What you'll do
During vacations, some tourists intentionally skip exercising to enjoy recreational experiences—visiting various places, tasting more local cuisine, and so on. However, there are many ways to stay active and keep your body moving without missing out on the fun moments of your holiday. If you're in Mandalika, Lombok, there are several sports activities you can do without missing the beautiful nature exploration that is the main attraction of this area. Here are some exciting sports recommendations in the nature of Mandalika, Lombok, to fill your vacation days in a new way.

Your itinerary

1. Trekking
Don't get me wrong, Mandalika has many beautiful hills that you don't want to miss. You can also feel the serenity and calm atmosphere in the hills of Mandalika by trekking. Bukit Selong is one of them. Once you reach the top of the hill with an altitude of 1,800 meters above sea level, you will be treated to a beautiful and magnificent panorama that is comparable to the climbing effort. The access to climb Bukit Selong has been provided with stairs. In addition, there is Merese Hill which is a favorite of tourists. Whether it's the rainy season that makes the hills green or the dry season that turns the dry grass yellow, Merese Hill never disappoints.


2. Surfing
As a coastal area, surfing is definitely a familiar activity. In Mandalika, the long stretch of beaches offers you the chance to enjoy the sea in a different—more fun and healthy—way. Surfing is one of them. Some of the beaches that are perfect for you to explore while testing your skills and adrenaline are Seger Beach, Ubrug Beach, and Mawi Beach. These three beaches have perfect currents and waves for a better surfing sensation.


3. Berenang
Similar to surfing, swimming is also a fun activity while exploring the nature of Mandalika Lombok and exercising at the same time. Some beaches are quite safe for swimming, such as Tanjung Aan, Kuta Mandalika Beach, and many others. However, pay attention to the sea conditions. If the tide is too high, do not venture too far from the shore. Make sure you stay within the observation range of others to minimize any risks. Besides swimming, you can also go snorkeling. The beautiful underwater world of Mandalika is too precious to miss. You can register and rent equipment from local snorkeling businesses instead of bringing your own.


4. Jogging
This simple exercise can be done anywhere during your vacation—including in Mandalika. Even more exciting, besides running on paved roads, you can add a challenge by running along the beach while enjoying the natural music of the waves and the blowing wind. If you don't want it to be too hot, you can jog while welcoming the sunrise or bidding farewell to the sunset over the vast expanse of the sea. Some beaches (usually those within special areas) also provide jogging tracks. So, those are some types of sports you can do while on vacation in Mandalika, Lombok. Instead of waiting around in your hotel room or exploring the city and island by vehicle, it's better to stay healthy even during holidays. To make it easier, make sure you choose the type of sport that suits your preferences and comfort. Some personal equipment (such as sports clothes and shoes) should be prepared from the start, except for equipment like snorkeling gear, which you can rent at the destination. So, who says vacations have to be all about comfort without considering health? Let's explore the exotic corners of Mandalika Lombok with the most fun outdoor activities for you to enjoy!
