About This Destination
Mount Rinjani (3,726m) is Indonesia's second-highest volcano and one of the most iconic trekking destinations in Southeast Asia. Located on Lombok Island, the mountain offers extraordinary landscapes — from savannas and tropical forests to the blue-green Segara Anak Lake at 2,000 meters. In the center of Segara Anak Lake stands Mount Baru Jari, an active volcanic cone that forms the signature view from the crater rim. Rinjani trekking typically takes 2–4 days, with two main routes: Sembalun (East) which is gentler, and Senaru (North) which is steeper but more shaded. Climbing Rinjani is not for beginners — good physical preparation, a licensed guide, and complete camping gear are required. But all the effort is rewarded at the summit at sunrise, with a panorama stretching from Bali to Sumbawa.
