Gunung Anak Dara Sembalun Sunrise Trek

Discover one of Sembalun’s most breathtaking hidden gems! Combined with our expertise in mountain trekking, Tutik Rinjani Trekker offers the guided Gunung Anak Dara Sunrise Trek—an invigorating climb to Lombok’s second-highest peak in the Sembalun valley, standing tall at 1,923 meters above sea level.

Located right across from Mount Rinjani, Bukit Anak Dara offers a slightly more challenging and quieter alternative to neighboring hills. Known for its lush pine forests, steep ridge trails, and sweeping 360-degree views, this trek rewards hikers with an unrivaled vantage point of Mount Rinjani, the colorful Sembalun farmland grid, and the distant Sumbawa island over the ocean.

Highlights of the Experience

  • Spectacular 360-Degree Panorama: Take in unobstructed views of Mount Rinjani’s imposing summit, the coast of East Lombok, and the neighboring island of Sumbawa.

  • Golden Sunrise Above the Clouds: Watch the sun rise over the ocean horizon as early morning mist rolls gently through the valleys below.

  • Famous Farmland Patchwork: Marvel at the iconic geometric carpet of Sembalun’s vibrant agricultural fields from 1,923 meters elevation.

  • Scenic Ridge Trail & Pine Forest: Trek through shaded pine groves and along scenic grassy ridges on a less crowded, authentic trail.
