We offer both Rinjani Crater Rim and Summit Treks which include a stop at Segara Anak Lake.

Crater Rim Trek – 2 Days, 1 Night

Our Crater Rim Trek provides spectacular views of the sacred lake, Segara Anak, which is located within the volcano’s crater. 

Watch the sunset over the 3 Gilis – Gili Trawangan, Gili Air & Gili Meno before disappearing behind Bali’s Mt. Agung. The next morning, marvel as the sun rises over the valley of Mt. Sanggkareyang, whilst smoke rises from the new volcano in the centre of the very lake we are trekking.

This trek is recommended for beginners and families with children (please note that children must be 7 years old or older to be eligible to trek). This trekking option starts and finishes in Senaru. 

Crater Rim Trek – 2 Days, 1 Night

The day before your trek, you will be picked up by private car (let us know where you need to be collected from) and transferred to your hotel in Senaru, where you will meet your trekking guide and porters who will brief you on the climb, helping you to prepare for your trip.

We have two different Budget Friendly options for Rinjani Trekking:

Stay 1 Night in Senaru before the Trek

This includes 1 overnight stay before the trek and the climb to Rinjani. This is a great option for those who have a little more time and want to start their trekking day a little later. Recommended for those who have a smaller budget.

Direct Trek

This does not include accommodation in a homestay before the trek, instead, you will be collected from Mataram at 5:00am or from Sengiggi at 5:20am (approx.). You will arrive in Sanaru to register and start the trekking at 7:30am.

Bangsal pick ups will be at 8:00am (approx.). You will arrive in Sanaru to register and start the trekking at 10:00am. This is a better option for those with limited time and budget in Lombok.

Day 1 – Rinjani Trekking Centre Senaru Village POS 1 – POS 2 – POS 3 – Senaru Crater Rim  

• Begin your day with breakfast at your accommodation, you will then be picked up by your guide who will take you to register at the Rinjani Trekking Centre POS 1 (601m). The trip will begin at 7:30am – 8:00am. For 1 hour you will walk the open plains of the landscape you’ll see lots of vegetation growing – local trees such as bamboo and coffee. We will have a short break of 10 – 15 minutes before continuing through tropical jungle terrain, shading you from the sun. Along the way you will see many giant trees, and hear the sounds of wildlife, keep your eyes peeled for black and brown coloured monkeys. You’ll walk through this dense rainforest for approx. 3 hours until you reach POS 2 (1,500m). Here we will take a break, and your guide and porter will prepare soft drinks, crackers and fresh fruit for you. 
• You’ll now need to make your way to POS 3 and this takes approx. 2 hours, along the way you will see strawberries growing. When you arrive at POS 3 (2,000m) your porter and guide will prepare your lunch and you will also get to eat fresh fruit, biscuits and take a long rest. Be careful of the naughty monkeys because sometimes they can steal your backpack if you’re not watching it. We will begin walking again for 25 minutes leaving the jungle to now walk on savanna type hill top terrain with open panoramic views. The trail gets quite steep here but there’s beautiful scenery to take your mind off it, you will be able to see Senaru village from a bird’s eye view perspective. Here we will take a short break before walking further until we reach Senaru Crater Rim (2,641m) which will take around 1 hour. Once we reach Senaru Crater Rim we will set up camp for the night and prepare dinner. 

Day 2 – Senaru Crater Rim – Senaru Village 

• After enjoying breakfast, the sunrise, and photo taking, we will make our way down to Senaru village. This walk will take 4-6 hours and will include a break and lunch stop on the way. We will arrive at Senaru Trekking Centre at around 12:30 – 13:00 pm where a shuttle bus will be waiting to bring you to your next destination (please let us know where this will be).
