After lunch and rest, we will continue our journey to Pelawangan Sembalun (2639m). It takes 3 hours because of climbing the climbing tracks which are uphill but safe for tourists. We stay at the edge of the crater or Plawangan Sembalun, from this place you can enjoy views of the sunset and sunrise as well as Lake Segara Anak.
Day 2 Climbing:
Wake up around 2:30 am, before leaving you will be served hot drinks and light breakfast ( toast) . We will start climbing to the top of Rinjani at 3:00 am. The beginning of the ascent is quite heavy because it is sandy and uphill, then after reaching the top of the trail, it is continued with a fairly easy but longer journey, one hour before reaching the top, the path is sandy, so it requires patience and strong determination to continue the journey. the sandy path makes footsteps feel heavy with added energy. It’s been drained because it’s been walking for 2 hours from the campsite.
At 6:00 am We will reach the top (3726 m) with a beautiful sunrise, and incredible views of Lombok island, Bali island, Sumbawa island, and Segara Anak Lake.
After being satisfied with taking pictures by capturing stunning natural portraits, we will go down to Plawangan Sembalun and take about 2 hours, rest and have breakfast. packing things and then going down to Padabalong Post 3 for 2 hours and stopping here to rest and enjoy the panorama, have dinner and camp here in tents.
