Tete Batu Lombok’s Nature Trekking Adventures: A Full-Day Eco-Tour With Soul

Discover the Green Soul of Lombok in Tetebatu

Welcome to Tete Batu, a hidden eco-paradise on the southern slopes of Mount Rinjani, where nature speaks in whispers of bamboo rustles, bird songs, and the distant roar of waterfalls. Unlike the bustling tourist hubs of Senggigi or Kuta Lombok, Tetebatu is a tranquil highland village, preserving Sasak traditions and showcasing the island’s untouched natural beauty.

If you're seeking a meaningful travel experience—where every step deepens your connection to the Earth—our Tete Batu Lombok’s Nature Trekking Adventures is your ideal full-day itinerary. Offered exclusively by Lombok Heritage at tetebatutour.com, this guided eco-walk blends adventure, education, and cultural immersion.

Why Choose Tetebatu for a Nature Trek?

Tetebatu is often dubbed the "Ubud of Lombok" for good reason. From rice terraces that rival Bali's Jatiluwih to ancient forests teeming with wildlife, every corner here tells a story of harmonious living between humans and nature. The altitude (700–800m above sea level) blesses it with cool mountain breezes, ideal for a full-day outdoor adventure.

With certified local guides, sustainable travel practices, and authentic cultural encounters, Lombok Heritage ensures your trekking day is not just scenic—but also soulful.
