Bukit Selong, situated in the scenic village of Sembalunlawang in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the traditional Sasak houses and patchworked fields nestled below Mount Rinjani. The site is accessible via a short hike, making it suitable for solo travelers and can be visited without the need for a guided tour. However, joining a local tour can enhance your experience by providing insights into the culture and history of the area. It is best visited in the dry season, between April and October, to avoid the heavy rains that can obscure views and make trails slippery. The cost is minimal, usually just a small entrance fee, and visitors typically spend about 2-3 hours enjoying the views and taking photos. To capture the best light for photographs, aim to visit at sunrise or early morning.
