Trekking in Mount Rinjani is the most popular program for those of you who are on holiday in Lombok Island.

The simplest and the cheapest way to trek Mount Rinjani is by choosing the One Day Trek program. It suits most for those who are very tight in time and need cost efficiency but can still step your feet on Rinjani and catch its beauty.

You will find a stony and steep trail during your climb, but, it will be such a worthwhile experience after you reach the crater rim. You will enjoy the sunrise from next to the valley of Mt. Sanggka Reyang, and you will experience the smoke coming out the hole of a new volcano in the middle of Segara Anak Lake. You will also have great views of the Summit of Mt. Rinjani, at 3,726m.

Senaru Village – Crater Rim Senaru - Senaru Village

Duration: 09:06 h
Distance: 20 km
Ascent: 2030 m
Descent: 2030 m

You'll awaken at midnight and have a light breakfast at your hotel before we transport you to the starting point at 601m altitude. The nighttime journey to the crater rim is through tropical forest, necessitating the use of headlamps. Following your guide's steps, the walk to the rim takes about 4-5 hours, factoring in breaks. Initially, the trek offers open views and exposes trekkers to a variety of local plants such as coffee and bamboo, before leading into the jungle through the "JEBAG GAWAH" gate. Along the way, there are several stopping points named POS 1 through POS 4, each with its own unique elevation and offering brief rest periods.

Reaching the Senaru Crater Rim just before sunrise, you'll be treated to mesmerizing views of Lake Segara Anak, the active volcano, and distant landmarks like Mount Agung and the Gilis. As the sun casts its first light, your guide will prepare breakfast. Post this serene experience, you'll begin your descent to Senaru, which will take another 4-5 hours, with a light lunch served en route. Upon reaching Senaru village, transportation will be arranged to your subsequent destination.
