After breakfast at the guesthouse, we begin our trek to basecamp III or also called Plawangan Sembalun. We will walk through beautiful savannah of Rinjani and will set the campsite at the crater rim of Plawangan Sembalun.  From this campsite, the panoramic views of the crater lake of Segare Anak and Sembalun are spectacular.  When the weather is good the sunset view will be breathtaking. We will rest early after dinner as we have a very early start tomorrow.

After some rest and taking pictures we return to our campsite for a late breakfast, then continue to the formation of the ‘new volcano” mount of Segara Anak lake (2.010 m asl).
