Introduction: Why Trek Mount Rinjani?
Mount Rinjani isn't just a trek—it's a rite of passage for every adventurous soul visiting Indonesia. Rising 3,726 meters above sea level, it’s the second-highest volcano in the country, sitting proudly on the beautiful island of Lombok. From summit sunrises and volcanic crater rims to serene hot springs and the sacred Segara Anak Lake, the Rinjani trekking experience promises unforgettable moments. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or a first-timer, this guide will help you prepare, choose the best route, and make the most out of your Rinjani trekking adventure.

What to Expect on the Trail
🏞 Crater Rim Views
From both Senaru and Sembalun, you’ll camp on the edge of Rinjani’s massive crater, staring down at Segara Anak Lake—a deep blue caldera that feels otherworldly.
🌊 Segara Anak Lake & Hot Springs
The lake is a sacred spot for locals. Nearby, natural hot springs offer a welcome soak to soothe your sore legs after a long descent.
🌅 Summit Sunrise
Climbing Rinjani's summit in the dark is a test of grit—but reaching the top at sunrise is nothing short of spiritual. Expect views of Mount Agung in Bali and even the outline of Sumbawa on a clear day.
Best Time to Trek Mount Rinjani
The dry season from April to December is the best time to trek Mount Rinjani. Avoid the rainy season (January–March) when the national park is closed due to safety concerns. For crystal-clear skies and milder temperatures, May to August is ideal.
How to Prepare for Rinjani Trekking
