Go to the Baun Paus Monkey Forest located on a mountain pass between the West and North Lombok regencies. The forest road is very beautiful, like a winding hill with views of the lush protected forests, accompanied by the sounds of nature.
The altitude is much higher here than the surrounding coastal towns, which causes thicker, rainforest-like flora to flourish. This makes it a perfect habitat for the resident monkeys. The Pusuk Pass is a winding mountain road that starts in Gunungsari and runs through the mountains inland, to Pemenang in the north. The ascent to the pass offers splendid views of valleys and gorges, with rivers flowing through tropical forests and small villages scattered among the trees.
The jungle is home to families of gray monkeys who come down the road to beg from passing motorists. This area is ideal for short walks among hills and valleys with cool crystal-clear streams. Tucked away in the village of Senaru in the northern regency of Lombok Utara are two of Lombok's most beautiful and popular waterfalls, Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep, located at the foot of majestic Mount Rinjani. It only takes 15 minutes on foot from the entrance to view the marvelous Sendang Gile waterfall.
