Mt. Rinjani Hammock hiking
HIKING
Embark on an unforgettable adventure on Mount Rinjani, one of Indonesia's highest and most breathtaking peaks, with an overnight stay in hammocks.
The tour begins with an early morning departure from Senaru by 4WD vehicle to Sembalun, where we register at the Rinjani Trek Centre (1,156 m) before starting our trek. The trail winds through undulating open grasslands, and we take breaks at Pos 1 and Pos 2 for rest and snacks. At Pos 3 (1,800 m), we stop for a longer lunch break before continuing our steep climb up the crater rim. We camp for the night at Sembalun Crater Rim (2,639 m), with stunning views of the sunset, Lake Segara Anak, and the summit of Mount Rinjani.
The next day, we wake up early for a light breakfast before embarking on the challenging three-hour trek to the summit (3,726 m), arriving in time for sunrise and breathtaking views. After returning to our campsite on the crater rim, we rest and have a hot breakfast before beginning our descent into the crater. We stop for lunch on the shore of Lake Segara Anak (2,000 m) and set up camp, where we can enjoy swimming in the hot springs, fishing, exploring the lakeshore, or simply relaxing.
On the third day, we continue our trek around the shore of Lake Segara Anak before beginning our climb out of the crater through dense forest on a steep and rocky trail. At the Senaru Crater Rim (2,641 m), we pause for lunch and a rest. The rim offers stunning views across the lake back toward the summit, as well as a good vantage point of Gunung Baru, the small volcanic cone within the crater of Mount Rinjani. We can camp here for the night or continue down the mountain and spend the night at a more sheltered campsite in the forest if the wind is cold and we still feel energetic.
