•Est. 2h 22m
Kondok Hill is part of the 7 peaks of Mount Sembalun, it is not recommended to do tracking in the rainy season because the track is not possible. Many trees have fallen and some pass through the river (there is a waterfall here) so during the rainy season the volume of water will increase and close the path so you have to find another way.

Segara Anak is a crater lake in the caldera that formed during the explosive volcanic eruption of Mount Samalas in 1257. The caldera is next to Mount Rinjani on Lombok Island in Indonesia. "Segara Anak" means "child of the sea" and refers to the blue lake's resemblance to the sea. The volcanic cone Gunung Barujari is at the eastern end of the lake and is responsible for its crescent shape.

The trek from the Senaru Village, and through the crater to Danau Segara Anak takes two days and a night. It begins with a hike through a lush, tropical rainforest, and up the mountain to the rim of the crater. The trek to the Senaru rim is a challenging climb up steep terrain and high cliffs, but the exhaustion is well rewarded by the breathtaking panoramic view of the sun setting over Mount Rinjani.

Great views

Mount Rinjani is a masterpiece of nature, mesmerizing at every twist and turn of its trails all the way to the crater rim. But make no mistake—Rinjani is not for the faint-hearted. Its breathtaking vistas come hand in hand with real danger. Only those with proper training, unwavering focus, and strong mental endurance can conquer its paths, where sheer cliffs loom on either side and loose gravel turns every step into a test of balance and courage. Every moment on this trail is a dance with both beauty and peril.

We are lucky to be able to complete the summit before mount Rinjani closed for temporary. It was high season but due to some incidents the track down to Segara lake was closed on 17 July but track to summit still opened. It was 3 days 2 nights hike , instead of descending to the lake we camped at post 4. The hike is difficult and need preparation, not recommended for beginners. Every steps were worth it when we finally reach to summit in 6 hours instead of 3.5hrs. We did many times great walks in NZ but this hike was way too difficult for us. Salute to those porters and guides who made it so easily ascending and descending while helping us to summit safely.
