Day 1: Sembalun Village to Crater Rim
We start from the Sembalun entrance, trekking through the open savannah. The trail is relatively flat initially but becomes steep as we approach the crater rim. We will have lunch at Pos 2 before tackling the famous 'Seven Regret Hills'. We arrive at Sembalun Crater Rim in the late afternoon to set up camp and enjoy the sunset.

Day 2: Summit, Lake & Hot Springs
Summit day starts at 2 AM. We climb the loose scree to the 3,726m peak for sunrise. After celebrating at the top, we descend back to camp for breakfast and then trek down into the crater to Segara Anak Lake.

Instead of climbing up, we follow the river valley down towards Torean. The trail passes the 'Susu' cave, majestic waterfalls like Penimbung, and hugs the cliffside of the valley.
