In addition, there is also sate Rembiga, a savory and spicy beef satay originating from the Rembiga area, Mataram.

In some villages such as Sade and Ende, people still live in traditional thatch—roofed houses with earthen floors covered with Buffalo droppings-not to be dirty, but believed to keep warm and keep insects away. In this place, you can see firsthand how people live in harmony with nature and traditions.
One of the most interesting traditions of the Sasak people is Nyongkolan, which is a traditional wedding procession in which the groom is paraded with a group to the bride's House. These wines are accompanied by drum beleq (traditional musical instruments), dances, and typical songs are full of passion. This procession is not only a wedding ceremony, but also a place of entertainment and pride of the villagers.

Here, guests are treated to traditional dishes such as ayam taliwang, plecing kangkung, and racing rice, everything is prepared by mutual assistance. This tradition is not only about eating and celebrating, but also strengthening social ties among people.
Lombok is also known as "The City Of A Thousand Churches”, because almost in every corner of the village there is a mosque or mosque. But on the other hand, this island is also a place for various other beliefs such as Hinduism and Buddhism. This symbol of tolerance is reflected in Pura Lingsar, a place of worship shared by Hindus and followers of Wetu Telu—a local belief that blends Islam, Hinduism and Sasak ancestral traditions.
In Pura Lingsar, people of the two beliefs can worship side by side, sharing space without conflict, showing that the value harmony and mutual respect it has been a part of Lombok's identity for a long time.
