 PUSUK MONKEY FOREST

Pusuk Monkey Forest is located in a lush tropical hill forest shared area between West
Lombok and North Lombok Regency. The area is passed by winding road that forming main road
connects north and south part of Lombok. Pusuk is a very cool protected forest that is not far from
the city of Mataram, only 15 km away and there is a border gate between the regencies of West
Lombok (Lobar) and North Lombok Regency (KLU) inhabited by thousands of monkeys.

Along the winding road and its good construction there are separate huts which are the
hangouts for those who want to take a short break to buy sweet palm wine or water made from
palm sugar as well if the durian season will be a lot of durian fruit on a table.

Pusuk is interpreted as the peak of an uphill road by the people of Lombok because this
place is at an altitude of 600 m above sea level which has a mountainous climate, cool and shady by
tall trees from Pusuk. It looks lush and fertile valley that looks beautiful. The vehicle is crowded
because it is a connecting road across North Lombok regency with West Lombok district and
Mataram city.
 During the rainy season this path is very frequent landslides until landslide material closes
the road until traffic jams occur as well as frequent falling trees and for that needs to be vigilant
when crossing this path during the recent rainy season. The shoulder of the road has been given
violence by means of casted with concrete cement because previously only given sand, soil and
stone material. Then crushed with heavy equipment but when the rainy season eroded eroded the
flow of water, besides that in every ravine was iron guardrell or iron if the vehicle might fall into
the ravine, at night there are solar powered street lighting.
