Access to Lake Segara Child
There are several paths known as the Lake Segara Anakan hiking trail and the summit of Rinjani. First, the Sembalun Route; This route is pretty much chosen by tourists and climbers. The Sembalun route is as follows: Mataram–Sembalun–Sembalun Lawang–Segara Child Lake.
The distance from Mataram to Sembalun is a 4-5 hour drive. You can rent a car to get directly to Sembalun. However, if you choose to take public transportation, you will have to change cars twice. From Mataram, take public transportation to Aikmel; the journey then continues from Aikmel to Sembalun with other public transportation. Instead, you go early if you use public transportation because the Aikmel–Sembalun transport only operates until 12 noon.
This route is dominated by savanna because this path is rather hot due to exposure to the hot sun in the open fields. Even so, this path still presents beautiful natural scenery and is not too steep when compared to the Senaru route.
Second, the Senaru Line: Mataram–Senaru–Lake Segara Child–Pelawangan Sembalun–Top of Rinjani.
From the Mandalika Terminal in Mataram, the trip to Senaru can be reached by public or rented transportation for 3-4 hours. From Senaru to Lake Segara Saplings can be reached on foot for 7-10 hours. If you want to get to the top of Rinjani, to reach the next point, namely Pelawangan Sembalun, the trip takes 4 hours. From there, the journey to the top can be reached for 2-3 hours on foot.
The Senaru route is one of the most chosen by visitors. This path is also a hiking trail that is also commonly taken by the people of Lombok when they want to hold religious and cultural ceremonies at Lake Segara Child.
Unlike the Sembalun Route, which is dominated by savanna, the Senaru Route is a path through the wilderness and passes through a path with rocks. But you don't need to worry, this rocky path is equipped with a safety rope for you to hold. In addition, there are three posts as a means of resting before arriving at the lake. If you want to reach the top of Mount Rinjani, the journey continues for 4-5 hours on foot.
Third, the Torean Route: Mataram–Torean–Segara Child Lake. Mataram to Torean is approximately a 4-5 hour drive. From Torean, the journey to Lake Segara Anak can be reached on foot for 8-9 hours.
