Road to Soul Writing

When I was in primary, I joined scout girl. This club gave my first camping experience. It tested my wings as a young student. It has built up my curiosity toward nature to listen, to love and to enjoy it. Here are five best spots that you can camp at in Lombok. 1. Rinjani National Park Along the trek, Rinjani provides various ranges of spot from the alley to hill top or by the lake to waterfall front area.                                                    2. Pergasingan Hilltop If you want to enjoy Rinjani from different view, Pergasingan is one of the best choices. Every week this place is always filled by visitors. Its height reaches 1700 meters above sea level. Night sky with thousands stars up Rinjani will accompany your night.  3. Nauli Bungalow Spending some nights at Nauli camping ground will spoil you with natural beauty. Rinjani just stands before you. At the back, Pergasingan, Dara and other hills are in line which create perfect fusion of

Jln. Raya Senggigi, Desa Kerandangan, Lombok Barat Trekking merupakan aktivitas yang menjadi ciri khas utama Taman Wisata Kerandangan. Pesona hutan tropis sepanjang jalan, hewan-hewan yang hidup liar dan aliran dua air terjun memberikan gambaran keanekaragaman hayati dan nabati yang dimiliki Indonesia.Trekking di Taman Wisata Kerandangan? Pertama kali mendengarnya membuat saya senang bukan main. Pertama karena ini akan menjadi pengalaman pertama saya menjelajahi Taman Wisata Tersebut dan kedua tempat ini tidak jauh dari tempat tinggal saya.  Pagi itu langit biru bersih. Di sepanjang jalan saya hanya terdiam menyaksikan birunya pantai di sepanjang laut barat Lombok. Semakin lambat Ade Nilam mengendarai motor, Lombok terasa semakin indah.   Dalam waktu yang singkat kami telah berada di area gapura yang bertuliskan “Selamat Datang di Taman Wisata Alam Kerandangan”.

If you came to Lombok you will not only be able to experience Lombok life but at the same time you will also taste the twist of Bali. Lombok was colonized by Balinese Kingdom in the past. As a result, Lombok hosts about 10% of Hindus and about 90% of Muslims. The twist of Bali in Lombok is clearly portrayed by some tradition, temples and or some historical sites.  In the northern part of Senggigi hides unfamous little temple called Kaprusan. This 200 m2 temple stands firmly on the black rocks under some big trees. This temple was built in the 7 th century by Danghyang Dwi Jendra—the one who introduced Hindus teaching in Lombok for the first time. For Danghyang Dwi Jendra Kaprusan is the second point where his boat anchored. He sailed from Bali to Malimbu then to Kaprusan which was in the past known as Tanjung Bukur. He continued his journey to Batu Bolong, Batu Layar and traveled to the heart of Lombok. Parting from its function as a sacred place, Kaprusan is also k

Some people mostly think travelling is costly especially if your destination is far faraway place. It is even worse if you do solo travelling and only have travel guide in your hand.

I was in cold and wet but my legs couldn’t stop walking until I stood before a superb extraordinary waterfall. The challenging trek, the heavy rain and the misty forest were fully worth to pass to reach this divine beauty. The water that fell creates abstract titanium white moving waters that stoned the little pool under echoing sounds of its beauty. Million drops were falling, flying and vanished in the air. Skeper was super high water fall. It is about 80 meters. This height allowed me to see the long motion of water when it falls. I was speechless and in tears. It reminded me of Rivendell—place where elves come from in the Lord of The Rings. I always thought that kind of places are imagery. Skeper Waterfall successfully told me the truth.  My travel mate looked happy but didn’t show much thrill as I did. “This is my second time” she answered me after telling her my opinion. Then she took out her little stove, pan, a plastic cup and two sachets of coffee from his backpac
