Your journey begins in the early hours of the morning. Starting the trek at 12:30 AM allows you to take advantage of the cooler temperatures and reach the crater rim by sunset. Be sure to have all your gear ready the night before. Essentials include sturdy hiking boots, a headlamp, warm clothing, and enough water and snacks to keep you energized throughout the hike.

After several hours of trekking through the lush tropical forest, you’ll reach the Senaru Crater Rim by 6:00 PM. The view from here is nothing short of spectacular. Witness the magnificent panorama of Segara Anak Lake and the surrounding peaks. Take some time to rest, enjoy your packed meal, and capture some photos to remember the breathtaking scenery.

Following a well-deserved rest and possibly a nap, you’ll start your descent back to Senaru Village at around 8:00 AM. The descent offers a different perspective of the lush landscape you traversed in the dark, revealing vibrant flora and fauna along the way.

By 2:00 PM, you should arrive back at Senaru Village. Take this opportunity to reflect on your incredible journey, celebrate your accomplishment, and perhaps enjoy a meal at a local eatery. The village itself is charming, offering a glimpse into local life and culture.
