Mount Rinjani - Day 3 Back to Sembalun Village

Selamat pagi.

Today is day-3 of our Mount Rinjani hike. So we would be going back to Sembalun Village from Pos 3!

After the summit hike the day before, we are all exhausted but recharged after a good sleep at Pos 3. Seem like we did a good choice of not going to Crater Senaru. Hehe.

After a good breakfast (we had pineapple pancake and sandwich today), we started our way to descend back to Sembalun Village :)

Waving goodbye to Pos 3.

From Pos 3 (1800m) back to Sembalun Village (1156m). After the summit hike, everyone was in more relax mood, and excited since finally we get to bath LOL. This is one of the challenge of Mount Rinjani hiking since we cannot bath throughout the 3 days hike T.T

Playing around with the baskets carried by our porter. It is not an easy job at all, heavy and would be very difficult due to the not so good road condition.

View from some where around Pos 2.

We Spent around 4 hrs from Pos 3 to Sembalun Village. After that, we back to the hotel that we stayed before the hike, Sembalun Agro Villa & Restaurant to bath. Felt so so so good to bath and clear all volcano dust on our body. Our body, hair, bag, shoes, clothes...are all with the fine black dust that we brought back from the volcano LOL.

After some rest and lunch, we departed to Gili Air :) Finally a relaxing island holiday as reward after a long hike :P

P/s: Gado-gado served at Sembalun Agro Villa & Restaurant is good! But abit too spicy for us  >.<
