Within the Sesaot forest area, there is a river called the Aik Nyet River. The stream of this river is not too strong and the water is very clear. Like a river near a volcano, the Aik Nyet River is also full of many volcanic rocks. For some people, this river is still considered sacred because it flows directly from Mount Rinjani.
