Central Lombok is the tourist heart of the Island. The area concludes the traditional villages which are visited in most daytrips - and which are not far from the 'big three' cities - and the southern coast: Kuta beach, where the festivities around the sea worms (nyale) takes place and Tanjung Aan, with beautiful beaches for surfing. Many travel agencies organize daytrips to these easy to reach destinations.
For those who are more than just a little bit interested in Sasak culture certainly has to bring a visit to Batu Kumbung village, northeast of Mataram. It's a traditional Sasak-village, 3.5 km north of the Narmada Water palace. Some women still weave traditional fabrics, decorated by the ikat-technique. There is a creek, which is said to be healing.
The village has a certain degree of fame because of it's music- and dance-groups. They perform in the region at weddings. The environment is very good for a walk. You can learn the local dances or learn to play an instrument. It's possible to spend the night in a home stay.

West Lombok
West Lombok has both the lushness of Bali and the starkness of outback Australia. The 3,726m Rinjani volcano dominates the northwest of the island, while the southwest is arid and covered by savannas.
Famous for its basket ware, pottery and ikat hand woven textiles, Lombok has exceptional charm and is relatively undiscovered, except for Sengiggi and the Gili islands that have become popular tourism areas. We visit traditional villages and a local market in search for rare pieces of handicraft.
With the three 'big cities', the airport and the biggest concentration of hotels, West-Lombok is the best place to stay for the visitor. Here are the popular Gili Islands, as well as the most important Balinese temples, the center of Wetu Telu and mount Rinjani. The first route takes the tourist north, from Ampenan to Senggigi beach, Gili's, Wetu Telu center Bayan and surrounding, and eventually to the foothills of Moutn Rinjani. The second route goes south to quiet beaches and surfing locations of the southern peninsula.
Geographically
West Lombok is stay at 115°4´- 116° East Longitude and 8°12´ - 8°55´ South Latitudes with its boundaries is:
East Side: Central Lombok Regency and East Lombok Regency
West Side: Java Sea

Semut Railway Station
With very disappointed and concerned feeling to see the last condition of Semut Railway Station which have not maintained again. History story that accompany it, would annihilate. In all of state, the historic places are always looked after carefully, museum become the crowded place to be visited.
Semut Railway Station is a culture pledge which its age is more than 100 years. Semut Railway Station is surely recognized in each and everyone who lived in Surabaya, even if Perumka now unable to animate as train business place.
Even matt and ancient impression is hardly seen at front face from the station that is also known as Surabaya Kota Station. The foray news of this ancient station interior show, how not care of this nation with its valuable omission.
The unloading to be made shops is a real reason simple, merely to fulfill the desire to get the money quickly. Even if not be seen from front of it face, but the unloading only leave over block rest of stone wall which is have not toppled, a number of door and matt pepper and salt cushion in frontage and station back.
Door and window frame in the building have gone, a number of roof rooms is nor. And so do the platform roof is remaining it iron framework. Even a door handle has disappeared. Only lag one of door handle in one of station back door.
Semut Railway Station, which become one of workload center in Surabaya city and part of the journey length history of Surabaya city now likely naked. Would far more valuably if this station is made become a museum "lived" to show it past properties, and maintain tending to stripper trains sold as scrap.
The constitution number 5 in 1992 about Cultural pledge goods and Lord Mayor Decree Letter (SK) Number 188.45/251/402.1.04/1996 no longer has bothered. The condition of this station has been unloaded. Though this culture pledge building seen steady, nicely and rareness. Like station zinc roof which have been taken. Marbles that decorating a half of its wall along the length of approximant 150 meters in station backside is picked so it show its stucco only.
Dutch epoch teak woods, which still very worth, had lost. The antique door handles in door of the door backsides also do not miss falling as a victim. Based on the constitution dated 6 April 1875 Staatsblad Number 141 the Government of Dutch Indies set mind to built train line network in Java with expense of government and called staats spoorweg (SS).
In 1875 it started begin to develop the train line of Surabaya - Pasuruan and Surabaya - Malang. Surabaya city Station, which located in important business area, is made as the guidance for second start line. Spoorstation Semoet or Semut Railway Station opened by The Excellency Governor General JW VAN LASBERGE in 1878, just with open of line Surabaya-Pasuruan.
Line of Surabaya - Pasuruan at that moment is assumed of vital importance; cause in Umbulan, Pasuruan there is a real big source of water to fulfill the resident cleanness amount of water-required Surabaya and its surroundings. The water stock from Umbulan to Surabaya is transported by applied a train.
During that period, Semut Railway Station is one of two famous stations in Surabaya city formerly. The other station is Pasar Turi Station. This station is part of south line serving route Surabaya - Solo - Yogyakarta, Tasikmalaya, Bandung, and Jakarta.
At that time, Jakarta - Surabaya line still gone through a journey during three days. When the night arrived, the train desists and the passenger lodge in hotels to continue it journey in the next day. Don't know how any man who have been come and go from the station.
Surabaya city at the epoch can be conceived as the train city because it has four big stations, namely Wonokromo, Gubeng, Pasar Turi, and Semut, which now it increasingly chance ill defined. It very regret that Surabaya city have not a Train Museum. Even, a historic Semut Railway Station building now threatened crumpled.
"Even, big towns in modern Germany and Roma are in its development not then run over the ancient building which they have. So if pay a visit the visitor still can enjoy debris rest of Romanic Kingdom omissions over there which only pillars or debris that taken care of carefully. And so do Malaysia that taking care of it omission building in British colony period over there carefully.
Besides, the historic building contained of education element. It can become a life laboratory for generation hereinafter in studying matters, start from the physical of building so it history value. Back part of it, keeping to the building will give a profit from the tourism aspect.
For town station case for example, can be done an adaptation. Seen front or building face doesn't change, but interior can adapt with the requirement. Addition of the building can be done by accommodating the design with the stripper building. Ibis Hotel for example, can become a good example in Surabaya.
In the friendly development effort to pledge cultural building, told by Timoticin, Surabaya still be lag compared to Jakarta which also rich of culture pledge building.
For example is the dockyard culture pledge building adaptation Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (VOC) in Kakap Street, north Jakarta, become a luxuriant restaurant that has crowded to visit.
For a while, Perumka (The Train Departments) decide to delay the warehouse unloading. But, that have not meant will save the historic sites. It needs the morale responsibility to maintain the building, which ever become part of Surabaya city writhing.

Kalimas Traditional Seaport
Kalimas traditional seaport is located at the east of Kalimas River, lies about 10 kilometers west of Kenjeran beach. Comprising a two-kilometre stretch of warehouse and wharves along the East ward flank of Tanjung Perak, Kalimas is a living history of Surabaya's maritime heritage where carts and human toil continue to load and unload merchandise into and out of tile holds of brooch-beamed Phinisi Schooners. The best visit in order to see the loading and unloading activities is in the morning or before the sun, climbs too high and schooners set sail. The available facilities are; place parked, lodging and restaurant. It is easy reachable by various public vehicles.
Kalimas is the fraction of Brantas River that has upstream in Mojokerto town, flow into northeast direction and have estuary in Surabaya (Madura Strait). A hypothesis tell Kalimas is river becoming the gateway of Majapahit Kingdom, and in this river have ever happened encounter between Raden Wijaya (the founder of Majapahit) fight against Tar-tar (Mongol) team at 13th century.
Kali Mas is also as the limited line between Sidoarjo regency and Gresik regency. The estuary of Kalimas is traditional port of Surabaya, which have been there since for centuries ago. A number of the bridges getting through Kalimas in Surabaya now specified as culture pledge, refer to it historical value.
Port of Kalimas Remain a Memory
Otherwise got serious attention, Traditional Port of Kalimas Surabaya, will remain history. Workload of goods loading and unloading in this port always decline for a number of last years, and now more and more concern. Whereas institution related to Kalimas public Port management, seems to no longer care at continuity that have age traditional port life hundreds of this year. The many dirt cause water quality and environmental along the length of Kalimas is not balmy like formerly.
Now Traditional Port of Kalimas Surabaya, not as a pledge port anymore, because, some of ship entrepreneurs or service user transportation of public ship, have changed over to port in Gresik. Some last year, motor sailing boat (KLM) wood conveyor from Kalimantan a lot cargo handling still in this Kalimas port, but now they more love to unload goods in Gresik port because it more conducive.
The public perpetrators now look for best alternative to return the bustle of goods cargo-handling current. Concerning basic problem is traffic path of Madura Strait, which is solid, because the merchant marine grass, battleship TNI AL and ferry ship, must, broken and overcome soon, including port superficiality.
If years before all motor sailing boat (KLM) which cargo handling in Kalimas port reach 150-200 ships, now remain 60-70 ships. That also ship that have capacities at the most 250 tons.
Kalimas, Formerly and Now
In kampongs Surabaya formerly, there are architecture typical of kampong called "mask house", or "mask style". Its form stonewall vestibule, have wide glass window, with tiling or ceramics floor. In short natty and light. From bedroom until kitchen with is soil floor and have bamboo matting wall (gedhek sesek).
Kalimas, which separate the town heart, is actually a source of life symbol. In hinterland of river irrigate farm, fertilize rice field, suffuse fishpond, and yield crop, make the countryside welfare. Exploiting of river intensively and proportional. Kalimas ought to able to be exploited fully and appropriately for resident prosperity.
There is an old story in Raden Rahmat or Sunan Ampel epoch, 15th century, which gift land from King Majapahit cover Ngampel Denta, perhaps from Botoputih until Kalimas, mention that every town admission fish boat people boat throw some big fish to east continent that taken care by the Moslems. That fishes are for Kanjeng Sunan pleading it benediction and prayer.
A story, when Raden Rahmat had wudlu in Kalimas, found an item drift ruby. He wish to eat his finding, hence before that is he fringe river to request permit at the garden owner which its ruby fall to river. Do not one also there are people confess or no ruby garden along the length of ridge. After far trace finally find ruby garden in an area (Darmokali now). The ruby garden property of Mbah Bungkul, the founder of that area. Raden Rahmat meet the owner and request permit to eating his finding ruby. Mbah Bungkul was hardly impressing to Raden Rahmat sincerity.
Kalimas also save the important history story. On 31 Mays 1293 Raden Wijaya (Majapahit Empire Founder) valiantly and spirit and the warrior soul successfully break and dissipate of Tar-Tar army, Mongolia emperor team from Majapahit earth. Tar-Tar army left Majapahit through Ujung duramen, a countryside, which located in north back part North off Surabaya, in Kalimas estuary.
Kalimas now and which will come applied for water tourism by using boat follow the river current to enjoy some of Surabaya city.
