TOURISM IN THE AREA
PERGASINGAN HILL
Pergasingan Hill or “ Bukit Pergasingan ” as it ’ s known in Lombok , is a celebrated vantage point overlooking Sembalun village . Sembalun lies in a flat-bottomed basin , bordered by steep hills and mountains . What makes Sembalun even more picturesque is the colourful fields that divide the valley-floor like an elaborate tapestry . Pergasingan has become a much sought-after destination by travel bloggers and Instagram stars due to its natural beauty and unique landscape .
It follows an established trail which is steep at first , becoming easier once you reach the ridgeline . On average it takes between 1.5 to 2 hours to climb the hill , depending on fitness levels and how many rest-breaks you take . When you reach the top you will have time to relax and admire the view . Your guide will have a picnic lunch for you , as well as refreshments . After you have spent some time on the peak you will walk back down via the same route , and travel back to Senaru ( and onto your final destination ).
