JAKARTA - There are many ways that foreign racers can do to see firsthand the beauty of Lombok before the Mandalika MotoGP event this weekend. One of them, trekking to Bukit Marese.

Why is Bukit Marese a mandatory destination for travelers? The reason is, in this hill area we can see the beauty of the Mandalika area directly.

We can be witnesses of the beauty of special moments at sunrise and sunset. However, for the first time it seems a bit difficult to realize because not all travelers can get up early in the morning to catch the sunrise. Especially the MotoGP riders who have a busy schedule.

However, actually, climbing Mount Marese is not difficult. This hill is not steep and tends to be very gentle. From the vehicle parking location, we only need to walk about ten minutes to get to the top.

Arriving at the top, we can visit various sides of the hill to witness the beautiful scenery. One of them, the west side of the hill where there is a tree at the end.

Local residents call this hill by the name Merisik, which means bare hill. It is called bald because only one tree is often referred to by visitors as the Troubled Tree.

Merese Hill is located in the southern part of Lombok. From Lombok International Airport, it is only about 45 minutes away by motorized vehicle. There is no entrance ticket that we have to pay to enjoy this beautiful place.

Meanwhile. The Mandalika MotoGP race will take place on March 18-20. In the official Mandalika MotoGP schedule, Race Day for the MotoGP class will take place on Sunday, March 20, at 15.00 WITA or at 14.00 WIB.

As is known, not only MotoGP racing that will take place. The Mandalika Circuit will also hold races in other classes in the Grand Prix of Indonesia. Besides MotoGP, there are also Moto2, Moto3, and the 2022 Asia Talent Cup (ATC).
