A brisk wind lifts you from a grassy shoulder above Sembalun and, for a breathless moment, the valley drops away. The pilot checks straps, the wing blooms above, and the world flattens into terraces, river cuts and the broad sweep of Mount Rinjani’s slopes. From the seat of a tandem glider, fields and volcano become readable lines on the landscape: lava and ash sculpted into the bowl of a caldera that still smells faintly of mineral heat.
