Overview
Want to experience the beauty of Mount Rinjani without having to climb the summit on the first day? This trekking route begins from Senaru Village, allowing you to gradually acclimatize as you hike through lush jungle to reach the Senaru Crater Rim for your first night of camping. From this point, you can enjoy stunning views of Segara Anak Lake, Mount Baru Jari, and even parts of Bali and the Gili Islands.
On day two, you’ll descend to Segara Anak Lake and the hot springs, where you can relax, swim, and camp overnight with a backdrop of towering cliffs.
On day three, the most challenging part of the trek begins: you will ascend to the summit of Mount Rinjani (3,726m) via the Sembalun route to catch a breathtaking sunrise. After enjoying the spectacular view, you will descend through vast savannahs and finish your journey in Sembalun Village.
This adventure is perfect for nature lovers, families, or couples who want a gradual yet complete Rinjani trekking experience.
