This hiking route usually starts from Sembalun, but some also start from Senaru Village, depending on client demand and ticket availability during the high season. The Torean route also requires a minimum of three days, but many hikers choose the four-day, three-night trek for a more relaxed experience.
This route offers views of hills, verdant forests, hot springs, and, no less impressive, several waterfalls.
