A Journey Above the Clouds


Mount Rinjani, standing at 3,726 meters, is Indonesia's second-highest volcano, located on Lombok Island. It's renowned for its challenging treks, breathtaking landscapes, and the stunning Segara Anak crater lake nestled within its expansive caldera.

Experience

Trekking Mount Rinjani is a demanding endeavor that rewards hikers with unparalleled vistas. The journey typically spans 2 to 4 days, depending on the chosen route and itinerary. Trekkers traverse diverse terrains, from lush tropical forests at the base to alpine meadows and rugged volcanic landscapes as they ascend. 


A highlight of the trek is reaching the crater rim, where panoramic views of the turquoise Segara Anak lake and the new volcanic cone, Gunung Barujari, await. Many hikers aim to summit at sunrise, witnessing the first light illuminating the island and neighboring peaks—a truly unforgettable sight. Despite the physical challenges, many describe the experience as exhilarating and transformative
