Most people visit Lombok for the beaches and the Gili Islands — and they're not wrong to. But there's another side of Lombok that very few travelers get to experience: the cool, misty highlands of Sembalun. Nestled at the foot of Mount Rinjani in East Lombok, Sembalun is a world away from the coast, and Segara Travel's One Day Tour to Sembalun is the easiest way to see it all in a single day.

Why Sembalun Should Be on Your Lombok Itinerary

Sembalun sits at roughly 900 meters above sea level, which means temperatures are noticeably cooler and the landscape is lush, green, and dramatic. The area is surrounded by terraced rice fields, strawberry farms, and traditional Sasak villages — with Mount Rinjani looming majestically in the background.

If you've been to Lombok before and want something different, or if you're looking for a break from the beach during your trip, Sembalun is the answer. It's scenic, cultural, and surprisingly easy to reach with the right guide.

What You'll See & Do

1. Pusuk Sembalun — A Panoramic Welcome at 900m

Your journey into the highlands begins at Pusuk Sembalun, a panoramic viewpoint offering sweeping views of the valley and surrounding mountains. It's the perfect first stop to stretch your legs, take in the cool mountain air, and snap some photos before diving deeper into the region.

2. Strawberry Picking — Fresh from the Farm

One of the most unique and hands-on experiences in this tour is visiting a local strawberry farm where you can pick the fruit straight from the plants. The berries grow exceptionally well in Sembalun's cool climate and rich volcanic soil. It's a fun activity for all ages — especially families traveling with kids.

3. Bukit Selong — Lombok's Most Iconic Viewpoint

Bukit Selong is arguably the most photographed spot in East Lombok. From the top of this hill, you're treated to a breathtaking aerial view of bright green rice paddies arranged in natural patterns across the valley floor, framed by the towering silhouette of Rinjani. If you've seen the iconic Lombok highland photo online, this is where it was taken.

4. Bale Beleq — A Window Into Sasak Culture

No visit to Sembalun is complete without stepping into Bale Beleq, a preserved traditional Sasak house that offers a fascinating glimpse into the indigenous architecture and way of life of Lombok's native people. Your guide will walk you through the history and significance of the structure, making it as educational as it is memorable.

5. Bukit Malimbu — Close the Day with a Spectacular Sunset

On the way back, the tour makes a final stop at Bukit Malimbu, one of Lombok's most celebrated sunset viewpoints. Watch the sun dip below the Lombok Strait as the silhouette of Bali appears on the horizon. It's the kind of ending that makes you want to stay just a little longer.

Packing Tips for Your Sembalun Day Trip

  • Bring a light jacket or sweater. Sembalun is significantly cooler than coastal Lombok, especially in the morning. You'll appreciate the extra layer at Pusuk Sembalun and during the early part of the tour.
  • Wear comfortable footwear. You'll be walking on farm paths and hillside trails, so closed shoes or sturdy sandals are recommended over flip-flops.
  • Charge your camera. Every stop on this tour is incredibly photogenic. Make sure your phone or camera is fully charged before you leave.
  • Bring some cash. While lunch is included, you may want to shop for local produce, snacks, or souvenirs along the way.
