Day 1 – Sembalun Village to Sembalun Crater Rim

Your adventure begins on the scenic Sembalun Route, where you’ll trek across rolling savannahs and expansive grasslands before gradually gaining elevation. The trail becomes steeper after Pos 3, transitioning into volcanic terrain with loose rocks and sandy sections as you make your final climb to the spectacular Sembalun Crater Rim, where you’ll camp for the night overlooking Segara Anak Lake.

Reaching the summit at sunrise rewards every step with breathtaking 360-degree views across Lombok, Bali’s Mount Agung, Sumbawa Island, and the spectacular Segara Anak Crater Lake.

After celebrating your achievement, you’ll descend back to the crater rim before continuing down a steep and rocky trail to Segara Anak Lake. Although the descent is challenging, you’ll be rewarded with a relaxing soak in the nearby natural hot springs, the perfect way to recover after your summit climb.

Day 3 – Segara Anak Lake to Senaru Village

The final day leads you through the beautiful Senaru rainforest, where towering tropical trees, birdsong, and fresh mountain air create a completely different atmosphere from the volcanic landscape above. The trail is mostly shaded but features a long continuous descent of nearly 2,000 meters, with natural stone steps, tree roots, and occasional muddy sections during the rainy season.
