Mount Rinjani Spiritual Journey via Senaru & Sembalun

Answer the call of your soul through the sacred trails of Senaru and Sembalun — more than just paths up a mountain, they are ancient routes of inner return. In the stillness of the tropical forest, under the golden light of the savannah, and beside the sacred waters of Segara Anak Lake, you'll find space to heal, reflect, and reconnect with the universe.

Senaru leads you through mystical rainforest and sacred springs, long revered by the indigenous Sasak people as places of meditation and ancestral prayer. Sembalun, with its vast open grasslands and expansive skies, offers a powerful sense of release — an invitation to shed emotional burdens and receive pure, renewing energy.
