East Lombok

Pringgasela, in East Lombok is easily reached from the main road to the east across the island. A turn off at Lenek leads to the small village which is steeped in tradition and is a major centre for weaving ikat. Visit the small houses and shops here to purchase traditionally woven colorful fabrics.

Tetebatu, on the southern slopes of Gunung Rinjani, is a cool mountain retreat with beautiful rice terraces, forests 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, and is a lovely place for walking or a day trip with lunch at one of the local restaurants.
