Pahrul Azim
Bilebante was once referred to as desa debu (dusty village) because of its widespread sand-quarrying activities. Slowly but surely, Bilebante transformed into one of the best tourist villages in Indonesia. The achievement is inseparable from the perseverance of Pahrul Azim, 35.
Sand quarrying in Bilebante, Pringgarata district, Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), dates back to the 1990s, when tens of hectares of paddy fields and plantations in the village turned into sand pits.
