Sembalun

In 2016 my boss invites us to visit Sembalun. Sembalun is a highland tourist area in Lombok Island. This area very very cold, of cource.

The trip from Mataram to there -/+ 5 hours. At there so foggy and greeny. Then we stopped by in some spot to take some pics on our way.

3.Tent to rent at Pesona Rinjani Resort
We one night in Pesona Rinjani Bungalow (Hotel and restaurant). Coz we have rather huge group, and the lodge is limitet, so half of us (male teams) slept in the tents which are provided by the bungalow. Jadi pengin nginep ditenda juga, tapi nggak deh. At there so coldddd, moreover inside the lodge,  apalagi diluar.

4. The hotel also provided the barbeque tools for the customers

5. Mountain scenery from the lodge. Langsung mengarah ke gunung. My friend told me thats Rinjani Mountain, CMIIW. And because that day was on August, the hotel gives a sense of independent day. Indonesia flags in some spots.

14. Strawberry farm. Menurut salah satu temanku yang berasal dari Tegal memetik dan membawa pulang strawberry di kebun di Tegal adalah gratis. Sayangnya disini nggak seperti di sanan. Di Sembalun kalau memetik strawberry dan makan di tempat sepuasnya bayar Rp10.000, tapi kalau mau bawa pulang bayar perkilonya harganya Rp40.000. Hmmm.
