When you arrive in Lombok, whether by plane or boat, our staff will pick you up and transfer you to the hotel in Senaru. Once in Senaru, you will meet our staff for registration and a short briefing with your guide. If you arrive early, you can visit the nearby Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep Waterfalls. We recommend arriving a day before the trek begins to avoid any delays.

Day 1: Trekking Through the Forest

Our guide will pick you up from your hotel lobby at 6:30 AM and transfer you to the Rinjani Information Center (RIC), where we will register and obtain National Park entry tickets. The trek will take us through tropical forests filled with rich flora, birdlife, and a variety of butterflies. You might spot orchids or, if lucky, the rare black ebony leaf monkey, known locally as lutung. We will take rest stops along the way, including at Montong Satas Shelter (1,500 meters).

Your guide will share local legends and stories of the surrounding village. Features along the trail include the large Bunut Nenkang tree, which has a unique shape.

Evening at the Crater Rim

At Senaru Crater Rim Camp, enjoy sweeping views across Lake Segara Anak (2,000 meters) to the summit of Mount Rinjani. Within the crater, Mount Baru (2,351 meters), an active volcano, last erupted dramatically in 2009. On clear evenings, you can also enjoy spectacular sunrises and sunsets, as well as views of the Gili Islands and Bali.

Day 2: Descent

From 6:30 AM to 8:00 AM, have breakfast and relax while enjoying the views. Afterward, we will descend the trail back to Senaru Village, starting with open grasslands and returning to the shaded tropical forest.
