Did you know Lombok
Island? Lombok Island, Nusa Tenggara Barat is one of a beautiful place in
Indonesia. Last year, I traveled there,
it’s so fun and memorable. The first time I went to holiday far enough. This trip is quite a lot of preparation,
for example booking travel tickets and decide the destination in Lombok. My
friends and I started that trip through Bali by plane. We layover almost two
days and stayed at my friend's house
in Bali while waiting for some friends who went by bus. We just walked around
in Kuta and enjoy the day in Kuta beach. To get to Lombok, we cross the sea by
feri ship start from Padang Bai harbour to Lembar harbour.
While in the ship, we can’t wait for
the main mission. Did you know what our
mission? Yeah, that’s right! The destination is Rinjani mountain.
Administratively, the mountain is located in the territory of three districts: East Lombok,
Central Lombok and West Lombok. It’s not easy to get to the top of Rinjani
mountain. This trip requires a
willingness and struggle. But, I don’t think
that I'm strong, walking
for fifteen hours to campsites. I felt my legs would fall out and I sputter
several times. Fotunately, in trip we found natural beautiful view such as
prairie, bright blue sky and certainly the hills that make us more spirit to do
this. After an exhausted trip from mountain slopes, Sembalun to campsites,
Plawangan , we finally arrived. We felt asleep after setting up tent because we were tired and it was late at
night.
Next
day, when I woke up and exit from the tent. What a beautiful it is, the sun is
shining so bright and beautiful. Especially when I got
to the
summit, the beautiful views like hidden paradise. I like this place makes me
don’t want to go home.
After
we finished go to
the top of Rinjani,
we layover in a lake, Sagara Anak. In there
we
like found the
seventh floor of
heaven. Broad and clear lake, fresh air
and new friends is things we would find there. We’ve finished conquer Rinjani
mountain. Our mission has successfully and means journey has ended. Before we
go back to Jakarta, we didn’t forget to taste one of the typical food of Lombok, Ayam Taliwang.
The flavor of Ayam Taliwang it’s really shake up the tounge, you must try it if
you go to there.
.
My
point of view, Lombok is a place that must visited because of its narural
wealth, impressive cultural and friendly
society. It makes us proud that Indonesia has the quite famous island in the world.
See you on the next trip :)
