Hiking Pergasingan Hill for 2 days is an alternative hike to enjoy Mount Rinjani from the other side. From the hill of Pergasingan, we will see the beautiful scenery of Sembalun village.
The main purpose of the 2-day hiking to Pergasingan Hill is to enjoy the spectacular sunrise and sunset views. Camp comfortably at the summit, and experience an adventure that is not as strenuous as climbing Mount Rinjani.
This hill offers beautiful views of the village of Sembalun and colourful rice fields, with the majestic Mount Rinjani in the background.
Main goals of the 2-day hike on Pergasingan:
Witnessing breathtaking sunrises and sunsets
- Sunrise: You will be woken up early in the morning to watch the sun slowly rise above the peak of Rinjani and illuminate the valley below.
- Sunset: You can enjoy a dramatic sunset, with the sky changing colours above the mountains and rice fields.
Camping on the hilltop
- Camping on the summit offers the experience of being on “land above the clouds”, with fresh air and a starry night sky.
- If you are lucky, you can even see the Milky Way at night.
Enjoying a unique natural panorama
- From the summit of Pergasingan, you can see colourful rice fields that form unique patterns in the Sembalun valley.
- This view is often referred to as a “photographer’s paradise” due to its picturesque landscape.
