Anak Dara Hill 2 Days 1 Night
Overview of Anak Dara Hill
Anak Dara Hill is a popular hiking destination known for its challenging terrain, offering a rewarding experience for adventurous visitors. Standing at 1,923 meters above sea level, this hill is often called the “twin sibling” of Mount Rinjani due to its striking resemblance in both its natural beauty and the panoramic views it offers.
The hike to the summit is divided into two main sections. The first leg takes you through a forested area, gradually giving way to expansive views of the surrounding hills. The trail is quite steep, with an incline reaching nearly 45 degrees, and the path is rocky, making it a physically demanding climb. On average, it takes around 3 hours to reach the summit.
A standout feature of the trek is the “Love Climb,” located in the second section of the hike. This section offers some of the most scenic views, with the landscape unfolding as you make your way up. At the summit, hikers are rewarded with stunning views of Mount Rinjani and the surrounding Gilis, as well as the opportunity to witness breathtaking sunsets in the evening and sunrises in the morning.
