The steep ascent can be tiring, so we recommend wearing protective eyewear to shield from sand and dust, as well as a thick sweater, especially for beginners.

In the late afternoon, around 5:00 PM, you can enjoy the sunset over the lake, taking in the surrounding beauty. In the evening, we’ll gather around a campfire, stargaze, sing, and relax before having dinner. Overnight camping by the serene waters of Segara Anak Lake.
