Sembalun Valley & Pergasingan Hill
Sembalun / Bukit Pergasingan
A highland farming valley on the eastern slope of Mount Rinjani. Hiking up Pergasingan Hill rewards you with views of the patchwork fields, sunrise, and clouds.
Sembalun is a highland valley on the eastern slope of Mount Rinjani at an elevation of about 1,150 meters. Surrounded by mountains, it grows strawberries, garlic, and vegetables. The fields look like a patchwork chessboard from above. The climate is cool, and it is the most commonly used starting point for climbing Rinjani. Pergasingan Hill, beside the valley, rises to about 1,700 meters. The summit takes about 2-3 hours to reach. You can camp there to watch the sunrise, and in the morning light you can see the valley and Rinjani's main peak. Apart from Rinjani, it is the most popular short hike. You must register at the checkpoint and pay a fee. The area may close in the rainy season. It is about 3 hours by car from Senggigi.
