Posted by Arief on Sunday, September 29, 2013

Gili Trawangan is famous for beach destinations and beautiful marine park . Who would have thought , in this beautiful island is also a small temple tucked away . Wah !

There are some who always visited tourist destinations traveler longing to simply , one of which Gili Trawangan in Lombok . If lucky , you can also find a small temple hidden in the beach .

Maybe it's a lot of people are familiar with Gili Trawangan . But for some reason every time I visit Lombok , Gili Trawangan be one place up to do what I always visit .

This time my trip and my friends tried to use public transport from the city of Mataram . I happened to stay at a friend's house who lived Rembige area . This location is close to the Sate Rembige many people who always sought .

I am lucky to get a friend of the original people of Lombok . So he can guide and explain a lot of interesting things in the city including culinary. There are some friends who had come to the chili , but have never tried this Rembige Sate . Too bad ya !

Have you ever tried the Sate Rembige pleasure ? Rembige satay satay taste is spicy and made ​​tongues wagging . Each visit Lombok , I definitely always wrap 100 skewers to take home to Jakarta .

That morning the three of us take public transportation from the highway to the market Gunung Sari Rembige . Once there , we waited for such a small car L300 that will bring to the ward , a small port for crossing to Gili Trawangan .

After waiting some time , the car finally came . Wow ! It was full . There are people who bring groceries vegetables , some carry a basket of chicken . Everything is full there in the car . Fortunately there are enough seats for the three of us .

Then the car was speeding through the intersection of Ward . From there we had to connect using the wagon up to the ward . In Lombok wagon name better known as Cidomo derived from the word cikar , Gig , and Mobil .

Cikar is a typical old-fashioned horse-drawn carriage Lombok Island , which is then modified according to the function buggy and car tires . Be Cidomo which still survive to this day . Cidomo cost of Rp 15 thousand to get to Ward .

Last year I visited Gili use motorbikes to pass through the ward with Senggigi . Trip this time has its own pleasure , while trying a different route and had to take down public transportation , mini buses and closed with cidomo .

Terminal Ward has turned into better than last year . There is already a long bridge that stretched from the middle to the end . Once out of the cidomo , turned the boat will be leaving soon .

Our spontaneous running counter to the direction of pursuit in order to go with the boat . Phew ! Eventually the boat was to the chase as well and we smiled excitedly as he stepped toward the boat .

We arrived at Gili Trawangan . The weather has started to fade as the day is almost evening . The first thing we did was hire a bike and also fins , snorkel along to play until the next day .

After putting bags and gear , we were around Gili Trawangan using a bicycle to Sunset Point . Along the way to Sunset Point , we stopped for a lot of pictures taken in some interesting spots .

Around Sunset Point , there are various activities that can be seen . There are some communities who are busy practicing skater . There are some tourists who are yoga exercises . There were also people who had parked his bike with a neat and looking for a comfortable sitting spot , while waiting for the sun slowly away and eventually disappear .

There is one thing that caught my attention . When there is a crowd of people who rise to the top of the hill right behind me . What place is it ? I finally decided to get into crowded it was accompanied by a friend .

It seemed a pity to have much here , but do not try to see it . Behind the stairs winding , dense trees also , it turns out there is a small temple .

Stairs are available there is no grip at all , so it should not take a small child to climb to the top , they have trouble climbing worried .

Once at the top , his aura was somewhat different . Either just a feeling , or is actually so . I did not venture too close to the temple. When the feet keep moving to the edge of the hill , there is a small house , which turned out to be a tomb in it .

The atmosphere was more uncomfortable . Just take a picture frame , finally we decided to go down because if the dark will be hard to get off . Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture in front of the tomb. Maybe because it was in a hurry to get off .

When he reached the bottom , I was told of a small temple and a meal there on the hill . It turns out my friend is the original Lombok , and already dozens of times playing in Gili Trawangan has never set foot in there !

I wonder amazement . That means that not all people feel attraction to visit the hill there puranya it . This is because the bottom did not look what's on top .

Once the sun began to sink , we finally left the Sunset Point . Before you go , from a distance turns out there is something that was seen crossing the sky . Dozens of people directly pointing the camera and cell phone in the direction of the sun began to sink .

Our inn apparently fitted with sunrise spot . Once outside the room , we were immediately able to enjoy the view of the sun , which reflects the light so beautifully .

Before you start snorkeling fun , we re-cycling and passing direction not taken . Gili Trawangan how beautiful sights in the morning , where people were still many who had fallen asleep , we can still enjoy the atmosphere of a deserted beach 's own taste .rush and terrios

Let's take a short break to drink cold fresh juice and topped off with a snorkel until time to go home . Gili Trawangan is also up again .
