Discover Sasak Culture
Journey into the Heart of Sasak Civilization on this profound cultural exploration of Lombok's indigenous heritage. This immersive experience takes you deep into the rural landscapes where the Sasak people have preserved their way of life for centuries, offering you unprecedented access to traditions untouched by mass tourism.
Wander through time-honored Sasak villages where the rhythmic clack of handlooms echoes through bamboo-walled compounds. Watch master artisans practice tenun ikat weaving, their intricate patterns telling stories of clan lineages and spiritual beliefs passed down through generations. In pottery workshops, observe the mesmerizing manual coil technique used since pre-Islamic times, where clay is shaped without wheels into functional cookware and ceremonial vessels.
The countryside reveals living architectural heritage at every turn - from the iconic Lumbung rice barns with their thatched mushroom-shaped roofs to Bale Tani farmers' houses built entirely from natural materials. Learn how these structures are designed in harmony with Lombok's climate and agricultural cycles, their construction techniques unchanged since the Majapahit era.
