DESTINATION

Suranadi Just a short trip outside the city amid cool, lush scenery, Suranadi is a historic temple complex that continues to play an important role in religious ceremonies and rituals for Lombok’s Hindu community.

D

aytrippers seeking a little history and culture can easily get their fix within a 30-minute drive of Mataram. Narmada and the Pura Lingsar Temple are just a short hop from the city and among the most popular inland attractions in Lombok due to their proximity. However slightly less well known is nearby Suranadi , also an ancient Hindu temple complex with the added advantage of being invitingly close to an expansive conservation area rich in endemic flora and fauna. Pura Suranadi is one of the most important and oldest Hindu temples in Lombok and a pilgrimage site for the island’s large Hindu community. The name is derived from the word sura (god) and nadi (river) and can trace its origins from the early part of the 18th century during Dutch colonial rule. The site was chosen due to the convergence of five ‘holy’ springs (Panca Tirtha) which were discovered by visiting Indian mystic Dang Hyang Nirlata, according to folklore. The waters play an important role in religious ceremonies and rituals at the complex. To the south of the temple are bathing pools filled with crystal clear,refreshingly cold water and visitors are welcome to enjoy a dip.

DESTINATION


The temple complex is split into three main groups. The temple buildings of Pura Ulon, Pangentas and Pabersihan were constructed in quintessential Hindu design but have their own distinct characteristics, with elaborately stone carved shrines and decorated courtyards. The encroaching forest forms a lush backdrop to the temple complex and it is not uncommon to see the forest’s most populous inhabitants – long tailed macaque monkeys – scampering about the temple grounds. Just a short stroll away, the forest offers cool walks amid exotic species such as huge banyan trees, birds of prey, squirrels and roaming deer. The area has been growing in popularity in the last few years as a great place for soft trekking and now has a camping ground within the forest reserve. Recently, more adventurous activities have started taking off in the area, including kayaking and river tubing. As you exit the temple complex, it’s very evident that Suranadi has also become something of a rising star in the Lombok culinary scene. There are rows of ‘lesehan’ and food stalls serving up local specialities sate bulayak and grilled chicken by the roadside. At weekends especially it can be jam packed with crowds of hungry locals.

ACTIVITIES


Paragliding in Lombok Soar like an eagle high above Lombok’s stunning scenery. The growing aerial sport of paragliding is yet another adventurous way to see Lombok from a whole new perspective.

L

ombok’s plentiful adrenaline fuelled activities are widely known and continue to attract adventurous souls seeking much more than a few lazy days on a tropical beach. Lombok’s world class scuba diving, surfing, mountain and jungle treks need no introduction, but there is a new adrenaline sport (literally) taking off in a big way. Paragliding is fast becoming the latest activity to take Lombok by storm. The island’s wide open spaces and outstanding scenery make it the perfect environment to take flight and soar like a bird! Paragliding is the simplest form of human flight – eco-friendly and non-motorized which can be launched safely off a hillside. Strapped into a harness in a seating position above the nylon ‘wing’, you actually fly like a bird in comfort, and using the air currents can reach 10,000 feet above the ground and travel long distances with minimal effort. With prior tuition it is surprisingly easy to maneuver, offering plenty of opportunity to soak up the captivating bird’s eye views. Flyers can also team up with more experienced paragliders on a tandem flight. Lombok’s burgeoning paragliding scene can probably trace its roots back to a small group of local daredevils jumping off hillsides and taking flight throughout Lombok. Over the last two years the Lombok Sumbawa Parafly group has worked hard to develop the sport throughout Lombok, identifying paragliding sites from the foothills of Mount Rinjani, to Sekotong, the hills around Kuta Nipah in West Lombok and Jerowaru in the southeast. Likewise a number of take off sites have been established on neighbouring Sumbawa. In fact Sumbawa was chosen by the Federation of Aero Sport Indonesia (FASI) to host a major national paragliding contest last month. Such has been the surge in interest among the local community, FASI now has a Lombok-Sumbawa chapter. Lombok’s growing status as a paragliding haven has reached the ears of many adventure sports operators on Java and Bali, who now offer multi-day paragliding and paramotor trips here. With expert tuition you can soon be soaring high, where Lombok’s captivating landscape takes on a whole new perspective. Best of all, you can cover big distances and leisurely soak up awesome panoramas from the air while the wind does all the hard work!

INTERVIEW

Giving Aviation a LIFT Before 1998, Indonesia, especially Curug, was the pilot training high flyer in the region. Graduates were employed by major airlines - Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways, and MSA. Then the economic crisis hit… and Indonesia lost its premier position. Now, four years after take-off, the LIFT Flight School is working hard to bring back the old glory days.

L

IFT (Lombok Institute of Flight Technology) was the first PMA flight school established in Indonesia. It was founded in 2010, by investors from Indonesia and overseas, who had long recognised the need for a comprehensive training facility. Plans had been put on hold during the years of financial difficulty, but the need for qualified Indonesian pilots was growing rapidly. The search for the right location began in late 2006, and after rejecting several sites, the investors found a space on the perimeter of Selaparang Airport, Lombok. With access to a long runway, light air traffic and ideal facilities for students and instructors, Selaparang was perfect. After a green light from the airport General Manager, and successful application for the PSC (Pilot School Certificate) the school was ready to test its wings. Jack Forrest is originally from Australia, and has lived in Indonesia since 2005. He is the Senior Flight Instructor at LIFT and was there at the very beginning. ‘I can speak from personal experience. I began my training as a student at LIFT. I was in the first class at the school,when it opened its doors in August 2011. After I graduated, I decided to stay, and have been an instructor here ever since’. There are currently 40 students enrolled in the full time practical flight training course, which, subject to weather conditions and other unavoidable interruptions, lasts from 14 to 18 months. ‘During our initial operation phase, some training extended to over 18 months, but we are now trying to keep it to a standard 14 months’, says Mr Forrest. ‘There was a time when training was paused for several weeks due to Indonesia and Singapore Air Forces’ military exercises. Now, with operations at Selaparang, we can be more stable in our training time slots’. LIFT is a popular choice for students dreaming of a career in the skies. Training is obviously geared to produce skilled and

20

well-qualified licensed pilots but safety is the main concern. Mr Forrest is quick to point out the advantages of training with LIFT. ‘Instead of relying on old technology and older planes, for cost saving, our first purchase was of brand new planes. Our second acquisition was planes with low flying hours – below 1,000. We are currently operating only four planes, but the cost of our investment is equivalent to that of other schools that have 10 planes or more.’ The Cessna 172 is the standard training plane in Indonesia. Keen to introduce new technology into their training, LIFT shouldered the cost of a new generation of aircraft– the Liberty XL2 – that uses both Glass and Analog cockpits. It has a FADEC (Full Authority Digital Electronics Control) engine that monitors the performance of each cylinder 20 times a second. For nonspecialists, this basically means that the planes have a sophisticated, computerised electronic engine controller – the kind of device used as standard in all airliners and business jets. ‘We have two more planes under acquisition. These will be our next generation trainers, and will have diesel (also FADEC) engines’, Mr Forrest says. ‘Fuel choice is also important. Our planes burn AVGas, which is 3 times more expensive than MOGas, but we use it because it’s safer’. ‘For additional safety’, says Mr Forrest, ‘all our planes are equipped with ‘Spidertracks’, a GPS tracking system that reports position, direction and altitude every two minutes during a flight. In case of emergency, it will also send an automatic warning to our Flight Operation’. Rigorous student training is a major drawcard. As well as meeting the training requirements of DGCA, LIFT has extra training devices, such as the Cross-Wind Simulator. This device is the first one in Indonesia and the only one in a local flight school. It gives students unlimited access to training, practice and computer

monitoring, as they learn the proper techniques for landing in challenging cross-wind conditions, wind shear and turbulence. LIFT planes are also equipped with in-flight video recording. Students and instructors can view their performance, and footage is used for post flight discussion and further improvement.

never the same. One hour we could be helping a student to perfect landings, the next hour we could be demonstrating steep turns and aerodynamic stalls for them. All really exciting stuff!’ The desire for flying began, for Mr Forrest, at a very specific moment in 2004.

The school is also intending to offer students short courses from Flight Safety International, via online access, and when Fibre Optic is installed in the area, training will begin.

‘I was living in Africa – inTanzania –and there I was, right up front, in a cockpit of a small Piper (a light aircraft). We had taken off from Mwanza Airport, and at about 500 feet, the pilot turned to me and said, 'Okay, your turn, mate!' From the minute I put my hands on the controls of that aircraft, I knew that it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life’.

‘We never cut corners’, says Mr Forrest, ‘Our students are allowed a reasonable margin above normal training hours to make sure they will have the right skills, instead of pushing them for checkride before they are ready’. Checkride is the examination students take to receive an aircraft pilot's certification. After they have completed their training, most graduates join airline companies and do a further six months of training before flying as Second Officer, First Officer, and ultimately Captain. Some seek employment with Air Charter Operators, while overseas students, particularly Papuans, prefer to return home and look for work in their own countries. ‘In general our students have a good reputation for smooth landings during their job interviews’, Mr Forrest says. Although a plan to open up an overseas market is at the negotiation stage, most of LIFT’s present students are from Indonesia. ‘There’s a new batch coming in at the end of October’, Mr Forrest says, ‘and we always have a few under training, as hobbyists. We have eight full time instructors at the moment and more will be employed after we’ve added our next generation trainer planes in 2016’. A handful of students continue training in the school to become LIFT Flight Instructors. Which is exactlywhat Jack Forrest did. He began teaching in April 2013 and slowly progressed to the position of Senior Instructor, accumulating over 1,100 hours of flight time. He clearly enjoys his work and finds it difficult to describe a ‘typical’ day. ‘I’m a pilot and an instructor, and there’s always something new and exciting happening. Normally, instructors begin flight training at 8am, with all the students we are assigned that day. Later, we meet the students one by one and give them a detailed post flight evaluation – the areas they excelled in during the flight, and the things they need to improve. But like I said, things are

22

An instructor’s job is demanding. There’s no question of relaxing, even for a minute, when training a student. What would be a stupid, careless mistake in an experienced pilot might seem like a logical step to a student. ‘You always have to have your head on a swivel, and be on the look out’. Although he agrees that it definitely beats a regular 9-5 job, Jack Forrest corrects the popular misconception that, even on the ground, pilots enjoy the ‘high life’. ‘No, it’s not what people might think. We don't have a city-jumper lifestyle, sipping martinis in the bar of a 5-star hotel. A pilot’s working and living conditions are normally very tough. You can't simply 'like' or 'enjoy' flying, you really have to love it and have that deep-down burning passion for it. The industry will quickly weed out those that don’t, anyway’. For Jack Forrest, the real benefit of being an instructor is the pure feeling of accomplishment. To take students who have no knowledge of flying, train them, and one month later, see them in the aircraft for their first solo flight is extremely satisfying. ‘It’s watching that very nervous first take-off, and the first solo landing. Nothing can describe the smile on a student’s face when he crawls out of the aircraft, his back covered in sweat, and says 'Thank you Jack'. Those three words go a long way and mean a lot to a Flight Instructor. You know you’ve succeeded. And then you move on to your next student’.

GIVING BACK

KEEP KUTA CLEAN

S

outh Lombok Community Association (SLCA) has taken another positive step in its “Keep Kuta Clean” trash programme. The Association has recently taken it to the streets by installing the first 40 waste bins in and around the Kuta area. “It’s been a slow and difficult process trying to obtain support from local authorities to assist in starting a clean-up process for Kuta, so SLCA has taken steps ourselves to get the first 40 bins out there. We were fortunate to obtain an initial donation of bins and had them mounted securely with liners to help protect them,” a SLCA spokesperson said. The bins have been sponsored by local businesses, individuals, visitors and interested parties who donate Rp150,000 per month in support. There is a weekly collection service and a fortnightly cleanup day already in place and all waste is disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner at the new Sengkol landfill depot. The next steps will be to focus on recycling, managing organic waste and educating schools and the local fishing village. The Association has also set a target to increase the number of bins to 100 in the coming months. You can get involved by coming along to the Kuta clean-up day every second Saturday at 3pm. Or better still, why not purchase or sponsor a bin? Keep Kuta Clean.

LOCAL PROFILE

Wayang Sasak

SHADOWS IN THE SPOTLIGHT The name Pak Lalu Nasib AR is synonymous with wayang Sasak. He is one of only a few dozen traditional puppeteers left in Lombok, and he is drawing audiences. Lalu Nasib AR is able to reach and engage people where many other puppeteers cannot. His particular skill lies in his ability to achieve a blend of the traditional and the modern and he is helping to keep the art form alive.

W

ayang, traditional Indonesian theatre, has been significant for centuries in preserving and passing on religious and cultural heritage. Wayang Sasak is the wayang of the Sasak people – the people of Lombok – and it is a distinctive type of shadow puppetry that found its way to Lombok from Java, possibly in the seventeenth century. The exploits of Islamic heroes are frequently the subject of puppet theatre performances in Java. In Lombok, however, there is a special focus on wayang menak – a cycle of stories about the adventures of Amir Hamzah, the uncle of the prophet Muhammad. With his trusted companion, Umar Maya, he travelled far and wide, spreading the Islamic faith, and encountering challenges and obstacles along the way. The stories are based on older tales and have been rewritten and collected in a manuscript called the Serat Menak. ‘The book has all the stories’, says Mr Nasib, ‘and you learn from the book. The characters are always the same’.

26

Wayang Sasak uses shadow puppets called wayang kulit. ‘Kulit’ means ‘skin’; the puppets are made from animal skin, elaborately carved and decorated to represent the figures in the stories. They are attached to bamboo poles and operated by the dalang (puppet master). The audience sees only the silhouettes, or ‘shadows’, of the figures, as the images are projected on to a white sheet by a light source – an oil lamp or, these days, an electric light. The language used in this form of puppetry is Kawi (Old Javanese), Balinese and Sasak (from Lombok) and an instrumental group accompanies the performances. ‘To do a show, we need nine people. The shows are generally one hour long but can sometimes last three to four hours’, Mr Nasib says. Pak Lalu Nasib AR was born in Gerung, in West Lombok NTB in August 1947. He is now a master puppet operator, but his connection with wayang Sasak started in 1969 when he was still at school. He loved to watch the puppet shows and seized every opportunity to go to performances.

The traditional puppet shows have experienced highs and lows in their popularity over the years, and there is the difficulty of having to compete with modern entertainment, which has seen a falling away of audiences. But Lalu Nasib AR is one of the puppet artists who have successfully adapted to the times by trying new techniques.

‘I’ve taken part in festivals all over Indonesia – when I was younger, but not any longer. Now we do puppet shows all over Lombok – at weddings, circumcision ceremonies, and on national holidays. We also help sick people – by using magic. The puppet pours water for the sick person; this can then make the person healthy again’.

In his puppet shows he still uses the original Sasak puppets. ‘The puppets are made from the stomach of a cow’, says Mr Nasib, ‘but the best skin is when the cow has been pregnant five times, as the skin does not stretch any more. This is the best material to use’.

It has always been in his nature to be a puppeteer. The art is in his blood. He taught himself by watching other people, but he has always been good at learning different languages.

He has not changed the original puppets, but he has added to them – using modern elements like motorbikes, aeroplanes, and bakso carts to keep his audiences entertained and interested. His shows try to explain aspects of today’s technology to the people in the villages. He also uses comedy, jokes and colloquial language, and his material includes current issues as well as the classical stories. ‘It keeps the attention of the young men who would otherwise not be interested in the puppet show – they love to watch now’, Mr Nasib says.

‘I taught myself how to speak the Kawi language simply by watching the shows’, he says. Mr Nasib is keen to keep the traditions alive and pass them on to the next generation. He has already taught his 8-yearold grandson, Reno, to speak the Kawi language, and has shown him how to operate his own, smaller puppets. Does wayang Sasak have a future? Mr Nasib thinks so. ‘It is difficult to teach the younger generation, as there is no help or funding from the government’, he says. ‘But I am not worried about it fading out. There will always be children who will teach themselves, and love it – like I did’.

He enjoys taking the stories around Lombok.

CHEF INTERVIEW

An International Love Affair with Food

L

ike many chefs, Juandi’s interest in food and his passion for cooking started when he was a small child, in Central Lombok, watching his mother preparing the dishes he loved. What began as a hobby blossomed into a career that took him across the world – and brought him home again. Juandi is now Executive Chef at Sudamala Suites & Villas, where he and his team share their love of food and their creative blend of local and western-style dishes. What do you particularly remember from your Mother’s kitchen? My mother and my neighbor have a warung* and I would help them in the kitchen, when I was younger. They were my inspiration for cooking. They make all kinds of traditional food. Most of all I love ‘Sop Bebalung’. It’s cooked with chili, garlic and tamarind and it is delicious! Yes, that would be my favourite. Tell us about your career so far. In 1997 I studied for a year at the School of Tourism — at PPLP and then had 3 months of specific job training at Intan Laguna Hotel (now the Santosa), in Lombok. After that, I worked for 3 months at the Holiday Resort, 3 months at the Sheraton Senggigi and then moved to the Novotel where I worked for a year. In 2001, I was given a position as Senior Cook at the Javanese Restaurant at the Kuta Indah. Later, returned to the Novotel, this time as a Senior Chef. I stayed there for 5 years. You have also had experience overseas? Yes, I worked with a River Cruise in Germany for a year and then came back to Lombok where I worked at Novotel once again, as sous-chef, for a year, before heading off again to work on the Oceania Cruiseline. I did that for 3 years before returning in 2013 and taking a position at Sudamala Suites & Villas as the Executive Chef, right here in Lombok. What do you like most about Lombok? It is my home and it’s where my family lives. How did your family react when you told them you wanted to become a chef? They were very happy. I was learning new skills, and it meant that one day I could have a business of my own.

46


How would you describe or define your style of cooking? I’d describe my own style as Asian–Fusion; there’s a focus on local food, mixed with western influences. This style has influenced my menu choices at Sudamala Suites & Villas. The Olah-Olah Restaurant there serves Asian-Fusion, Western and local dishes. What’s your particular menu favourite? The Sasak Begibung – it is a complete dish, with a good variety of the local Sasak Food. Do your customers seem to have a favorite dish? Probably Ayam Taliwang and Pelecing Kankung. Whenever we have guests to stay they always ask for these two dishes. They are the local dishes of Lombok and the flavour is delicious! Which ingredients do you most like to cook with? Onion, to start with – it adds instant flavour, and it’s not too strong. And it certainly ‘cleans your eyes’ when you’re cutting it! And then, of course, chili – ‘No chili is no good!’ And what about your favourite kitchen gadgets? Spoons. They are simple, but you can use a spoon for almost anything – stirring, plating the food, tasting the food. Describe a typical day at work. If we need fresh fish, we go to the market at 5am. Usually, though, I start work at 8am and we prepare the kitchen and the food we need for breakfast. During the morning, we check the stock and order the food and ingredients we need. I also attend to any administration that needs to be done. Then we prepare for lunch. A couple of times each month we go to the markets to look at the fruit and vegetables and to check the prices. At 3pm I have a break and then return to work at 6pm to prepare for dinner. During dinner service, I walk around the restaurant and talk with the guests to make sure everything is OK and I stay until we close.

Are you an adventurous eater? Are there any foods you won’t eat or even try? I will try anything – and everything. You must always try something to get to know the taste and texture. What do you like to do in your spare time? I love to cycle and visit the waterfalls around Lombok Other than creating great food, what would you say are the most important qualities that make a successful chef? I think that you must have confidence. That’s really important. And if you have that, you are also willing to try new ideas, and prepared to share your ideas with other chefs – two other very important qualities. Any tips for budding chefs? First of all, you must want to learn. You should never be scared to try something. If it doesn’t work, try again; never give up. You should also have patience. Learning to be a chef doesn’t happen overnight. It takes many years of learning and training in the kitchen. Who is your favourite celebrity chef? Chris Salans, from Mozaic, a restaurant in Bali. He taught me while I was at the Novotel. He cooks a great combination of western and local style, as well as fine dining. He knows how to create dishes using unusual ingredients. He just makes food that tastes amazing. If you hadn’t become a chef, what do you think you would you be doing right now? I would be the owner of a restaurant! The boss!

* a small family-owned restaurant or café What would you say is the biggest challenge in your job? There are 12 staff in our kitchen. Training them to keep to a consistent standard can be a challenge. I have to make sure that each dish on the menu has the same taste, and quality, as when it was served yesterday! I do not let a meal leave the kitchen unless I have checked it to make sure it is exactly as it should be. When you’re at home, what do you like to eat? And do you ever cook at home? I love to eat Ikan Bakar (Grilled Fish) and Ayam Taliwang. I take a break from cooking when I am at home - my wife generally cooks.

Kombucha

NOT YOUR AVERAGE COCKTAIL!

50


It’s a concoction of bacteria and yeast, it looks like a sturdy species of jellyfish and it floats on a golden brown liquid that smells ever so slightly like vinegar. No, it’s not an alien (or surgical) specimen but it’s certainly something you might expect to see in a science lab. Instead, you’ll find it in window displays of popular health shops and cafés. Chances are, at least one of your friends is growing one, and might even ask you if you want to share it. So what is it?

This strange creature is a S.C.O.B.Y. (more about that in a minute) and it is busily making ‘Kombucha’, a health drink, which many believe can deliver benefits in a range of areas. And what exactly is kombucha? Kombucha is produced when a sugary liquid, usually tea, is fermented, in a natural biological process using a ‘Symbiotic Colony Of Bacteria and Yeast’ or, as it’s called, a S.C.O.B.Y. which, you must admit, sounds a little more wholesome. Of course similar processes using bacteria and yeast are involved in making many food products – including bread and alcohol. In this case, the S.C.O.B.Y. is a miniature ‘brewing factory’ where yeast and friendly bacteria do their work by feeding on the sugar in the tea mixture. The ‘bad’ bacteria are kept out by the floating jelly ‘lid’ that forms on the surface of the kombucha. If you know someone who has a S.C.O.B.Y. you can ask for a piece and begin your own ‘kombucha factory’ – which is far less complicated than trying to begin one yourself. Or you can buy bottled kombucha, which tends to be quite expensive. There are many versions of the story behind its name. In Japanese, the descriptive term means ‘black tea mushroom’, and in Chinese and Russian it is called ‘red tea fungus’, but none of the original words sound like kombucha. The closest is the Japanese word konbu-cha, which means ‘kelp tea’ and is a totally different product, made from powdered konbu, a type of edible seaweed. Possibly the word was used mistakenly by English speakers because the S.C.O.B.Y. does look quite like a thick kelp. Kombucha has a long history, with its popularity resurfacing from time to time. It has been available commercially since the 1990s but many people choose to brew their own varieties. How might you benefit from kombucha? The more enthusiastic fans of this slightly ‘spritzy’ and uniquely flavoured brew claim that it prevents, and cures, various diseases, but scientific evidence for this is in very short supply. There are health benefits, however, reported among those who have drunk kombucha on a regular basis.

• It can detoxify the body Detoxifying agents help all bodily functions, particularly liver function, and tend to increase energy levels. Kombucha contains enzymes and bacterial acids that the body normally uses to ‘detoxify’ and therefore speeds the process. • It helps joint mobility Kombucha contains glucosamine, which is well known and often recommended for the prevention and relief of arthritic conditions. Glucosamine helps the production of certain acids that work to preserve cartilage in the joints by keeping it moist, lubricated and flexible and therefore preventing arthritic pain. • It improves the digestive system Kombucha is a probiotic. That means it has millions of live bacteria (the good kind), which maintain balance in the intestinal tract, and prevent overgrowth of harmful organisms (such as candida). • It can speed up metabolism And, as most people would know, that makes losing weight a little easier. • It boosts mental processes Some people report that taking kombucha helps to ease the symptoms of fibromyalgia, depression and anxiety. It can have a calming effect and reduce stress and sleeplessness. Many say that they enjoy some of these benefits. They will probably not tell you that they drink kombucha for pleasure. You might find that it takes a while to become accustomed to the taste, which is a little sour, and vinegar-like. Things you should consider: • Kombucha contains some alcohol (1–2%), and levels can increase if it is over-fermented. • The biggest risk of making kombucha at home is that the mixture might become contaminated. Strict hygiene and sterilized jars will minimize the risk. • Kombucha is definitely not recommended as a replacement for seeking professional help, if you have medical concerns. Available at The Mexican Kitchen, Bintang Beach, Gili Air. Available Flavours: Pomegranate, Lemon & Turmeric & Lemon, Ginger & Mixed Fruits. Phone: +62 (0) 878 6412 2200 Facebook: Gilimexicankitchen

DEVELOPMENT


Kuta Heights Development A dream home opportunity taken to new heights with captivating ocean views of the South Lombok coastline.

E

very new business venture begins with a dream. For Julian Fowler and Rosalie Dobson, that dream bore fruit in South Lombok after a life-changing visit to Kuta. Then still a fairly quiet area with little development, they thought to themselves: “Wouldn’t it be great to have a holiday home here� and the idea for Kuta Heights Development (KHD) was born. They have proved the old adage that timing is everything in business, but success comes by meeting a need. In this case, Julian and Rosalie, when searching for land to build their own dream holiday home, found very few small parcels of available land. They solved this quandary by buying a sprawling plot of land measuring several hectares with the specific aim of dividing the land into smaller, manageable plots for other would-be investors to enjoy their Lombok lifestyle experience. As the name suggests KHD is set on a hillside about one kilometre from the beach affording spectacular ocean views. The panoramic views and lush scenery are obvious attractions but the location was specifically chosen for a number of other important reasons too. Rosalie and Julian realised that as expat home owners in Lombok themselves, people want to have the best of both worlds. This means easy and convenient access to the resort town of Kuta and the beaches, yet well insulated from any overdevelopment in the area that may happen in years to come.

55


Kuta Heights is just minutes from Kuta’s bars, restaurants and shopping and just a 20 minute drive from the international airport. Additionally 20 of South Lombok’s lauded surf spots are within one hours’ drive from the development. Safety is also an important factor in choosing a location for a second home. KHD is a private development, with a private access road, yet is a million miles from a typical cookie-cutter gated community. Much of the land is still green with ocean view and inland facing jungle plots left as nature intended, while the layout means plots are well spaced out and of varying sizes to meet all needs, be it a private villa to see out retirement or for a boutique hotel resort or surf camp. As any would-be foreign property owner in Indonesia is fully aware, the legal process for property ownership can be both bewildering and time consuming, and it certainly pays to have someone assisting who can call on the lessons learned from their own personal experience. KHD offers investors the flexibility to take full control to design and build their dream home or use their in-house services. These include the sourcing of legal representation, architects and builders and property management when away from Lombok.

Senggigi Festival The annual Senggigi Festival known as the ‘Culture of Colours’ was held last month. This is a four-day celebration of Lombok’s art and culture and is a colourful and lively event aimed at promoting the island’s tourism potential. The Festival was staged around Senggigi, Lombok’s main beach resort area, with the highlight being the grand parade. Representatives from different districts and villages, around Lombok, dress in their regional costumes and play traditional instruments while presenting street theatre and dance performances.

ASTROLOGY — OCTOBER 2015

horoscopeofthemonth Aries (March 21–April 19) Sudden and shocking news can disrupt your world. You are at the receiving end of critical reviews of your performance or behavior. Authority figures do not have a favorable view of your associates or the manner in which you communicate. They want you to be less aggressive, which is not your style at all. You may need to take the bullet on this one, and instead of insisting you are right, agree to change your approach. This is hard for your to swallow, but a necessary tactic to survive the days ahead. Taurus (April 20–May 20) This is a power play month for you, Bull. All systems are primed to lend you the support you need to push forward. In fact, life is so spectacular, you thing this is the time to pull back and do so serious relaxing. But the Universe rarely provides an environment so rich in opportunity for you. It’s foolishness to squander any of it. Twist a few extra dreams and wishes into your plans for the future and reap what you sow. In other words, full steam ahead! Gemini (May 21–June 20) Most days, despite a cheerful and casual demeanor, you are strung tighter than a violin string. Unfortunately for you, Gemini, this month is going to amp that up an octave. On your to do list is listening to your many failings courtesy from over critical authority figures, handling an over scheduled work load, and trying to figure out why you are putting up with all this. Key to survival is reducing stress in a constructive way. Hanging out with friends and writing in your journal help you. Cancer (June 21–July 22) Despite outward appearances big changes brew on the home front. Unexpected relationships present new opportunities but not without upheaval. Someone may be overextending their abilities to deal with the problem. The good news is that you’ll have the opportunity to deal constructively with issues that arise. You can be a stabilizing force in a rapidly shifting situation. Go for it, tiger!

62

Leo (July 23–August 22) Venus in your sun on the day of the Leo Moon tells you it is time to decide what is important to you. It’s a significant moment. You have the power to bring dreams and wishes to fulfillment but you will have to let go of ego to do so. Your relationships with others present opportunities for growth as long as you allow other people to be equal partners. This isn’t always easy for royal Leo, but necessary to achieve your goals. Virgo (August 23–September 22) You may think of yourself as the “get it done right” person, but your penchant in getting bogged down in the details often slows your progress. This month you have the power to effect great changes in your sphere of influence, but only if you let go of the need to control every nuance of a project. Is it not better to see the entire forest than focus on individual trees? This is the quest if you are to succeed. Libra (September 23–October 22) Relations with your significant is highlighted this month. The danger is that in demanding too much closeness or too little may result in rips and tears in the fabric of your bond. This is a time to use to thing of the needs of the other person and to put aside your own. It is important not to over react to perceived slights, or manufacture a crisis where there is none. If necessary, seek the services of a qualified professional. Scorpio (October 23–November 21) Others fight the tide this month, but you, Scorpio are smart enough to go with the flow. You know there are times when it is best to immerse yourself in dreams rather than face the harsh light of reality. Yes, there are things in the air that you can’t cure, but you weren’t meant to save the entire world, just a piece of it. Lend a hand to those who need it. You’ll feel better that you did.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21) The planet of duty and responsibility has entered your zodiac sign, marking a two and half year period where you will be challenged to learn and grow. Being the type of soul that enjoys living on the lighter side of life, Saturn’s lessons seem like a punishment from your Higher Power. This isn’t the case as the most loving of parents sets limits and challenges to help their children become the people they are meant to be. Remember this when the roadblocks appear insurmountable. Nothing is beyond your capabilities. Capricorn (December 22–January 19) Care with financial resources and investments yield positive results. Analyze what went right and what went wrong. Practical purchases can enhance your well-being. Buying a new vehicle is a good idea now if you are in the market. However, relationships with others may be strained. Nostalgia over past events could cloud your judgement regarding present opportunities. Look long term for the best gain. Aquarius (January 20–February 18) Let the system work for you instead of working against the system. Care is needed to effect practical solutions to current problems. You have out-of-the-box ideas that sparkle, but you need to show concrete details to the people who can help you put them in play. People will roll the dice with you but you must put in the work against time pressures. Aquarius, of all signs, pull rabbits out of hats by willing the result. Don’t (politely) take “no” for an answer. Pisces (February 19–March 20) Hopes, dreams and wishes don’t stand up to critical review. People are more than eager to let you know where you are sliding off the rails. However, you are more rooted in reality than what you project because you have the inherent power of manifesting your desires. You can take concepts, and shapes from other dimensions and give them form. Don’t try to explain yourself. Neither should you agree for the sake of harmony. Rely on Scorpio and Capricorn for support and a helping hand.

This is Lombok! Lombok’s time is here and now, having finally stepped out of Bali’s shadow, showcasing to the world its unique mix of adventure, pristine natural scenery and captivating art and culture. A new airport, international yacht marina and improved roads have made travel to and within Lombok much easier, but it is its untamed natural beauty and traditional charm that captivates. It is an adventure-seeker’s paradise, home to world-class scuba diving, surfing and mountain climbing yet travellers looking for a cosmopolitan beach lifestyle and luxury creature comforts will not be short of options. Experience the best of Lombok with these recommended highlights and hidden gems:

Senggigi and The West Coast Senggigi, just a short drive from the island capital Mataram is Lombok’s premier beach resort, extending along a series of sweeping bays. The main beach strip is fringed by a wide expanse of sand framed nightly by spectacular ocean sunsets. It is a fairly spread out beach town that rarely feels overcrowded yet there is a broad variety of places to stay, eat and socialise. There is a vibrant expat community here with lots of opportunity for sports and leisure, business networking and searching out those hard to find imported goods. Senggigi is the best place to arrange days out and guided trips to other parts of Lombok. The beach road then winds its way north to upmarket Mangsit, dotted with hip boutique hotels and villas among some of west Lombok’s most captivating scenery. In all, the Senggigi area stretches for almost 10 km along the west coast, and away from the main tourist centre, comprises numerous palm fringed beaches dotted with colourful fishing boats.

Gili Islands

The Southwest

A trio of tiny tropical islands off the northwest coast, known simply as ‘the Gilis’ are the goto place for laid-back island life and the simple pleasures of sun, sea and superb scuba diving. Each of these three islands has its own distinctive atmosphere; the smallest is Gili Meno, a peaceful tropical island haven with few distractions other than deserted white sand beaches and a couple of chilled out beach bars. Legendary ‘party island’ Gili Trawangan is largest and most cosmopolitan of the Gili Islands with no shortage of swanky boutique villas, diverse dining and plenty of action after dark. Gili Air, located closest to the Lombok mainland, sits somewhere in the middle of these two extremes and has the most authentic local atmosphere. The enduring appeal of the Gili Islands is the refreshing absence of any motorised transport making for a pleasant alternative to Bali’s congested beach resorts. Scuba diving is still the main draw and it is one of Asia’s top spots to learn the basics and get qualified. For landlubbers, there are few better places to get horizontal on a tropical beach and soak up the unique island vibe.

Lombok’s ruggedly beautiful southwest peninsular is largely unexplored by visitors but is now getting serious recognition with the discovery of superb offshore scuba diving and miles of deserted beaches. The main gateway is Sekotong Bay, located just south of Lombok’s main ferry port Lembar and is the jumping off point for Lombok’s ‘Secret Gilis.’ These small offshore islands feature pristine coral reefs and idyllic tropical beaches for a real castaway experience. Heading south, the coastal road winds its way past tiny fishing communities and secluded bays all the way to the tip of the peninsular where the legendary surf breaks of Bangko Bangko (Desert Point) are found — rated among the best in the world.

Kuta and South Lombok Like its namesake in Bali, Kuta Lombok is synonymous with world-class waves but thankfully without the hassle of 24/7 traffic and infuriating beach hawkers. In fact, Lombok’s south coast surf breaks are more than a match for the best in Bali, and savvy surfers are heading here to enjoy miles of uncrowded, adrenaline-fuelled waves. Kuta, invitingly close to Lombok’s new international airport, is the main tourist hub yet remains a fairly tranquil tropical haven favoured by both surfers and adventurous families. It makes for a great base for exploring the rugged southern coastline dotted with numerous breathtaking beaches. Scenic highlights include up-andcoming Tanjung A’an, Gerupak and isolated Ekas Bay.

Mount Rinjani For an alternative to surf, scuba and sandy beaches, a trek up the immense Rinjani volcano is hard to beat. At over 3,700 meters, this is Indonesia’s second highest volcano and makes for challenging 3–4 day trek but the views are definitely worth all the effort. The mountain dominates much of north Lombok and the caldera alone covers a mind-boggling 50 square kilometres. Most climbers only go as far as the crater rim which offers vertigo-inducing views down into the volcanic lake but the extra effort to get to the summit will be rewarded with views as far as Java and eastwards across to the island of Sumbawa. If this all sounds too arduous for comfort, the mountain’s foothills offer a wealth of leisurely hiking opportunities. Head to Senaru village for easy-going walks through remote weaving villages and dense jungle to uncover a succession of scenic waterfalls.
