2 Days
Travelers usually arrive an Pemenang port via Bali or Gili Islands. Some travelers may arrive via Lombok airport. In both situations, we offer transportation to our homestay in Senaru as part of your package. You will arrive at our homestay and have dinner. You will be able to enjoy beautiful views from our outdoor dining area as well as watch monkeys right below you. You can also walk to Tiu Kelep waterfall which is only 20 minutes by foot. The trail is right in front of our homestay.
You will start your day with breakfast and coffee or tea. You will start with a 1 hour drive to Sembalun. This day you will hike all day until late afternoon, stopping for lunch in the middle. You will arrive at the crater rim in the late afternoon where your porters will already be setting up camp. You will spend the evening enjoying the views from the crater rim & have dinner. You sleep at the crater rim.
On the 3rd day, you will wake up at 2:00am for a quick breakfast and then hike to the summit starting at around 2:30am. You will reach the toughest part of the trek at around 5:00am, which is a rocky accent to the summit. The footing here is loose, but you are not in danger of falling off the mountain. It is just strenuous because of the loose, gravel like rocks. You reach the summit just before sunrise, and enjoy it from the peak for about 20-30 mins. After summiting, you will come back to crater rim for a big breakfast and then start to descend the mountain. If traveling to Sembalun, the decent is mildly steep. If traveling to Senaru, most of the day is through thick rainforest. We will stop mid-day for lunch, and then continue after lunch. Once at the bottom of the mountain, you will be driven back to the port or airport. If you plan to stay for one of our other adventures, you will be brought back to our homestay in Senaru.
