Sembalun is more than just a gateway to Rinjani; it is a high-altitude playground of ancient volcanic ridges and sharp vertical climbs. These five treks—known to locals as the “Dragon’s Backbone”—offer a raw, high-octane alternative to the main summit trails. Here, the air is thinner, the slopes are steeper, and the views of the lush
