Tetebatu is a peaceful pocket of Lombok nestled in the valley surrounding Mount Rinjani, amidst forests, tobacco plantations and tiered green rice terraces. Scattered with tiny Sasak villages, it’s a brilliant place to get a peek into authentic Lombok. You’ll spend two nights in Tetebatu learning about local pottery, wandering along shady hiking trails and soaking up the scenery.

Day 1 – Arrival in Tetebatu

Today you’ll travel to Tetebatu, a small village nestled at the foot of Mount Rinjani surrounded by green rice paddies. Hike to two waterfalls that come crashing down the south side of Mount Rinjani into the green valley below. It’s a strenuous hike, but there’s a refreshing reward at the end. In Tetebatu you’ll stay in a small cottage amidst the rice paddies surrounded by tall, waving trees.

Days 2-3 – Sasak tour & departure

This morning, you’ll visit a handful of traditional craft villages and get a glimpse in to rural Lombok life. Travel on foot along the rims of the rice paddies by cidomo (horse and cart) and by car to a small community where you’ll see the women and children weaving colourful rugs. You’ll have lunch with the local guide who will show you around the village.

The next day you’ll gather your things and get ready to hit the road again.
