LOMBOK PT.2 (GILI T & TIU KELEP) - The Way Overland - Episode 20

Part 2 of our time in Lombok feat. the Gili's and Tiu Kelep Waterfall (Air Terjun Tiu Kelep).

As there is no cars on the Gili's, only push bikes and horse and carriages, we parked the car in a (hopefully) safe parking compound in Bangsal for a few days while we enjoyed a few days on the island.

We booked a couple of nights accommodation on Gili Trawangan which is the most developed island of the three and extremely busy with speed boats and tourists (this came as quite a shock to the system for the first few hours!).

Although our second day here was a little wet and grey we were still able to go for a swim with the turtles just off the shore. Unfortunately tourism here has taken a toll on the reef which runs up the west coast of Gili Trawangan though we noticed a few artificial reefs had been placed in an effort to renew coral growth here.

The following day the weather was much sunnier so the plan was to hire a kayak and paddle over to Gili Meno to an underwater statue just off the beach. Although only just below the waters surface, it took us 20 minutes or so to find the statue due to very poor visibility in the water. After going for a swim around the statues it was time to get back in the kayak, which proved to be easier said than done! The kayak flipped and we'd not secured the GoPro, my mask and Mark's weight belt. In the heat of the moment we didn't even realise until it was too late and they were nowhere to be seen.. So, with only one mask it was up to Mark to dive down for the search party. After a couple of hours of searching and we had our lost property back! WOO!

After a few days on the island we were ready to get back to the car. The next stop on the route is a small village on the northern side of Gunung Rinjani, Senaru. From here there's a 2km walk through the rainforest to a waterfall which is like something out of a fairy tale, Air Terjun Tiu Kelep.

Coming to the end of the wet season in Indonesia, this waterfall was in full force and to explore behind the falls was lets just say, intense!

Next week we’re finishing off our time in Lombok by visiting one last waterfall before we catch the ferry to Bali.

Thanks for watching! We’d love to hear suggestions of places to visit so feel free to leave us a comment below!
