2 Days 1 Night Pergasingan Hill Sembalun Hiking & Camping

2 Days 1 Night Pergasingan Hill Hiking and Camping Program: Mount Pergasingan Sembalun Lombok is a natural tourist park rising to an altitude of 1,806 meters above sea level. This nature park is an elevated ridge located directly north of Sembalun village in East Lombok.
The name Pergasingan derives from the Sasak word ‘Gasing’ (traditional wooden spinning top), as the people of Sembalun have historically used this high hill for festive Gasing game competitions. Today, it offers travelers one of the most rewarding nature viewpoints in the Indonesian archipelago.
"We welcome you to join our two-day stroll through the rice fields, to speak with the farmers, and to delight in the landscape from the high slope called Pergasingan Hill. From a height of 637 m above the village and fields of Sembalun, the perspective reveals a superb display of the ancient caldera of Mt. Rinjani."
