TRIBUN-BALI.COM, DENPASAR – Dalam tour yang dilakukan JED ke Nusa Penida, bersama travel-blogger, musisi, dan media, untuk menikmati alam dan budaya di sana. Keterlibatan warga desa, sangat penting dalam ekowisata yang dikembangkan JED.
“Sebab sejatinya pariwisata seharusnya menguntungkan mereka,” jelas Dega Erlangga, Manager JED. Ini terlihat jelas dalam uji coba, yang dilangsungkan. Saat peserta uji coba menuruni satu persatu tangga di mata air Guyangan, dengan sabar Kadek, pemadu sekaligus Kepala Dusun Batukandik II, menemani peserta sembari bercerita tentang sejarah keunikan mata air terbesar (212 liter/dt) di Nusa Penida ini.
Medan yang terjal menantang, lenyap oleh pemandangan indah dan cerita serta pesona mata air Guyangan yang viral di media sosial.
Membuat lelah peserta dibayar tuntas. Demikian juga saat peserta, melanjutkan perjalanan menyusuri Banjar Semaya, yang terkenal dengan rumput lautnya.
Diah, pemudi setempat, dengan sigap menerangkan bagaimana rumput laut selama puluhan tahun telah menghidupi desanya.
Tangannya terlihat tangkas, mempraktekan keseharian bersama teman-temannya membantu orang tua mengikat rumput laut.
“Dari rumput laut kami bisa sekolah,” jelasnya bangga. Malam menjelang. Tampak beberapa penari mulai bersiap. Perangkat gamelan sederhana, juga sudah nampak diatas panggung. Anak-anak yang akan memainkan gamelan terlihat begitu antusias.
Di sebuah sudut, beberapa ibu-ibu di wilayah sekitar Umah Melajah Bukit Keker, tidak sabar menunggu pementasan.
“Ini pertama kali saya akan menonton suami saya pentas di luar pura. Dia jarang sekali menghibur saya. Saya juga ingin terhibur, sebagaimana tamu yang kesini juga mendapatkan hiburan ini,” ungkap istri Wayan dengan tersenyum.
Pementasan Bondres dengan lakon sederhana, yakni tentang kehidupan di Umah Melajah Bukit Keker, berlangsung begitu cair dan penuh canda tawa.
Interaksi antara penari, peserta uji coba dan ibu-ibu, membuat batasan antara tamu dan tuan rumah menjadi tidak terasa. Begitu akrab, walau dalam tempo sangat singkat.
“Ini alasan kami mengembangkan seni budaya disini, karena kita hidup di dalamnya. Kami akan terus mengajar anak-anak menari, membaca lontar, membuat kerajinan tangan dari material yang bisa di dapat disini, mengajar tentang budaya bersih, pengelolaan lingkungan, agar kebudayaan ini terus menghidupi kami. Walaupun tanpa pariwisata, seperti di musim pandemi ini,” ungkap Wayan Karta, salah satu penari, yang juga ketua Yayasan Taksu Tridatu.
Ia telah mendedikasikan lahan keluarganya, untuk membangun Umah Melajah. (ask)

Report from Bali Tribune Journalist, A A Seri Kusniarti
TRIBUN-BALI.COM, DENPASAR – On a tour carried out by JED to Nusa Penida, together with travel bloggers, musicians and media, to enjoy the nature and culture there. The involvement of village residents is very important in the ecotourism developed by JED.
“Because tourism should actually benefit them,” explained Dega Erlangga, Manager of JED. This was clearly visible in the trials, which took place. When the trial participants descended the stairs one by one at the Guyangan spring, patiently Kadek, the integrator and Head of Batukandik II Hamlet, accompanied the participants while telling them about the unique history of the largest spring (212 liters/second) in Nusa Penida.
The steep, challenging terrain disappears with the beautiful views and stories and charm of the Guyangan spring that have gone viral on social media.
Tired participants are paid in full. Likewise, participants continued their journey along Banjar Semaya, which is famous for its seaweed.
Diah, a local woman, quickly explained how seaweed has supported her village for decades.
His hands look dexterous, he practices his daily activities with his friends, helping his parents tie seaweed.
“From seaweed we can go to school,” he explained proudly. Night approaches. Several dancers were seen starting to prepare. Simple gamelan instruments can also be seen on stage. The children who were going to play the gamelan looked very enthusiastic.
In a corner, several women in the area around Umah Melajah Bukit Keker, couldn’t wait for the performance.
“This is the first time I will watch my husband perform outside the temple. He rarely entertains me. “I also want to be entertained, just like the guests who come here also get this entertainment,” said Wayan’s wife with a smile.
The Bondres performance with a simple play, namely about life at Umah Melajah Bukit Keker, was very fluid and full of laughter.
The interaction between dancers, trial participants and mothers makes the boundaries between guests and hosts invisible. So familiar, even in a very short time.
“This is the reason we develop arts and culture here, because we live in it. We will continue to teach children to dance, read lontar, make handicrafts from materials that can be found here, teach about clean culture, environmental management, so that this culture continues to support us. “Even without tourism, like in this pandemic season,” said Wayan Karta, one of the dancers, who is also chairman of the Taksu Tridatu Foundation.
He has dedicated his family’s land to build Umah Melajah. (ask)
