North Lombok

The Pusuk Pass

is a winding mountain road that starts in Gunungsari and drive through the tropical rain forest with its panoramic view, to Pemenang in the north. Drive up and pass the wonderful views of valleys and gorges, with rivers running through the tropical forests and small villages dotted amongst the trees. Families of grey monkeys live in the jungle and come down to the road to beg for food from passing motorists.

Pantai Sira

is further north pass Tanjung, where a small sign-posted road branches off from the main road and leads to a beautiful white-sand beach with good snorkeling on the offshore coral reef. There are great views across to the Gilis and Bali. This is also the site for the Kosaido Golf Course: a stunning world-class 18-hole golf course with magnificent views from the manicured greens.

Sendang Gile waterfall at Senaru

is a recreation place that is very spectacular, even after descending more than 200 vertical steps  down to reach the viewing point. The water cascades in a steep vertical drop down the hillside into a rocky stream below. It is popular with both locals and tourists visiting the Mt Rinjani National Park.
Guides can also be hired from the restaurant near the car park for the short trek through the jungle to the lovely Tiu Kelep waterfall nearby, where the water flows into a pool at the base, good for swimming. Climb the rocks to the hidden cave behind the falls and follow local legend that says for every pass behind the waterfall, you take one year off your age.
