Tete Batu Day Tour

The area called Tete Batu, whose name is unfamiliar, is an eco-friendly village. Most accommodations are built in the form of bungalows, and even air conditioning is difficult to access! It is also located next to Rinjani Volcano, the second highest volcano in Indonesia, so you can see Rinjani anytime, anywhere without having to climb it yourself.

Many people may be hearing the name Tete Batu for the first time. It is a place that is rare and unspoilt because it is not well known. There are no troublesome merchants, noisy tourists, or musty fumes here!

Tete Batu, where only the bright smiles of the villagers and refreshingly preserved nature await! If you're an intrepid traveler who enjoys exploring mysterious remote areas, it's well worth investing a day in.

Everyone gather together!

The tour begins from guide Jaya’s office. Since Jaya and her crew are from the local area, they have special pride and affection for Tete Batu.

Tete Batu is a very hidden place, so most people in Lombok, Indonesia don't know much about it. Perhaps that is why Tete Batu people refer to themselves as Orang Tete Batu, not Orang Indonesia or Orang Lombok. Here, Orang means ‘people’ in Indonesian.

Orang Koreans, are you ready to leave? After the tour is over, you can refer to yourself as Oran Tete Batu.

Start exploring the village!

The tour begins with a thorough look around Tete Batu Village. Now, are you ready to walk boldly from now on? After the tour is over, you will feel healthier.

At Tete Batu, you can get a glimpse into the lives of the Sasak people who cherish their traditions. If you're lucky, you might even see a village wedding ceremony.

Also, a big attraction point is that you can consistently see plants growing and growing in Tete Batu during the tour! Come see a variety of plants, including coffee, cocoa, and vanilla. All you have to do is just walk, but there are endless things you can see, feel, and experience.

View of Tete Batu after meal

Fill up on carbohydrates to recharge your energy before exploring every nook and cranny of Tete Batu. Now that we've been thrown into the middle of nature for a long time, it's time to say goodbye to restaurants! I will eat while looking at the green view.

The lunch menu is a lunch box carefully prepared by the guide. Don’t forget to treat yourself with sweet watermelon! They provided a table and chairs to eat at, so the only thing left to do was eat comfortably. If you eat wind chimes as a side dish, your bowl will be empty in no time, so be careful!

Overwhelming nature, rice terraces

Rice Terrace, a majestic terraced rice field. Even photos don't show it all, and it's so overwhelming that I can't even describe it.

This is a place where the days of being trapped in the acrid fine dust and forest of buildings feel like a lie! You will find yourself continuously exclaiming in exclamation at the inspiration given by nature.

A place where the cool sound of water welcomes you

Before we get lost in the sights we've never seen before, we'll go see a total of two waterfalls.

Before entering, write down your name and go see the first waterfall. A colorful rainbow will welcome us. You were hot from walking hard, right? Don’t worry, seeing the gushing waterfall will refresh your body and mind.

Head towards the second waterfall, splashing across the water and over big stones! I feel like I'm Indiana Jones. Swimming and diving are possible at the waterfall, so please bring a towel, a change of clothes, and flip-flops. And the most important thing to remember! Safety first! Have fun, but be careful about safety.

Cute black monkey, monkey forest

It's time to meet Tete Batu's black monkey!

Monkeys don't normally come close to people, so you have to see them from afar, but don't be disappointed if you can't see them up close! This forest is worth coming to just for the thick trees and beautiful scenery alone.
