Begin your adventure with a scenic drive winding up the mountain slopes, offering panoramic views of deep gorges and tropical canopy before reaching the high-altitude valley of Sembalun.
Rising gently above the valley floor, Bukit Selong offers an iconic view of Sembalun’s agricultural fields, woven together like a giant, colorful patchwork quilt against the backdrop of Rinjani’s ancient caldera.
From the valley, descend toward the lush northern rainforest of Senaru. A gentle, well-maintained forest trail leads you to your first waterfall, Sendang Gile. Dropping dramatically over two distinct tiers, the mist from this waterfall is believed by locals to possess rejuvenating properties. It’s a magnificent introduction to Lombok's volcanic water network.
The true highlight of the day is the trek deeper into the jungle to find Tiu Kelep. Guided safely by your local expert, walk along a river canyon, cross shallow crystal-clear streams, and pass through lush tropical tunnels. Emerging from the jungle, you will be greeted by the breathtaking sight of Tiu Kelep, where water thunders down a 45-meter cliff, hidden behind a soft veil of natural mist. Brave the spray for an unforgettable swim in the deep, invigorating volcanic pool below.
Relax on the return journey, stopping at a handpicked local viewpoint to spot wild black ebony leaf monkeys playing in the canopy, concluding a day of pure highland magic.
