Bayan is home to the unique religion Wetu Telu, which combines the original Sasak animism beliefs with Islam and elements of Hinduism. One of the oldest and most important mosques in Lombok, Masjid Kuno (1634), is in Bayan.
Saifana is only 20 minutes drive from Senaru. Be ready to venture in the lush jungle, meet some monkeys, climb a few hundreds stairs and cross a river before reaching the waterfall.
If you like challenges, hiking and beautiful views, this is for you! It takes two hours to reach the top of the hill and you will have a breathtaking view over Mount Rinjani, Sumbawa island and Sembalun’s fields.
An hour away from the farm you will find the less known Gilis of the East which are pristine white sand beaches.
- Gili Kondo : best for snorkeling and camping, no one lives there so if you are lucky, you’ll have the island for yourself
- Gili Bidara : fishermen island
- Gili Petagan : beautiful and wild mangroves.
Weaving is a big part of Bayan cultural custom. Visit the traditional weavers and their shop across from the bamboo mosque. They will be happy to show you their weaving looms and natural dyeing techniques.
The best way to explore Lombok is by riding a scooter. You can rent a scooter at the farm (80.000 IDR/ day) or we can arrange a car with a driver.
