MOUNT RINJANI text & Photos : Harinda Bama
“I
t looks so forbidding!” James says with his eyes deeply contemplating at the summit of Mount Rinjani, piercing the sky above the island of Lombok. From the crater rim, the afternoon sun illuminates the very top of the volcano, giving a golden hue to the almost floating pyramid above the clouds, leaving its gigantic body on earth. Cold and unforgiving. Six hours earlier we started our hike to Indonesia’s second highest volcano, standing at 3,726 meters, anchoring Lombok amid the Lesser Sunda Islands with Jen Our local guide. The smell of fresh morning grass and the fragrant scent of ripening garlic in locals’ fields boosted our spirit to kick off the long hike through savanna and rain forests.

It was a relatively easy hike and remained so until we reached the second post where an unexpected sumptuous lunch was served on a bridge overlooking a verdant narrow valley, lightening up every hiker’s mood halfway up the hike to our base camp at the crater rim. A generous scoop of rice with fried chicken thigh, stir-fried vegetables, fried tofu and tempe, fresh salad and cut pineapples truly astonished us and fellow hikers. I never imagined to have such decent meal in the middle of nowhere, let alone during a serious hike to a venerable volcano. We were about to enter the rain forests when suddenly my right foot cramped, leaving me limp for a brief second. An old

porter resting nearby who jumped from his place to help and give me a massage before continuing my trip. “How many more hills until we get to the base camp?” I kept asking Jen until I realized that I might have asked the same question too often which made me sound like a very spoiled city guy. At this point we had made friend with four amiable Britons, an eccentric American astrophysicist with his friend who lived in Guangzhou, a lovely Swiss couple, a solo Australian female adventurer, and two small but strong Filipinas who have conquered Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia and Mount Batur in Bali prior to their ascent to Rinjani.
After the strenuous effort to conquer the hills, we barely made it to the base camp before sunset. In front of us the clouds slowly lifted up to reveal the silvery reflection of Segara Anak – the volcanic lake – below. Dewi Anjani, as some locals believe, resides in the massive crater, drawing the more spiritual Hindus from the neighboring island of Bali to come to the crater to present offerings to her. Meanwhile, the mighty summit of Mount Rinjani overlooked from behind, radiating the beautiful yet revered nature of the volcano. The skies turned to some of the most exquisite colors, blanketing Mount Rinjani with sensory festivity to console the weary THE JOURNEY AUG 2015

souls of us – the hikers, coming from four corners of the world to marvel the grandeur of this mighty giant. Under a full moon in cold and harsh temperature, we wake up at 2 am to grab our early breakfast. But my mind does not care of what my palate tastes. It is rather fixated to the silhouette of the towering natural pyramid laid before my eyes. Firm and solid. “Let’s go!” Jen tells us to finish our meal to get ready for the ascent. Thin sheets of dust fly in the air as we
I pushed myself to walk further, down the second third of the trail to the summit through a relatively easier terrain. Alone and under the full moon. The calm and cold ambiance strangely soothes me as I walk further up. The sound of the wind, whirling vaguely around me, complementing the sound of my shoes stepping on the gravels. To my right, the moon shines brightly over one of the peaks around the crater rim, leaving Segara Anak in a complete darkness below. Meanwhile, to my left, the twinkle of the dim lamps from

walk on the steep trail at the first third part from our base camp to the summit. Loose gravels, scree and volcanic ash slow us down as we keep going one step backward after a few steps forward. Upon the end of the first third of the trail to the summit I barely have any energy left to continue the ascent. Realizing that I will only slow My group down, I ask them to leave me and go to the summit before the sun rises. I sit back to rest and catch my breath while watching other hikers pass me by. From this vantage point I can only see a part of the crater with the trail towards the summit laid ahead of me. My feet will not be able to take me to the summit. However, 10| THE JOURNEY AUG 2015
people’s houses in Senaru brighten up the sleepy valley. From afar, tiny dots of light move slowly towards the highest point of Rinjani, catching up with the time to be able to get to the summit before the first light rises from the east. Slowly the sun rises over the neighboring island of Sumbawa, creating a tall shadow over Rinjani’s crater and waking up the edelweiss from the cold of the night. The outline of the island of Lombok starts to be clearly visible, with the three well-known Gilis – Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno, and Gili Air – at the very end of the western part of the island, together forming the stepping

stones to Lombok’s more famous sister, Bali. Mount Agung – Bali’s highest point – comes out from the darkness at the west, seemingly floating above the ocean. This is why we all come here for, to witness such majestic view only very high mountains can provide. Mother nature plays its light orchestra in a slow yet appeasing rhythm. As the sun rises higher, what was previously a dark path leading to the summit is now visible under the sun. A long stretch of thick scree and ash prove to give another challenge to go down to the base camp. The day is still long as we will go down the crater before lunch to see Segara Anak and go back to the other side of the crater
rim before night falls. In our camp, the porters have prepared a big plate of fries with banana pancake and burger and we then prepare ourselves for the descent to Segara Anak where we will dip our feet in the cold water of the volcanic lake to relieve our strained muscles, or so we thought. Going down the steep crater rim through the cloud zone with some nearly vertical path gives further stress to our weary feet. Carrying 10 kg (22 lbs) of luggage on our back clearly does not make things easier. We keep walking, passing through some of the most beautiful ravines studded with blooming edelweiss flowers, but it is the thought of feeling the freshness of Segara Anak that keeps me going. Countless hills we pass through, endless meadows we go by, suddenly the clear water of the lake emerges from behind a hill, propelling ourselves to move faster to call the descent an end. The other hikers who got to the lake before us are already having their lunch, some still with wet hair after swimming in the refreshing lake. Our porters secure a place for us very close to the water and with the breeze of the mountain air, the calmness of the water and the magnificent view of Mount Baru – the small active volcano – refresh our mind and body after the very hard day, so far. we then continue our journey to the other side of the crater rim where our second base camp is located. Walking carefully through fallen rocks scattered along the lake bank, I find the first part of the ascent very relaxing and easy compared to what I had earlier before lunch but not for too long. A 45° trail laid before our eyes is the only way to get to our base camp where we will spend the night. As we go further up, rotting logs from fallen trees often block our way. THE JOURNEY AUG 2015

The Breathtaking view of Lake Segara Anak and Gunung Baru
It turns out to be the longest hike of my life, ever. With my depleting energy, I drag myself, one feet at a time. Finally three hours after we started the ascent, the iron rods leading to the camp sites are finally sighted, bringing a big relief to me as I realize the excruciating hike is almost over. “We’re nearly there,” Jen encourages me. A little past 7 am we start our final descent to the village of Senaru where we left our other baggage before we started the hike two days ago. Rocky path still proves to be a tough terrain for me to conquer as my left ankle has not recovered yet from the injury. The tangled tree roots do act as natural staircases but they have their drawback: dangerously slippery especially in the cloud zone. One hour later the gate to the hike to Mount Rinjani through Senaru is already in our sight, bringing an even higher excitement to us. We are nearly there. The hike to Mount Rinjani was undoubtedly the most strenuous thing 12| THE JOURNEY AUG 2015
we have ever done, but in hindsight the experience truly affirms one of human’s greatest attributes which enables us to conquer the tallest peaks, the deepest oceans, and the most unimaginable places: passion. It pushes us to our physical limit, force our brain to think of ingenious creative solutions for our needs, and make our lives better every day. It was indeed the passion of exploring new places that brought us here, to the mighty giant that is Rinjani. As our plane flies higher to the sky, the sturdy and majestic pyramid of Mount Rinjani, too high for the morning clouds to cover, radiates the golden hue over the island of Lombok. Unforgiving, but one of the best things that Mother Nature has to offer.

An Indonesian word for “freedom”, MERDEKA ! August the 17th 1945, at 10.00 AM a historical moment for the entire nation is about to happen. Crowd start to flocking the yard of a small house in Jl.Pegangsaan Timur 56 in Jakarta. When a group of men exit the house entrance, led by two men. Both men are whom later will be known as the nation’s two founding fathers, Soekarno and Hatta. As Soekarno steps up to with a piece of paper, the crowed stop murmuring and held their breath. In that piece of paper written down the Indonesia’s Declaration of Independence. It is the peak of long struggle against the colonization, and the starting point of a rise of a nation. Now a monument is build on the site and known as the Proclamation Monument, with the statue of Soekarno and Hatta stand between the marble engraved with declaration text. Indonesia have been under Dutch Colonial for more the 300 years. In 1602 the Dutch established the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and became the dominant European power later in 1800 it was replace

by Dutch East Indies as a nationalized colony. By the early 20th century Dutch dominance extended to what was to become Indonesia’s current boundaries. The Japanese invasion and subsequent occupation during WW II ended Dutch rule, and encouraged the previously suppressed Indonesian independence movement. Two days after the surrender of Japan in August 1945, Soekarno declare the independence of the Republic of Indonesia and it brought together this a vast nation to achieve one goal, one free nation. The Netherlands tried to reestablish their rule, but a bitter armed and diplomatic struggle ended in December 1949, when in the face of international pressure, the Dutch formally recognized Indonesian independence. After the declaration of Independence the situation in Jakarta is not safe for the nation’s leader and temporarily the government and capital were moved to Jogjakarta. But on December 1948, the Dutch launch its second military aggression to attack Jogjakarta and manage to capture Indonesian president and vice president, Soekarno and Hatta. To show the world that the fact that the Republic of Indonesia is still stand, a strategic plan for an attack was arranged to take over Yogyakarta from the Dutch. Another great decisive battle also happened in Jogjakarta, Central Java. A

While he was exiled in Ende, Soekarno wrote and held several plays, among the plays were Rendorua Ola Nggera Nusa (Rendo that stirred the archipelago) and Doctor Satan, a revision on the story of Dr. Frankenstein. Near the football field in Ende stands a big breadfruit tree. Under the tree, Soekarno often sat, working on political ideas to lead Indonesia to independence. Those reflections contributed to the idea of Pancasila concept, which is now the nation philosophy of

TEGENUNGAN WATERFALL bali’s hidden beauty text : Irayuni Safitri
A
few sights in Bali could be listed as A-must go sight, such as the Kuta Beach, Tanah Lot & Uluwatu temple, and list could go on and on. But I was planning to seek lesser known sights, a rising star on its way to Bali tourism sights Stardom. So after a few research I eventually set my choice, “I’m going to Tegenungan waterfall” I said to myself, as the image I saw in the internet act as a irresistible temptation for my quest to seek for a new sight in Bali. Early in the morning I started to drive and heads to Kemenuhan village in Gianyar, just about an hour drive from kuta. It is where the Tegenungan waterfall is located and as I drive I realize that I was also slowly moving from the luxurious crowed southern Bali to a more traditional peaceful part of Bali in up north, along the roadside unlike Kuta with its towering buildings, here traditional Balinese houses still lining up, you can see children peacefully playing in the house courtyard and even some women washing clothes in small watercourse in front of their houses. All giving you a true feeling of Balinese peaceful way of life. As I arrive at the entrance, It was nothing special. There are no gigantic entrance gate, no huge permanent ticket counter. Just a small welcome sign and a local official sitting under shady tree to collect the entrance

fee. Everything is still simple, not over commercialize. A good sign that I was right about the sight is still under the radar. I can hear fainting sound of the roaring waterfall, as it was greeting every visitors. Several small stall can be found near the entrance with a resting area facing the waterfall, from there visitors can see the entire landscape view of the Tegenungan Waterfall and its rocky river with the breathtaking lush green natural surroundings. With the relaxing sound of waterfall, fresh breeze and a view like this you can actually sits here all day long just staring at this beautiful creation of mother nature. After a quick break, I then heads down to the waterfall through the stairs. On the way down you can see a few seller selling fresh fruits. A bite of fresh orange in a natural surroundings, really makes my day. A small temple can be found near the bottom with a natural bathing area located close to it with fresh water showers. As I reach the bottom the trembling sound

of the waterfall is pushing me to get there as soon as possible as walk my way through the shallow rocky river. As I reach the waterfall I was stunned, I is gorgeous. The Tegenungan Waterfall is not really that tall, only approximately 15 meters high, so you can actually jump right into a pond at the bottom of the waterfall and I actually saw a couple of foreign visitors takes a jump, they really had a great time. It was very tempting to try, to fell the freshness of Tegenungan waterfall up close and personal. After refreshing myself with a splash of clear water from the river, I then make my way up back to the resting area near the stall. With a fresh young coconut in my hand, I sat down again and relax while enjoying the beauty of Bali’s hidden waterfall, the beautiful Tegenungan Waterfall.

special delicacy of Palembang, South Sumatra. Pempek is a savory fishcake made of fish and tapioca which has a lot of variation on shapes, names, and serving way.

Pempek dough is made of mixture of boneless ground fish meat, commonly used is tenggiri (wahoo) with water, salt, and tapioca. But maybe not all of Pempek seller used tenggiri, they usually use fish that less expensive, such as ikan gabus (snakehead), ikan kembung (mackerel) or gourami fish. The best fish used for pempek is belida, but it is expensive due to its rarity and superior taste. There are a lot of variants of Pempek, such as Pempek Kapal Selam (or the submarine Pempek) as mentioned above. Pempek Lenjer, looks like sausages, it is a long cylindrical pempek.
