Take a tour of Lombok's traditional villages, seeing craftsworkers create world-renowned pottery and woven fabrics with a painstaking attention to detail. Enjoy lunch on the beach before visiting an adobe village with thatched roofs, and the summer palace of a Balinese king.

Lombok’s terracotta pottery has an international reputation for its quality workmanship. In the village of Banyumulek (clear water) you can see pottery makers painstakingly molding vases, jugs, and plates in exactly the same way as they have been crafted for centuries.

Visit Sukarare, renowned for its traditional weaving. These techniques have been handed down from mother to daughter for generations. Each piece of cloth is woven on a handloom in established patterns and colors. Some fabrics are woven in as many as four directions and interwoven with gold thread. They can be so complicated that they take one person 3 months to complete.

Enjoy lunch in a local restaurant on Kuta Beach, the magnificent south coast. Afterward, continue to Sade, a hamlet built in the traditional Sasak style. The houses are made entirely of adobe, roofed with alang, a type of long grass.

The last stop is the Narmada summer palace, built in 1727 by an old Balinese king. Too frail to journey to the summit of Mt. Rinjani to make his offerings, he had this garden laid out around a spring as a miniature replica of the volcano and the lake.
