The Thrill of the Cascades
As the rain continues to fall, the waterfalls of Central Lombok transform into a playground for the adventurous. The Must-See Cascades tour, available from 8:30 AM, offers another chance to witness the awe-inspiring beauty of these natural wonders. The Benang Setokel waterfall, with its two-tiered cascade, is a sight to behold. The water, sourced from the river upstream on Mount Rinjani, crashes down with a force that echoes through the jungle, creating a symphony of nature’s power.
This tour not only takes you to the waterfalls but also offers a glimpse into Lombok’s rich cultural heritage. Visit the Lingsar Temple, a sacred site that stands as a testament to the island’s unique blend of Hindu and Islamic traditions. As you explore, the rain adds a mystical quality to the experience, shrouding the temple in a gentle mist that seems to whisper the secrets of the past.
