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.

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.
