The Sasak Trail
Learn about the indigenous Sasak group’s way of life on this entertaining and informative tour. First stop on this eight-hour trip is the pottery village of Banyumulek – one of the main pottery centres in Lombok – where locals have been producing earthenware for generations. We continue on to Sukarara, where traditional weavers have put many years of experience into producing superb textiles and they will give us instruction into their skilled practices.
Next up is the village of Sade, which is known for its unique homes constructed from buffalo dung and mud. The penultimate stop is at the off-the-beaten track Tanjung Aan Beach, a long stretch of white sand which is popular with tourists and surfers alike. Then enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Kuta. Our exploration concludes at Mayura Water Palace, a Balinese floating pavilion and a former royal home that dates back to 1744.
