When hearing the tourist attractions in Lombok, then that comes to mind is the stretch of Senggigi beach hotels on the beach, Tanjung Aan place to surf and 3 Gili that is Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air with natural beauty under the sea. But has it ever occurred to visit waterfalls Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu. Understandable if the waterfall Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu less known because of lack of information. On a map of the island of Lombok is not written waterfall Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu. Along the way to the waterfall Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu no signpost, only twice found signpost. While many travel agencies that do not include a waterfall Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu as a tourist destination by reason serute with other tourist destinations such as the village Banyumulek (where craftsmen pottery), Sade traditional village and Kuta Beach. On the internet, little information is available regarding Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu, compared to other waterfall in Lombok, like a waterfall Sendang Gile.Although it may sound ordinary, no one tried to visit the waterfall Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu. Waterfall Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu located in the vicinity of Aik Berik, Batukliang (Lombok the middle). Can be reached by car about 1.5 hours from Senggigi or 1 hour of Mataram. Along the way looks lush paddy fields and rustic atmosphere. Approaching the waterfall Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu, the more narrow and not paved. Actually there are 7 waterfalls in the area, but recently opened 2, ie Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu.Arriving at the gate falls Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu, charges admission for five thousand rupees. After that we can start our adventure, accompanied by a local guide. First we follow the path to the Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu. A few meters after entering the gate, will be found a few stalls. After walking about 30 minutes, along a rocky path, from a distance looks beautiful waterfall Stokel thread that drops down. Then down the stairs to get to the waterfall. Once arrived below, were two adjacent waterfalls, down from a height of about 20 meters.After enjoying a scenic waterfall Benang Stokel, proceed to the waterfall Benang Kelambu about 1 km. The path taken is more difficult because of steep, narrow and slippery when it rains. After walking about 45 minutes, arrived at the waterfall Benang Kelambu. Waterfall Benang Kelambu larger than Benang Stokel waterfall. Water that falls from a height of 40 meters interrupted during plant looks like mosquito benang, so called waterfall Benang Stokel.To unwind, guests can bathe there or just play in the water flowing between the rocks. Cool weather coupled with the fresh water can relieve fatigue after walking in rugged terrain.At home, their journey is not as heavy as it comes. The road is wider, even along the road that is being made for the driveway to the waterfall Benang Stokel. Along the way looks a banana plantation owned by locals. With any luck, we will see monkeys playing in the woods.Beautiful waterfalls Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu comparable to the difficult journey that has been taken, especially for travelers who like trekking. Unfortunately, the awareness of the visitors to keep the waterfall area is less, there is still an old plastic waste food strewn along the path.In spite of some shortcomings of the waterfall Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu, such as lack of signboard, lack of information, lack of public facilities such as lavatories and hygiene are less secure, not hurt us to visit the waterfalls Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu, when we visited the island Lombok. Enjoy waterfalls Benang Stokel and Benang Kelambu.
