Lembongan and Ceningan Island Hoper

Lembongan and Ceningan Island are located in the south east part of Bali. It took 30 minutes from Sanur by fast boat. The idea to visit this island was coming from my friend Henny. She wanted to make a lil high school reunion with our “gang” back then, so she set up a group on WhatsApp and invited 6 of us (GA, Fitri, Angel, Marin and me-Guteri).Unfortunately, GA and Marin couldn’t come; GA was working and Marin still on her internship on becoming a doctor.

Blue Point

The rest of us set 24th July as the first day of vacation and in this time we will only spend 3D2N in the island. We booked a bunk room for 4 pax at Le Pirate-Nusa Ceningan for only IDR 600.000/day exclude breakfast. We were so excited to be there, as it looks nice in the Instagram and website.

On 24th July at 9am, we were all gathered at Sanur, where the boat was waiting for us. At 10 am, the boat crew invited us to get on the boat. The boat name’s is Marlin. We pay IDR 120.000/pax for return tickets. It was a sunny day and our boat was full with tourists and locals heading to Lembongan.





Our motorbike is Our Hero

After 30 minutes, we finally arrived at Mushroom beach. Mushroom is one of white sandy beaches with the blue crystal water in Nusa Lembongan. Right after we touched our feet on the sand, we were welcomed by locals who tried to offer places to stay, bike for rent or some snorkeling and mangrove tours. Our accommodation is in Nusa Ceningan, approximately 15-20 minutes from Mushroom beach, so we decided to rent 2 motorbikes. With IDR 70.000/motor/day, we got the key to explore both of the islands.

We found our motorbikes were quite funny, they don’t have the police number and reaview mirrors; not safety but it challenged us especially most of the road are rocky and holey. We were heading to Le Pirate, passing the small rocky road enclosed by trees and local houses, dogs crossed the road, children chattering and in the south of the island, we found another hidden paradise, where the seaweeds lives  on the turquoise clear water with seaweed farmer took care of them. We were in love with the atmosphere and the vibe as well.

To get to Ceningan Island, we should cross a long yellow bridge known as Love Bridge. The width is 1 meter and approximately 100 meter long. We were queuing with other bikers who want to cross the bridge. We reached Le Pirate 10 minutes after crossing the bridge and we were highly happy to arrive in one of the most unique accommodations in Bali and beyond.

Welcome to our Kingdom!




It’s quite early to check-in; furthermore our room was being prepared by the housekeepers. FYI, Le Pirate has in total 8 rooms, 2 bunk rooms which can consists 4 pax per room and the rest are double room with maximum capacity 2 pax per room. It has a pool, with bar next to it and surely a terrace above sea which become a perfect place to get tanned!
While waiting for the room, we were enjoyed a glass of lemonade as the welcome drink and to feed our belly we chose pork fried rice for lunch! Yummy
After finished lunch and got our stuff in the bunk room, we rid the motorbike around the island of Ceningan. We went to the south part and found secret beach, blue lagoon and jumping point. We couldn’t do the jump because the tide was low and the wind blowing so fast. So instead of jumping, we were taking picture of our feet in the jumping point!

Our tummy got hungry super-fast here, so we headed to Jungut Batu at Lembongan Island to carving for some foods. Ayam lalapan (fried Chicken with raw veggies) become our bullets. Done with second lunch, we went to mangrove beach to book a snorkeling tour for the next day. Pak Nano, owner of Nano Warung and snorkeling tour offered us a super friendly price – IDR 50.000, - for 2 snorkeling tour and mangrove tour, and YES! We booked it. We then back to the hotel and bought some meatballs and fried banana for snack. The rest of the day, we spent at Le Pirate, swimming and sharing.

We woke up at 6 am in the morning. It’s weird because we never woke up early on working day. We decided to have breakfast at Pak Nano’s Warung before explore the beauty Lembongan’s and Penida’s underwater. The wind is quite strong; Pak Nano suggested waiting for an hour. While waiting for the wind to be calmer, we were having breakfast. Bu Nano served us the today best omelet and pancake in the island of Lembongan.

Off to The Wall - Penida


our exited faces
The time has come!!!! Pak Nano let us fit the fin, google and snorkel – because in 10 minutes we all were going to hit the boat and starting the tourJ. Our first stop is in the wall of Penida, the wind was still strong and it made big waves hit the boat. But we were lucky to have Pak Nano with us; he’s a strong and kind man.

In the wall of Penida, we snorkeling around the colorful fish, the sea was so clear. We took pictures, selfie and totally happy to mingle with the underwater creatures. There were some tourists who snorkeling with us, some of them were divingJ. We snorkeled for 1 hour and then continue to the next stop over which was mangrove point.
Pak Nano gave us bread to feed the fish which for me it was the wrong thing to do, because one day it will change the habit of the fish itself. But, it just my opinion, it could be right or wrong J because the wave was getting big and strong, we decided to went back home. My head even hit the boat because of it -_-!

Touch Down
Happy in Blue
Feeding Frenzy
As we arrived at Warung Nano, Mrs Nano served us with Balinese grilled fish with fresh young coconut water. Totally heaven on earth!! Mangrove tour is the last tour of the day. We hopped on a white boat and down the mangrove bank. We heard the bird chirping and saw the crabs hanging in the mangrove’s root. The sunshine emerged through the leaves and bounced by the water enhanced the beauty of the place. What a lovely moment. After 20 minutes sailed along the mangrove forest we went back to Le Pirate. We end the day by watched the sunset in the poolside with beer relaxed our body.
BFF+Sunbathing+Young Coconuut = HEAVEN

Beauty and Mangrove

The last day in Ceningan Island was the day where we woke up late and swimming in the seaweed beach in front of Le Pirate. Time went faster and its check out time. Last but not least we were so happy to have Dream beach as the final place to visit. Again we took pictures and a quick sunbath for Henny. We dropped our motorbike and walking to the beach where the boat was waiting to take us back to Bali.

I hate when holiday comes an end, but I always believe that EVERY END IT’S THE NEW BEGINNING. So, see you in the new beginning!

Lombok Weekend Getaway!!!

Saturday, 5th July 2014

Nothing could make me happier when Arifin and I just spontaneously decided to have a weekend getaway in Lombok.
We just having a relax Saturday in Virgin Beach, Karangasem-Bali when the idea popped in our head. I directly called mba Eva (she lives in Lombok). One thing that I knew for sure that she will be happy having us visiting her lil family and asking us out to have fun in Lombok.
After a cheerful convo with Eva, Arifin and I got on the vespa and off to the port at Padang Bai - Karangasem.
We got ferry ticket for 7pm and it cost IDR 112.000,- per motorbike. It took 4 hours to get Lombok and I spent my precious 4 hour sleeping in the couch.
We arrived at 11 pm then directly heading to Mataram-the city centre. Eva sent me her location and we thank Google for not letting us get lost in the middle of the night.
Arriving to Eva’s home, we are welcomed with warm hugs from her and warm smile from Mas Alta (Eva’s hubby), her lil bro, Ardi and her friends. Eva served us with delicious foods and we were so exciting that we could meet after plenty of plans on meeting each other.
I’ts 4 a.m and I hoammmm fell asleep…zZZzzzzZZZZZZzzzz

Sunday, 6th July

Yuhuuuu. Welcome sunny Sunday!!! We’re planning to explore Selong Belanak and Semeti Beach at the south part of Lombok.
We are so exciting!! Due to fasting time, we bring our own lunch box and snacks, just in case nobody sells lunch. It’s only three of us, Arifin, Eva and me. We drove motorbike to reach the location; it’s the cheapest and easiest way to travel.
After 2 hours of driving through the corn field, green-yellow hills with palm trees along side of the road, we finally arrive at Selong Belanak Beach.. I can’t stand for its beauty. The crystal blue water, the sun, the hills and the landscape is soo perfect. I just can’t find the right word to express.
Selong Belanak Beach-Lombok


Selong Belanak beach is the perfect beach for swimming, learning surfing and sunbathing or just hang out with friends. The local built bamboo huts (which for me is very eco-friendly) as beach hut café for the visitor. They served us grilled fish, young coconut, soft drinks and snacks.

Semeti Beach-Lombok

Feels like I'm on the top of the world :)



We spent 3 hours at Selong Belanak and at 4 pm we continued to Semeti Beach. Semeti Beach is located 15 minutes from Selong Belanak Beach. It offers scenic panorama along the way to the beach. Once we arrived, I felt peace and happy. For me Semeti Beach has two souls, because when I stood in the middle of the beach, in my right side I could see the beach of everyone’s dream and on my left side I could travel back many years ago. It’s because of the stone which look similar like what I’ve seen in the Flintstone movie. And also, it looks like kryptonite but its black and brown. You could find plenty of them unite and become stunning stone hills.

Me and Mba Eva


I thank God for this wonderful experience and  I hope whoever reads this article will soon go to Lombok and find these two paradises.
There so much more hidden paradises to be explored in Lombok, but times run out quickly and I need to go back to Bali to work and saving for another trip and adventures.

See you in the other thousand words….
PS:
  • Special thanks to Mba Eva and Mas Altha. Hope to see you guys soon!
  • For my Holland sister, Doris: I wish you were here, enjoying the journey. But I believe sooner or later will be travelling together and I hope Milly would like to join J  Kuss kuss

RUNTASTIC at GUNUNG SARI VILLAGE (Jatiluwih - Bali)

In the end of November 2013, Rakata Adventure invited friends and business partners to visit one of the beautiful villages in Jatiluwih Area, Gunung Sari Village. It is located in Tabanan regency, approximately 2 hours of driving from Denpasar.
Gunung Sari is a part of Jatiluwih. It is famous with Balinese traditional irrigation system called Subak. Furthermore, it has plenty of natural resources, art & culture and its community way of life which is very interesting to explore.
Since Jatiluwih is one of the World Heritage Site, it is necessary for the community to develop and protect their village. Regarding to the issue, Samdhana Institute together with Rakata Adventure and local community designed a community development program which supports the local to become independent on promoting and running Gunung Sari Village as a tourist destination.
This program is participated by photographer, Balinese dancer, runner, and cyclist. Every guest was able to share and mix their knowledge with the local. It’s lovely to see how the local and the guests were blended together.
Kriss, Wira and I were discussing with two local boys on creating a 10K running course map in Desa Gunung Sari. With endomondo and nike + on hand as the GPS we began to run.
The first 1.5km, we were running in the road, we enjoyed the engagement of yellow and green colors from the rice field. In the next 2.5 km we were running in the pathway and we could see the local harvesting and some of them ploughed the field with tractors and also with cows
Entering 4km of walking (we were taking a lot of pictures instead of running) we passed through a Big Temple. The temple was hidden by big trees and we could hear the birds tweeted all way long.
In the next 4 km we were again welcomed by the green lush of the field rice, but the route became hard. It’s wet, muddy and surely slippery. For the trail lovers, this could be very interesting route to enjoy. In the other side of the pathway, a small river accompanied us and running with us
We finish our “runtastic” on 2 hours and 17 minutes and as the result, we got this beautiful route for the village. 

Last but note least, I would like to ask runner/non runner or simply just a fun runner just like me to enjoy running at Gunung Sari. It is more than getting healthy or following passion as a true runner, it is the way you contribute to Gunung Sari local community. LET’S RUN FOR RUNNING THE VILLAGE

We Heart Beach!!!!

BEACH TIME.....
That will always be the best moment of my life..
I love the beach and everything on it..
In this Friday, me and my two beloved friesta (friend ad sister) Michelle and Helen were went to Gunung Payung beach in Kampial, Ungasan...
Its one of the best beaches in Bali. It's located in the south part of Bali, approximatelly 10 minutes from Nusa Dua. It's a great place to sunbathing, swimming and surfing..
The Green Hill
Gunung Payung Beach







Gunung Payung is a white sandy beach. its sooo natural and nice. you have to pass hundreds of stairway to reach the beach. Its pretty exhausted but its worth the pain.. :D  You can enjoy the scenic scenery with green hills.  
White Sandy Beach
Foreign surfer came to dance with the wave of the beach. The beach seemed like private beach, because few people come to enjoy the beauty. i think its because of the access (the stairway :D)

If  you're one of the adventure lovers, Gunung Payung Beach is one of the beach that you should visit when you in bali.

Happy travelling people!!!

Busy Batur

Here’s the story of our journey To Mt. Batur

December 2nd 2011

It started in a rush. Everybody wasn't ready for the hike. We were invited by Eka and friends. On my group, we had Jovan, Wahyu, Agung, Janet and I, on the other group were Eka, Yoga and Windy.





First, we all went to Bangli, to Penglipuran Village to met Wahyu. Eka and friends was waiting us at Penelokan, near Mt. Batur.  My group went separately. Jovan went first because he had to drop Mrs. Tirta (our lecturer) at Sanur Beach Hotel to attend a meeting. I went with Janet and we waited for 2 hours for Beni and Agung in KFC Sanur, because they hadn’t prepared yet. Damn!!! After two hours of waiting, they came and we just realized that we forgot bring our tent. That was a mess!!! We had a little tension blaming at each other. After had a call with Eka, she guaranteed that their tent met the amount of us. So we decided to continue our trip.
Once we arrived in Penglipuran, we went to Wahyu’s home. We met his lovely parents; they welcomed us friendly and made us feel like home. Penglipuran is one of tourism villages in Bali. It attracts a lot of tourist to come and see the uniqueness it has such as the traditional houses which are all the same and their tradition and way of life. After had a little chit chat with the parents, we all were off to Penelokan, Kintamani to met Eka and friends. We talked for a while and made a little introduction, because most of my team didn’t know Eka’s friends. 

It took 15-20 minutes to reach the Batur centre of information for trekking from Penelokan. We all registered and paid IDR 10.000 for the retribution that will be using for conservation. We got some information about do and don’t while trekking. We didn’t hire a guide or porter. We wanted to keep our journey became our own adventure. 




Comparing with Rinjani, Batur is easier to hike. We only need 2-3 hours to the peak. There were flies around the mountain. It’s kinda disgusting, especially when we the flies covered all our backpack and body. Yaksss. I hate it so much, but kept going. In the middle of the route, we found a white cloth covered around the mountain. It’s the tradition of Balinese which is against the earthquake that happened few months ago. They did it in order to ask God to keep them safe and there won’t be any disaster attacks them.
Hiked Batur is easy and fun to do. It was sweaty, dusty yet dirty and rocky. We had to be careful because it’s slippery. Finally, we reached the peak. It’s cloud up here. But we still had fun. We tried to find a perfect spot to built our tent, and in 10 minutes our tent stand perfectly :D. We took some pictures and made video of us. We crazily happy talking about the hike, there were a lot of silly stories. Most of them were new on hike a mountain, so they were so excited once they reached the peak and built a tent. They happy, that finally they could sleep under the tent. Hahah. 

We stayed in a big tent with a hole in its door, so we could feel the wind came into tent. It’s fit for 9 pax. We collected the branches and lit the fire. We gathered around the fire and had dinner. It was a simple dinner. Biscuits, peanuts and breads become the appetizer. We mostly brought snacks and milks. We were sharing about traveling and talking about jokes. That night was fun and we spent the rest of the night laughing at each other on the tent.
the temple and the white cloth
hike hike hike to the top

December 3rd 2011

We woke up on 5 a.m. unfortunately, we couldn’t enjoy the sunrise because of cloud. We decided to go down the mountain and starting clear up everything. It only needed 1 hour to go down the mountain. After a long way down the mountain, we arrived at the information centre. We went to the hot spring that organized by local people to warm up, but sadly it’s closed. So we went to local warung and enjoyed Babi Guling for breakfast. It tasted good and hot. We went back to Wahyu’s home; his parents served us some tropical fruits and traditional snack called RUJAK CEMCEM. It’s sour and fresh. We cleaned up ourselves and took some rest. On the evening before we went back to Nusa Dua, we explored the village. It’s my 4 or 5 times being there but I never get bored with the village. We took some pictures, then prepared to Nusa Dua.
For me, it’s hard to end a trip. I feel like I lose some energy. But I believe there will thousands of journeys that I will pass ahead. And it’ll be fun, fierce and phenomenal.
See you in my next trip!!!

Rushy Rinjani

June, 30th 2010

It's 4.49 in the morning. I am sitting down on my caught listening to ABBA songs covered by mamma mia players. In 5 minutes ahead i will take a bath and prepare for GET LOST IN LOMBOK!!!
This is one of my crazy trips. I'm traveling with my brother yet besties Jovan and Benni. Our goal is to reach the peak of Mt. Rinjani. We're gonna backpacking around the district and build our own tent that we bought in Ace Hardware. We're planning to traveling for 4-5 days by using motorcycle, so here's the routeplan:
Nusa Dua-----Padang Bai------Lembar------Sekotong-------Mataram------Senggigi------Gillis------Senaru/Sembalun-------Rinjani-----Backhome. I believe it will be the most delusional trip of mine :D
We're bikepackers!!!!
Jovan, Guteri,Benni
08.42 a.m.
Jovan, Benni and I are on the boat (Ferry). We continue our trip from Padang Bali to Lembar Bay Lombok. It's very hot up here (we are in the top of the boat), we are sitting in the 3rd deck near the crew's cabin. Its gonna take 4 hours to cross the ocean. We pay IDR 101.000 per motor bike use the service of Ferry. Our first plan arriving in Lombok is having lunch. We are all FUNGRY, then we gonna take a walk to the nearest city for buying some food (we aren't let ourselves run out of food). After all, we are planning to go to Sekotong where the beautiful beaches and the exotic panorama is settled. It will be great. I wanna snorkel and swim. Lombok!!! Here We Are!!!

 Sekotong. Its nice but scary

08.05 p.m
Somewhere, nowhere in Lombok
We just arrived in the land full of grass and cows. We start to build a tent. I’m so happy that we find the perfect place to rest. We passed through Senggigi and the Gilis. We bought coconut and bakso and its funny how a monkey stole Jovan’s coconut. Hahahah. We’re laughing and laughing. Tomorrow we’ll going to Senaru and starting hike the Mt. Rinjani!!! Yeyeyeyeyeyeye. By the way, we went to Sekotong and we got nothing but fear. The community told us about the the thief near the hills. We went along the road and became scared so we decided to turn around and went to the north.



somewhere in lombok


Senaru, Lombok. July 4th 2011


Happy Independence Day for American!!!!

06.21

Here I am, in the front of my homestay’s terrace. Yesterday we’ve just back from hiking Mt.Rinjani. We hked Rinjadi on Friday, 1st of 2011. It was a long long story. When we arrived at Senaru (the starting point for hiking and also the information centre) we bought a map of trekking Mt RInjani which is cost IDR 20.000. We were in the wrong place, because if we wanted to hike to the peak of Mt.Rinjani we have to start our trip from Sembalun, because it’s hard to get the peak from Senaru. At first, we all keep wanting Peak of Rinjani as our main goal, so we paid IDR 10.000 for entry and conservation cost  then we starting hike.

First of all, we all got tired because of our heavy carrier. We continuously took a rest after 5 minutes walk because of the paths are sheer and climb. The atmosphere was nice and fresh. The fog was covered the forest. It’s very breathtaking moment. We clearly hear the bird’s tweets. We didn’t hire a porter neither a guide. We did the hike by our own. It’s fun and easy to hike Rinjani because you’ll meet plenty of hikers and you can ask them about the routes. After 30-60 minutes’ walk, we arrived at the Gate to Rinjani National Park. We thought it was the first post, but as always we’re wrong and again we’re starting to laugh at each other.

Next we went to trough the forest and we arrive at the 1st post. We’re so excited because we could take some rest. The porter that we met was very strong and kind. They could reach the 3rd post in 3 hours, and what was happening with us??? We need 6 hours to reacher the 3rd post. Poor us!! But, FYI this is the first time we hike a mountain and people said that Rinjani is very hard to reach especially for newbie. Heheheh. So it counts!!!! Finally we arrived at 3rd post. At first we want to build our tent at Cemara tiga, but because of one of us (Benni) got cramp, so we couldn’t reach the Cemara Tiga. Its close to dark when we arrive at 3rd Post. We built our tent and prepare our dinner which was instant noodles and SUKRO (named of peanuts). The night was so damn cold. We tried to get the best sleep position to get warm but the damn cold air kept beating our bones. 
Break Time = Photo Shoot


Early in the morning we woke up and starting packing.  We had a bread and milk for breakfast. We continue our trek to Plawangan 1 where you can see the beautiful Segara anak Lake and the peak of Rinjani and Mt.Baru. The view was so AMAZING. The savanna covered the land and edelweiss was everywhere.  We spent more time to take some pictures. We didn’t want to waste the precious moment that we got. I really love the moment. After an exhausted hiked we finally could see one of the most amazing creatures of God!!! This is one of my best holyday with my best guys. That was the sweetest escape for me. After 3-4 hours climbing, we finally reach The 1st Plawangan. That was rocky path and slippery. So we have to be careful to take every step. When I arrived, I was speechless. That was a breathtaking moment. I could see the beautiful stunning of Mt Rinjani and the Segara anak lake. I didn’t even think about my tiredness. The edelweiss made the view greater than we ever seen. After saw the magnificent panorama we decided to continue our way down the Lake.  We wanted to build our tent close to the lake.  
The Famous Segara Anak Lake with Mt Baru and Mt Rinjani

 After 3 hours walking down the dusty, rocky and slippery hills we finally arrived at the Lake bank.  We felt so sad because of the vandalism in the beautiful volcanic stone and rubbish everywhere. The trekkers could bring the negative impact for the sustainable of the environment. Its dirty!!!! The lake was even worse, there were hundreds of rubbish and pup everywhere. The government should take it seriously. We set up the tent and went to hot spring. FYI we never took a bath and brushed our teeth during the hike. Hahahah. Kinda disgusting moment, but we made it fun. Hahaha. We went to hot spring and we met a lot of trekkers. They also enjoyed the hot spring like we did.  We spent 2 hours warm up and relaxed our muscles in the hot spring until our hands and legs got wrinkles. After that, we back to tent and sleep. The night became colder than night before. Thank God we don’t need to hike to the top. We didn’t bring any sleeping bag and we didn’t want to got hypothermic.  Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr. 
-->We prayed so that the morning came quick.
We just reached the Plawangan 1!!! YEY



The Savana......
The Hot Spring
Its a long way down




At 5 a.m. in the morning, we packed our rucksack and clear up the tent.  Its very cold in the morning, our lips became purple yet dry and our hands could feel nothing. We lit the fire but it didn’t work. Our blood was frozen. It was the most froze moment I ever been. But we kept fighting against the cold and start climb. The way back to Senaru was fun and quick. We met our new friend, Arif. He’s from Madiun and he’s a teacher. We shared a lot about hike a mountain. At the end of our trekking we decided to live in homestay. Finally I got bed for my back. Hehehe.  Opps  I got some edelweiss on my backpack. I broke the rules. Hehehehe.

On our way back to Bali, we dropped Mas Arif at the Gillis, the we found the pristine beach which is we don’t know the name. its unknown. Haha. We bought some coconut from the local, each costed IDR 2000, we swam and took some pictures. After had fun, we took bath at well with the cows. Ahahah. We took the water and washed ourselves. Its nice and traditionally fun!!!!!
THE END
