Welcome to Bukit Selong, a place where nature, agriculture, and local heritage blend into one breathtaking landscape.
Perched beautifully in the highlands of Sembalun Lawang, East Lombok, Bukit Selong (Selong Hill) offers what many consider to be the most iconic panorama in all of Nusa Tenggara Barat. But the magic of this hill goes far beyond its famous photo spots. It is a window into the daily life, resilience, and rich culture of the Sembalun valley.
Look down from the wooden viewing decks of Bukit Selong, and you will see a mesmerizing tapestry of green, yellow, and brown rectangular plots. These are the famous patchwork fields of Sembalun.
These fields are not just a beautiful backdrop; they are the lifeblood of our local community. Resting in an ancient volcanic caldera at the foot of Mount Rinjani, the soil here is incredibly fertile. For generations, the local Sasak people have cultivated this land, growing strawberries, garlic, potatoes, and rice. The unique geometric grid you see from the top of Bukit Selong is a living testament to the harmony between the farmers of Sembalun and the volcanic earth they call home.
Bukit Selong provides a safe, accessible, and awe-inspiring experience for travelers of all ages. We take pride in offering:
A Gentle Journey: A short, peaceful walk through a serene bamboo forest that leads you straight to the peak.
Unrivaled Panoramas: Perfectly positioned viewing platforms, including our iconic star-shaped deck, designed to give you an unobstructed 360-degree view of Mount Rinjani, Pergasingan Hill, and the valley floor.
A Photographer’s Dream: The ultimate location for sunrise seekers, landscape photographers, and drone enthusiasts.
Bukit Selong is managed and maintained by the local community of Sembalun Lawang. When you visit our hill, pay the entrance fee, or buy a cup of local Sasak coffee from the warungs at the base, you are directly supporting the local economy.
We are deeply committed to:
Preserving Nature: Keeping the trails clean, minimizing plastic waste, and protecting the surrounding bamboo forests.
Empowering Locals: Ensuring that tourism revenue benefits the farmers, guides, and families who live in the valley.
Sharing Our Culture: Welcoming visitors from around the world with the warmth and hospitality that Lombok is famous for.
Whether you are an avid trekker looking to acclimatize before tackling Mount Rinjani, a family seeking a beautiful morning out, or a solo traveler chasing the perfect sunrise, there is a place for you on our hill.
Breathe in the crisp mountain air, watch the morning mist roll over the farms, and let the beauty of Lombok inspire you.
We look forward to welcoming you to the top.
