Gunung Anak Dara - Medium Trekking Lombok
Gunung Anak Dara, one of the most intriguing medium trekking destinations, rises to 1999 meters above sea level, making it the 3rd Sembalun7Summit. It is located on the foothills of Mount Rinjani, in Sembalun Village, East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. Based on extensive research by international scientists and collaborations with Rinjani Geo-Park Lombok, it has been determined that Gunung Anak Dara is the wall caldera of an ancient Sembalun volcano, which erupted approximately 550.000 years ago and is situated around the village of Sembalun. Kids, families, or even beginners seeking a more gentle trekking experience can opt for this medium trekking destination, which serves as a viable alternative to the strenuous trekking on Mount Rinjani, situated 3726 meters above sea level.
The Story of Gunung Anak Dara
The names of Gunung Anak Dara come from the story of the young daughter of the prince of Rinjani who lives alone on the mountain, following the local history of Sembalun, Gunung (the mountain), Anak (the kids), and Dara (the young daughter).
