Who says you can't get incredible content while hiking? Rinjani is one of the most visually spectacular mountains in Southeast Asia. If you want your TikTok videos or Instagram Reels to hit the FYP, here are the 5 most aesthetic spots you must record:
1. Sembalun Savanna
The savanna trail in Sembalun offers an incredibly epic expanse of golden grass, especially during the golden hour. The vibes are out of this world. Wear a bright-colored jacket (red or yellow) to contrast beautifully against the golden background!
2. Sembalun Crater Rim (Plawangan Sembalun)
This is the campsite before the summit push. From here, you can see Segara Anak Lake from above. Shoot a timelapse video during sunset or capture the transition as clouds roll in over the lake. It's breathtaking!
3. Mount Rinjani Summit (3,726 MASL)
Of course, the summit sign is the ultimate proof of your struggle. Take a 360-degree video at the top. The blue sky, the sea of clouds below you, and the smoking Mount Barujari crater will give your followers goosebumps.
4. Segara Anak Lake
The turquoise water of the lake surrounded by steep cliffs is the perfect backdrop for cinematic videos. Don't forget to get footage of yourself relaxing and sipping coffee by the lake.
5. Natural Hot Springs (Aik Kalak)
After a tiring hike, soaking in the natural hot springs near the lake is heaven. The steam rising from the hot water against a backdrop of lush trees makes for a very exotic and relaxing video.
