Visit living villages, meet weavers, and see Lombok's soul
If you want to understand Lombok beyond its beaches and waterfalls, spend a day with the Sasak communities who call the island home.This private trip takes you through traditional villages around Senaru and Bayan, where you’ll see how farming, weaving, religion and old Sasak customs still shape everyday life. Rather than visiting a staged cultural attraction, you’ll spend time in living villages where families still practise these traditions today.You’ll explore with a local woman who knows the communities well, which makes the experience feel much more personal. Walk through Senaru village beneath Mount Rinjani, learn how families traditionally farm the land, and meet local women who still weave by hand using natural dyes. There’s time to chat about their craft, the traditions behind it and how village life is changing.You’ll also visit Bayan, home to Lombok’s oldest mosque still in use today. It’s a particularly interesting window into Sasak culture, where Islamic practices and older local traditions have long existed side by side.We’d recommend this for anyone curious about the people and traditions behind Lombok, especially if you’re already staying around Senaru for Mount Rinjani and want to understand a little more about the place rather than simply passing through.What to ExpectPrivate visit to traditional Sasak villagesExplore Senaru at the foot of Mount RinjaniLearn about Sasak farming and village customsMeet local women who weave with natural dyesVisit Lombok’s oldest active mosque in BayanLearn how Islam and Sasak traditions intertwineRelaxed pace with flexibility along the wayGood to KnowThis is a private experience.The villages are lived-in communities where traditional ceremonies are still practised.Pick-up is included from hotels in Senaru.Pick-up from other areas may incur an additional charge.Entrance fees to the mosque and local sites are included.

Meet your host
Katni is a force of nature. She is the very first woman guide in Rinjani. When she first started guiding in Rinjani, it was taboo for women to lead hikes in the deeply patriarchal society of Lombok. So she started her own guiding business (still the only female-owned business in Rinjani!), and hired women as guides. Through her work, she's singlehandedly shattered taboos in Rinjani, changed mindsets of men and women in Lombok, and have given women opportunities to earn an income.
