Sitting at 2,000 metres inside Mount Rinjani's massive caldera, Segara Anak is a sacred turquoise lake revered by Balinese Hindus and Sasak Muslims alike, who make pilgrimages to its shores during religious festivals. The lake is fed by hot springs and surrounded by the dramatic walls of the volcanic crater.
