Morning light cuts through rice-terraced slopes as a private car runs the coastal-to-inland road toward central Lombok; the air turns cooler and the scent of wet earth sharpens. You arrive at the gate and set off on a short forest walk—Benang Stokel first, a 20-minute path to a 20‑meter drop that feeds a deep, drinkable pool. The river dares you closer; the pond invites a quick swim.
