearby villages from an ash cloud rising 1,500 m above the summit. Between 3 and 10 June 1994, up to 172 explosions could be heard each day from the Sembalun Lawang volcano observatory (~15 km NE). During this period, seismic data indicated a dramatic increase in the number of explosions per day, from 68 to 18,720. Eruptions were continuous at least through 19 June 1994, with maximum ash plume heights of 2,000 m on 9-11 June 1994.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Between 28 March 1966 and 8 August 1966 records of Rinjani&#8217;s eruptive history indicate activity accorded a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) rating of 1. Lava volume of 6.6 x 106 m3 and a tephra volume of 2 x 104 m3 was recorded. The area of activity described was the east side of Barujari (2250 m). Eruptive characteristics were documented as a central vent eruption, explosive eruption and lava flow(s).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In December 1944 Rinjani appears to have had a significant event. Between December 25 1944 and 1 January 1945 eruptive activity is rated 2 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) The event has been listed in the historical records of the Global Volcanism Program indicating a lava volume: of 7.4 x 107 m3 occurring in an area of activity on the north west flank of Barujari (Rombongan). The eruptive characteristics are described a central vent eruption on the flank (excentric) vent, a crater lake eruption, explosive eruption, lava flow(s) and a lava dome extrusion with associated damage to land, property.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: right;"><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://lombokinformation.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/trawangangili.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-97" title="trawangan gili" src="http://lombokinformation.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/trawangangili.png" alt="" width="500" height="331" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Gili Trawangan is the largest of Lombok&#8217;s Gili Islands and is the only one to rise significantly above sea level. It is 3km long and 2km wide with a population of about 700. Of the Gilis, Trawangan has the most tourist facilities; the pub Tîr na Nôg claims that Trawangan is the smallest island in the world with an Irish pub. The most crowded part of Trawangan lies on the eastern side. It is administered under Lombok Barat Regency along with Senggigi Beach.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On Gili Trawangan (as well as the other two Gilis), there are no motorized vehicles. The main means of transportation are bicycles (rented by locals to tourists) and cidomo (a small horsedrawn carriage). For traveling to and from each of the Gilis, locals usually use motorized boats and speedboats.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="gili trawangan lombok" src="http://lomboksailing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/gilias.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="332" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some of the first inhabitants of Gili Trawangan were from Sulawesi who are fishermen and farmers. Previously Gili Trawangan was covered in forest and deer lived on the island. (Source: Inhabitants of Gili Trawangan — no printed source available)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The economy of Gili Trawangan centres on tourism, as the island is too small to support any broad scale agriculture, and too remote to allow economically viable industry or commerce.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="3 gili islands in lombok" src="http://lomboksailing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/3gili.png" alt="" width="500" height="331" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are now seven dive operators on the island which run a full range of PADI courses, starting from the Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) course or the Open Water, right up to Instructor courses at certain times during the year. The schools organise Fun Dives with local dive masters who have a wealth of knowledge about each site.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There seems to be a dive centre for everyone, whether you like the hustle and bustle of a big busy school like Blue Marlin or Manta Dive, or more relaxed smaller groups at laid back schools such as Vila Ombak Diving Academy and Trawangan Dive. There are also some schools which are more tailored to French speaking divers (Big Bubble) and German speaking divers (Dream Divers).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="beach_in 3 gili islands lombok" src="http://lomboksailing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/beach_in_3gili.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="334" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The diving is very easy and varies from walls, slopes and plateaus. The maximum depths at many of the sites range from 24m-18m, making it perfect for beginners and more experienced divers alike. Almost all the dive sites can be reached by boat in 10 minutes and all the dive shops are located on the beach front making access very easy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some of the fascinating marine life you may see include: black and white tip sharks, turtles, frog fish, leaf fish, ghost pipe fish, moray and ribbon eels, pygmy seahorse, eagle rays, octopus, cuttlefish, snakes and bumphead parrot fish.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>SNORKELING</strong><br />
Snorkeling in the waters off Gili Trawangan is very easy and doesn’t require a boat. Simply walk into the clear blue waters from the beach and you’re away! The main snorkeling area is along the main beach area, but there are other less busy areas with great snorkeling to be found up and down the east and northeast sides of the island.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="beaches of gili trawangan in lombok" src="http://lomboksailing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/beachhousegili.png" alt="" width="500" height="334" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Along the main beach front there is usually an easy current which takes you along making snorkeling all the more easy as you drift with the current, get out at the end, and walk back up the beach and start again.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A host of amazing marine life can be found while snorkeling, ranging from parrot fish, moorish idols and puffer fish, to barracuda, trumpet fish and baby cuttlefish, and if you’re really lucky, turtles!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Masks, snorkels, fins and life jackets can be found for rent all along the beach front.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>BOAT TRIPS</strong><br />
If, heaven forbid, you’re getting a little bored on Gili Trawangan, hiring a boat and snorkeling of it around all three of the islands (Gili Air, Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan) makes for a fun day out. You can also take in the Bird Park and Beatles museum on Gili Meno, and have lunch on Gili Air at Vila Karang, where the pizzas are delicious! (Phone in advance for pizzas at lunch time so the oven can be fired up: 0813 3990 4440)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="gili trawangan lombok island" src="http://lomboksailing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/gili.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="296" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you don’t enjoy swimming or snorkeling, but still want to see what’s going on under the surface of the water, then you can always take a Glass Bottom Boat trip. From the comfort of the boat you get a glimpse of some of the fishes, and even the turtles, swimming underneath.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>HORSE RIDING</strong><br />
BaliKana Hotel and Stud are the two ‘stables’ on the island. You can arrange to take a horse out for an hour or more and ride around the island and along the beach. A guide will either accompany you on another horse or on foot. Most of the horses are actually ponies, although there are one of two larger horses.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="gili islands lombok" src="http://lomboksailing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/gilis-500x333.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>KAYAKING</strong><br />
Kayaks are available to hire at a couple of locations along the beach area. If you’re feeling very energetic and want to try to kayak over to Gili Meno, beware of the currents which can be very strong – and don’t forget you’ll have to come back over again!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>SURFING</strong><br />
While it doesn’t draw huge crowds of surfers, when the winds are right there is some good surfing to be found. There’s a crowd of local surfers on the island who have all the useful local knowledge, and who knows, maybe they’ll come along and lend you their boards.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Trawangan island of lombok" src="http://lomboksailing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/TRAWA-500x374.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="374" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>SPA/MASSAGE</strong><br />
If you want to indulge yourself there are at least two spas on Gili Trawangan who can pamper you with massages, facials, reflexology, hair treatment manicures and pedicures and even waxing. The higher end spa is located at Vila Ombak Hotel, while the other is nearer the beach area.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Individual masseuse also offer their services on the island and signs can be found dotted around the main strip informing of their details.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://lombokinformation.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/menogili.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-94" title="meno gili" src="http://lombokinformation.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/menogili.png" alt="" width="500" height="331" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Gili Meno is the middle of Lombok&#8217;s three Gilis. It has a population of about 400, mainly concentrated on the center of the island. The main income of the population comes from tourism, coconut plantation and fishing. On the west side of the island there is a small shallow lake that produces salt in the dry season. Until a few years ago there was also a small production of seaweed on the reef at the north end of the island. It has swimming beaches all around the island, as well as an impressive bird sanctuary.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The island attracts fewer tourists than Gili Trawangan and is the quietest and smallest of the Gilis. However, honeymooners are often drawn to the crystal clear water and idyllic, secluded white beaches.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is no fresh water on the island, it is imported daily. Electricity is supplied by generators, although there are plans for renewable energy sources to be developed. There are also no cars or motorbikes and only a limited number of tourist accommodation options.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Gili_Meno lombok" src="http://lomboksailing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Gili_Meno.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The second island between G. Air and G. Trawangan. The most quiet island and probably the water is cleanest.<br />
Electricity is available 24 hours but very unstable. The water system has not been installed to this island therefore most of cheap hotels use light salty water and only expensive hotels buy pure water from the main land but most</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The boats from Lombok arrive at the East coast of the island. The accommodation is spread m ainly to S(left as you land) and some to North</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Gili Meno is the middle of Lombok&#8217;s famous three Gilis. It has a population of about 400, mainly concentrated on the center of the island. The main income of the population comes from tourism, coconut plantation and fishing. On the west side of the island there is a small shallow lake that produces salt in the dry season.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With a population of just 300, Gili Meno is the mellowest of the three islands, and certainly the most in-tune with a desert island ethic. The beaches are much nicer than you will find on Gili Trawangan and Gili Air.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="gili_meno_beach" src="http://lomboksailing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/gili_meno_beach.png" alt="" width="500" height="225" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A coastal path leads all the way around the island, and can be covered at a very leisurely pace in 90 minutes. Most of the tourist facilities, including the boat arrival and departure point, are on the southern part of the east coast.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is a lake on the western side of the middle of the island. This is sometimes quite full, and at others very dry. It is though always very saline.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Gili_Meno_West_Coast" src="http://lomboksailing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Gili_Meno_West_Coast.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>HOW TO GET THERE:<br />
From Lombok</strong><br />
Public boats depart from Bangsal between 8AM-5PM, take about 30 minutes, and cost Rp 10,000. They depart only when there are enough people (normally a minimum of 15). Dedicated boats to Gili Meno are few and far between, and best looked for early in the mornings and mid-afternoon. The boat office at Bangsal will though make sure you get dropped off by a Gili Trawangan-bound boat if necessary. A chartered boat from Bangsal to Gili Meno will cost about Rp 200,000.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Perama  has a tiny office (tel:+62 370 632824) on Gili Meno at Kontiki Cottage. They offer daily transfers to and from Senggigi, but these may not run direct outside the peak seasons, and you may be diverted to Gili Trawangan.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="gili meno lombok" src="http://lomboksailing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/gilis1-500x333.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>From Gili Trawangan and Gili Meno</strong><br />
Public inter-island boats run twice daily. The morning boat leaves Gili Air at about 8:30AM arriving in Meno at 8.45AM. The same boat goes onto Gili Trawangan picking up there at 9.30AM, and returning to Gili Meno at 9:45AM. The afternoon boat runs the same route leaving Gili Air at 3PM and Gili Trawangan at about 3:30PM. The fare from either of the other islands to Gili Meno should be about Rp 20,000, but is prone to impromptu fluctuations.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A charter boat from Gili Trawangan or Gili Meno will cost about Rp 200,000 &#8211; a relatively huge sum of money for a 10 minute ride.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>WHAT TO SEE:</strong><br />
It is hard to imagine why anyone on Gili Meno would want to do anything other than walk. Do just that, slowly. Horse carts (cidomos) are available though, and are useful for getting you and your bags to and from the boat landing. A single trip should cost Rp 40,000-60,000.<br />
<strong><br />
*  Gili Meno Turtle Sanctuary</strong><br />
A splendid initiative whereby green sea turtle and loggerhead turtle eggs are collected, hatched, and the younglings safely released into the ocean. In 2008 and 2009, a total of 2,000 turtles were released. Go along, see the work and lend your support. Donation.  edit</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>* Taman Burung (Bird Park)</strong><br />
Sadly, this aviary is not as well kept as it was, and the formerly very popular komodo dragon died in 2007. Still worth a visit though, with a large range of birds present. Rp 50,000.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="gili meno islands of lombok" src="http://lomboksailing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/sumnbawa.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>WHAT TO DO:<br />
Diving:</strong><br />
<strong>Blue Marlin,</strong><br />
This is the only dive shop actually on Gili Meno. It is a full blown operation though, with the same range of PADI courses and fun dives as are offered on the other islands.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Snorkelling</strong><br />
There are several good spots for snorkelling, and gear can hired at almost any cafe or hotel for about Rp 30,000. The beach in front of Good Heart Cafe on the north western shore is as good as any, and you have a reasonable chance of seeing turtles in shallow water here. Also on the west coast, try the area close to the disused, derelict jetty (formerly the landing point for the equally derelict Bounty Resort). The former pontoon here was sunk and has become an important dive site with a healthy reef life. If you snorkel off the east coast, be careful of boat traffic.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Walking</strong><br />
A gentle stroll around the coast path of Gili Meno is not to be missed, and it is probably the nicest walk anywhere on the three islands. If you do this in the morning, there is no real preferred starting point. It is a nice idea to walk in the late afternoon, starting in the northwest at about 4:30PM, taking it easy to walk all the way around the island in either direction, returning to your start point at about 5:45PM. Then get yourself set for sunset behind Gili Trawangan (6:15PM-6:45PM), perhaps stationed at Good Heart Cafe with an ice cold Bintang.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="beach of gili island lombok" src="http://lomboksailing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/beach22.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="331" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>WHAT TO BUY:</strong><br />
There is no ATM, nor is there much to buy on Gili Meno. If you run out of cash, Blue Marlin is probably the only option for a credit card cash advance, and they charge a 10% commission.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>WHERE TO EAT:</strong><br />
Unsurprisingly, fish is the go here and many cafes set up a seafood barbecues every evening. Just choose what you want and wait while it is cooked over an open wood grill. The other widesperad option is wood-fired pizza which has become something of a Gili Meno speciality.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Most of the cafes are clustered in the southern half of the east coast and many are attached to hotels. After you have ordered, be patient as nothing happens very fast here. That is all part of the charm of the place.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">* Aroma Cafe,  Well prepared wood-fired pizzas are the deal here.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">* Good Heart, Serves good local dishes and is located directly on the beach overlooking the sea. This hotel and restaurant is a bit off the beaten track, on the northeast side of the island. You can take the track around the island or a shortcut across the middle to get there. If you are not staying here, this might be a better choice for lunch as walking through the island in the dark may not be comfortable for some travelers. Rp 20,000-70,000.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">* Jali Cafe, Serves Sasak food and it is quite authentic. The chicken curry is excellent, as is the obligatory fish barbecue every evening The old Gili Island ethic is very much still alive here. Expect the locals to be strumming a few Bob Marley tunes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">* Rust Warung,  Probably the best known eatery on the island, and the one that attracts some sort of crowd, even when there are few visitors around. Fresh fish everyday, and as elsewhere on Meno, there is no real need to even think about eating anything else. Rp 20,000-100,000.  edit</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">* Yaya Warung. Choose your fish and let Yon cook it on the open fire. Inexpensive, expect to pay around Rp 40,000 for a fresh fish with nasi goreng and vegetables. If the fish all gets too much, they have a pasta menu, and make a passable job of preparing it. Nasi goreng is Rp 10,000 and fresh juices around Rp 8,000. About 100m north of the boat landing. Slow service, but a chat with the owner and the view will distract you</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Gili_Meno_Beach" src="http://lomboksailing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Gili_Meno_Beach1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>WHERE TO DRINK:</strong><br />
Nightlife is very laid back here, and somedays you might not notice any at all. This is very much the anti-Trawangan.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">* Diana Cafe, ? +62 818 0577622. Very good choice for a sunset beer or cocktail and somedays it goes on until quite late here. The beruga pavilions are comfortable and allow you to look right at the setting sun.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>WHERE TO STAY:</strong><br />
In general terms, accommodation on Meno is more expensive than on Gili Air and Gili Trawangan, and the standards of service distinctly lower.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Budget<br />
* Amber House</strong><br />
Popular circular bungalows on the north coast. Set back from beach in a very quiet spot. A good choice if you really want to be away from it all. From Rp 450,000.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>* Tao Kombo</strong><br />
These budget bungalows away from the beach have been around a long time. They are a bit worn and distinctly rough and ready, but that does not seem out of place on Gili Meno. Probably the most popular backpacker option on the island. Backpacker huts from €14, bungalows from € 30.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>* The Sunset Gecko. </strong><br />
A Japanese-owned small resort, with a couple of cabins and one beachside family house. Rooms are simple and clean, great atmosphere and they do their best to be eco-friendly Rp 250,000-450,000</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Mid-range<br />
* Biru Meno</strong><br />
Nice quality bungalows on the south coast, with verandahs and decent bathrooms. About a 10 minute stroll from the boat loading point. From US$ 50.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>* Hotel Gazebo</strong><br />
The ten individual cottages here are a bit run down, but the location near the southeast beaches is very nice indeed. Choice of fan-colled or air-conditioned rooms. Has a communal pool right by the beach. US$60-95.<br />
<strong><br />
* Kontiki Cottage</strong><br />
You will enjoy staying here due to the location, right by one of the best bits of beach anywhere on the 3 islands. You will also wish they had thought about the design a bit more, and tried a lot harder. The cheaper rooms are fan-cooled and there is quite a premium if you want air-conditioning. Rp 475,000-700,000.<br />
<strong><br />
* Malia&#8217;s Child</strong><br />
Very cute looking thatched roof bungalows on the east coast near the boat harbour. Right on a lovely stretch of white sand beach. From US$ 60.<br />
<strong><br />
* Royal Reef Cottages (formerly Janur Indah)</strong><br />
Thatched roof bungalows set in nice gardens very close to the boat landing. Each bungalow has its own little private terrace and ceiling fan, but no air-conditioning. A few steps from here and you are on the beach. From US$ 48.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Splurge<br />
* Villa Nautilus</strong><br />
The swankiest accommodation on Gili Meno. Five detached villas which are fairly well appointed. Guests might wonder why they fitted those ugly tiled roofs when such good natural materials are available here. Still, a nice enough option. From US$ 95 &#8211; 150</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Stay healthy</strong><br />
There is small, simple clinic with an attendant nurse in the middle of the island next to Taman Burung. While this is fine for dealing with a minor ailment or injury, any visitor with a more serious problem needs to get back to Lombok, or better Bali, as quickly as possible.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Gili Air is the smallest of the Gilis and it&#8217;s closest to the Lombok mainland, making it popular with honeymoon couples and travelers seeking a quiet retreat. It has a population of about 1,000 and administratively lies in the West Nusa Tenggara province. The island offers excellent snorkeling and scuba diving off its east coast, and turtles can be seen along the coral reef.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The island still maintains its rural charm, as tourism is relatively new. In the early eighties it was backpackers who first discovered the three little islands of Air, Meno and Trawanggan, (gili, means small island) and basically not much has changed on Gili Air since then except that the level of services and facilities has grown little by little over the years.<br />
Coconut Cottages and The Frangipani Garden Restaurant are located in a Coconut grove on the east coast of Gili Air only 100m from the beach where you can enjoy some of the best snorkeling on the island. Coconut was opened in 1992 by Kamil and his Scottish wife Elaine and together with their family hope to make your stay on the island relaxing and enjoyable.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://giliislandvillas.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/giliair12.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="gili air" src="http://giliislandvillas.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/giliair12.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="367" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The island of Gili Air is, with approximately 1,800 inhabitants, the most densely populated island of the archipelago made up of three small atolls (Gili Air, Gili Meno and Gili Trawangan). The local inhabitants (the Sasak) are very kind and hospitable to tourists.<br />
Muslim is the prevailing religion, and is observed assiduously by the inhabitants of the island. Their religious ideas are in no way disturbed by the comparison with other cultures, customs and different uses, above all from western cultures.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://giliislandvillas.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/giliair.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="gili air" src="http://giliislandvillas.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/giliair.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The island economy has only recently been transformed from the fish market to a prevalently tourist market. There are continually new small resorts and restaurants springing up, which last just one season, whilst others, with greater experience, manage to establish themselves, and provide modest and primitive services that are of great interest to the tourists arriving on the island, in search of primitive adventures.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://giliislandvillas.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/gili_air1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="gili_air" src="http://giliislandvillas.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/gili_air1.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="323" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A holiday on the island of Gili Air will long be impressed on the visitor&#8217;s mind, as a kind of &#8216;Terrestrial Paradise&#8217; that still exists on earth</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Sasak are worth noting for their splendid rites and their beautiful dances.<br />
On the island, the only means of transport are the cidomo, which are small horse-drawn carts that transport people from one part of the island to another.<br />
Gili Air has rich tropical vegetation, with many coconut palm trees, and is one of the most beautiful and still unpolluted natural areas.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The village of Senaru, an easy 2.5 hours drive from Mataram or Senggigi, is the main access to the National Park. As a non-trekking destination it is also popular &#8211; a cool, flower-filled mountain village stretching along a hillside spur above Bayan. Senaru has a range of accommodation in simple home stays (losmen), and a number of cafes serving delicious local specialties. The Rinjani Trek Centre at the trailhead offers displays, ecotourism activities, and visitor information. Village guides, including several local women, escort visits to the adjacent traditional village, three waterfalls, and a number of Village Walks. Circuits include the one hour Rice Terraces and Waterfall Walk, or discover the highlights of Senaru in a lovely half-day Senaru Panorama Walk.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The cool, flower-filled mountain village of Senaru on the slopes of Mt. Rinjani stretches up a hillside spur along a winding road above Bayan. It is a scenic 2.5 hours drive from Mataram or Senggigi to Senaru. The Desa includes the hamlets of Senaru, Batu Koq and Tumpang Sari, and all offer accommodation in simple but pretty homestays (losmen) with lovely views.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Rinjani Trek Centre is located at the top of the village at the trailhead. It offers information for visitors on the Rinjani Trek, the National Park, Sasak culture and the range of ecotourism activities available for visitors to Senaru. National Park and village entry fees are paid here, and all porters for trekkers have to be hired from the Senaru Porters Group which is also based in the Rinjani Trek Centre. Village guides, including several local women, have been specially trained to escort visitors around the sights. Arrange a guided excursion through the Rinjani Trek Centre or your losmen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Senaru Traditional Village</strong><br />
A visit to the Senaru Traditional Village, situated next to the Rinjani Trek Centre where the Rinjani trail begins, is greatly enhanced by asking a local guide to show you around. The Sasak inhabitants are the cultural guardians of Mount Rinjani and its surrounding forest and safeguard its spiritual values. Locally guided visits include opportunities to experience the villagers’ daily life, visit their thatched houses, prepare meals using local produce, and understand their traditional way of life.<br />
<strong><br />
Morning waterway walk and sunrise</strong><br />
Leave your losmen early for a one and a half hour escorted walk through the fields, past traditional villages and along the irrigation channel that winds through village fields past crops and houses. Enjoy visiting local homes, seeing early morning activities and learning about farming methods. Witness the sun rising from the sea beneath the spectacular sweeping views of north Lombok from the summit of Mt. Rinjani to the coast.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Evening walk and sunset</strong><br />
Below the Senaru Traditional Village, a one and half hour escorted walk along village trails brings you to the “secret waterfall” or “traditional swimming pool”, the Tumpasan Senaru. Enjoy a refreshing swim or late afternoon laze. On the return trip, visit some local hamlets as the people return from their fields, and enjoy the sunset over Mt. Agung in distant Bali from a vantage point in a local orchard.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Senaru panorama walk</strong><br />
Discover all the highlights of Senaru on an easy half-day walk through the scenic landscape of palm-fringed rice terraces, waterways, traditional village and rainforest waterfalls. Follow the irrigation channel that winds through the village fields &#8211; the lifeline of the district. Local women will guide you, happy to share their special knowledge of culture, customs and nature. This tour departs every morning from the Rinjani Trek Centre.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>SEMBALUN LAWANG</strong><br />
Sembalun Lawang is set in an ancient and fertile caldera to the east of Mt. Rinjani, the preferred access route for summiteers. The rich soil produces high quality market garden crops, including the famous garlic and rice, staple of local farmers. Seismic activity is monitored daily at the government Rinjani Volcanology Centre.<br />
The beautiful valley of Sembalun is also known for its hill walks, recently restored traditional village, active cultural performers and local weavers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some home stay (losmen) accommodation is available and trek services are based at the Park’s Rinjani Information Centre. Also enquire about the local walks: the Sembalun Lawang Village Walk, to experience the scenic beauty of the village or/and the Sembalun Wildflowers Walk, a two day one night hike to see the wildflowers at Propok in Gunung Rinjani National Park.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Sembalun Area</strong><br />
Sembalun is divided into two villages, namely Sembalun Lawang village and Sembalun Bumbung village which are 2 km apart. The two villages are well known traditional villages have a lot of history about the Sasak people. The area looks like a dry lake, transformed into a fertile land.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sembalun as a tourism object is already well known inside and outside the country, because from this village climbers begin the hike to the top of Mount Rinjani to enjoy the beautiful sights. At Sembalun Lawang village there is a Beleq village where one can see the artefacts of traditional houses of the local Sembalun people, the grave of Majapahit or Gajah Mada and the traditional Tandang Mendet dance of the local people.<br />
There is a big statue in Lawang of two big ‘onions’ indicating that this area was once one of the biggest producers of onion (bawang bombai) / garlic (bawang putih) / shallot (bawang merah) in Indonesia.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In Lawang is the Rinjani Information Centre. Nearby is the Rinjani Volcanology Centre. To the west, there is a major greenhouse project using soil and hydroponics techniques there, producing vegetables for local and export markets.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Sapit</strong><br />
Just off the way to Sembalun, Sapit is a combination of beautiful sights, agriculture, and mountains. The traditional society in this village ploughs agricultural land and garden with their traditional ways. There is accommodation there with brilliant views across the rice fields to the coast and Sumbawa Island. You can take walks to various interesting places.</p>

The decent from the Sembalun crater rim is amidst the pine-like Casuarina species locally known is Cemara, perhaps seeing evidence of wild pigs and the long tailed gray macaque monkeys.</p>
<p>After about 3 ½ hours, reach post 3 Pada Balong, through grass land used at couple cattle grazing by local people. Mt. Rinjani summit towers above us, Indonesia’s second highest volcanic peak. From here is beautiful view of Sembalun Lawang and Sembalun Bumbung villages, known for coffee production until the crop was changed to garlic to take the advantage of the garlic boom in early 1990s. the road head is reached after in another 4 hour gentle descent through open country, and the trek ends at Rinjani Informations center at Sembalun Lawang and directly transfer to your hotel in senggigi.</p>
