The trek starts from Sembalun Lawang with the gentle ascent walking through open grassland used as cattle grazing by local people.

Day 02 : NIGHT CLIMB TO THE VERY TOP

From the shelter there allow four hours to reach the summit start early morning 03.00am leave Pelawangan for the TOP (Summit). We watched the sun rise over Sumbawa from the junction of paths, before starting the final ascent. The view from the rim is great, but it’s nothing compared with the view from the very top! From the top, you look down into the crater, which fills up with ‘cotton wool’ cloud streaming through the gap in the crater wall at the hot springs. In the distance, you look over Bali in one direction and Sumbawa in the other. And trek down to the lake up to 6 hrs around the hot spring there are several species of small water bird on the lake and the lake has been stocked with fish over the last few years, setting up camp sites at lake, time to soak your body in the spring, overnight.
