Rice Field Wander

 For thousands of years the people of Lombok have cultivated their rich volcanic soil to grow rice. The terraced landscape conjours images of Sasak life over the millenia. Explore vibrant green rice fields where villagers have lived and worked for centuries. An ancient irrigation system nourishes Lombok's most important crop. From June to August  there will be an opportunity to experience the traditional way of harvesting rice. 

The tour starts at the Endut traditional Market where you can sample fresh fruit and local produce. From there we travel to Nirbaya village to see villagers making baskets using the traditional rottan weaving method. This is where your stroll thru the surrounding rice fields will begin. Discover the rich, lush country side and watch villagers work the feilds before lunch at a traditional Warung Sate Bulayak ( traditional cafe serving steamed rice covered with coconut leaf )

Nearby there is a chance to bathe and swim in a crystal clear spring fed pool used by locals. Just a short distance away is Lingsar temple,one of 3 temples built by the Balinese Prince Anak Agung, in 1491. Lingsar is unique in that it is a place where the people of Lombok can worship both Sasak and Hindu deities. Your local guide will explain the historic and religious significance of this ancient holy site.
