Take on one of Sembalun’s most rewarding challenges with the Gunung Anak Dara Hiking & Camping package by Adez Adventure.
Standing proudly at 1,921 meters above sea level, Gunung Anak Dara (Mount Anak Dara) is famous for having one of the most spectacularly steep ascents in the region—and arguably the most breathtaking 360-degree views. As part of the “Seven Summits of Sembalun,” this 2 Days 1 Night trek is perfect for thrill-seekers and fitness enthusiasts looking for a rigorous, pulse-pounding hike that rewards you with unbeatable sunset and sunrise vistas over the Sembalun Valley, Mount Rinjani, and the distant island of Sumbawa.
If you are looking for an intense, shorter trek or the ultimate warm-up climb before tackling Mount Rinjani, Gunung Anak Dara is the mountain for you.
