After a traditional Lombok welcome dance, you'll board your motorcoach for the first stop on your itinerary, Lingsar Temple, an important symbol of unity among the islands' faiths. Built in 1714, this Hindu shrine also welcomes Buddhists and Muslims worshipers. Many of the island's Sasak people adhere to Wekku Telu, a less orthodox form of Islam that has fused with native animist beliefs and practices. The northern, elevated part of the temple is the Hindu section, while the Wektu Telu worship in the southern section.

Lingsar is famous for a pool of water in the Wektu Telu area, sacred to the deity Vishnu. The pool is home to eels that feed on hard-boiled eggs tossed to them by worshippers. Together with your guide, you'll venture inside the temple, and explore its outer buildings and purchase eggs from stalls outside the temple to feed the eels yourself.

You'll make your way to Mataram, the capital city of West Nusa Tenggara Province. You'll browse through local pearls shops before continuing on to Sesela where you'll quickly understand why the village is renowned for its ketak and cukli carvings. Ketak, a native shrub, was once used primarily for elegant household wares including rice baskets and fish traps. Ornamental cukli carvings consist of pieces of pearl shell affixed to the ketak wood. You'll be awestruck as the artisans carve masks and other decorative wall hangings, calligraphy, frames, lattice, animals, trees or storage boxes.

Your final stop is Nusa Tenggara Barat Province museum, where you'll witness exhibits on the geology, history and culture of Lombok and Sumbawa. You'll marvel at a traditional Dongson drum, handwoven songket collections (silver or gold-threaded cloth), and intricately detailed Kris knives, asymmetrical daggers indigenous to Indonesia and the Malay World for at least 500 years. One awe-inspiring showcase holds "mystical" paraphernalia with amulets used to acquire supernatural force, immunity from weapons or to foretell the future. Refreshment of traditional cakes are provided in the Museum.
