Mt. Rinjani is one of the largest mountains in Indonesia.

On a clear day you can see break taking views from the summit. There is a crater lake, Segara Anak and a natural hot springs there. The trek usually takes about three days and it is advised to go with an experienced guide. Check out Rinjani Trekking Program (Summit or Lake), and Soft Trekking for those non-trekker.

The summit of Mt. Rinjani is reached by relatively few trekkers; the majority are satisfied with a shorter, less arduous trip to the crater rim – from where you can see the turquoise crater-lake, Danau Segara Anak (Child of the Sea), and the perfect cone of Gunung Baru (New Mountain) rising from it.

Trekking on Rinjani is not for the frail or unfit and shouldn’t be attempted without adequate food and water. Although not all the treks need a porter or guide, you should definitely let somebody know where you’re going and when you’ll be back; you should report to the Rinjani Trek Centers at either Senaru or Sembalun Lawang when you set off.
