2 Days 1 Night Hiking Crater Rim Senaru

The 2 Days 1 Night Crater Rim Senaru trek is the perfect option for travelers who want to experience the breathtaking beauty of Mount Rinjani without the extreme physical demands of a summit climb. Starting and ending in Senaru Village, this route takes you through dense, shaded tropical rainforests, offering a much cooler and more comfortable ascent compared to the exposed savannas of Sembalun. It is an ideal choice for beginners, families, and those with limited time.

Itinerary 2 days 1 night:

Pre-Trek (Day 0): Arrival and Briefing

Typically, comprehensive trek packages include a pre-trek day.

• Pick-up: You will be picked up from your location in Lombok (Airport, Senggigi, Kuta, Bangsal, or Mataram) and transferred to the trekking base (often Senaru).

• Preparation: Check into your pre-trek accommodation, meet your guide for a comprehensive safety briefing, review your packing list, and rest well for the early start.

Day 1: Senaru Village (804m) to Senaru Crater Rim (2,641m)

(Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Included)

Your adventure begins in the morning with registration at the Rinjani Trekking Center (Jebag Gawah Check Point).

• The Rainforest Ascent: The trek immediately immerses you in a dense tropical rainforest. The canopy provides excellent shade from the sun as you hike along natural dirt and root trails. You will pass through POS 1 and POS 2, taking short breaks to enjoy fresh mountain air, birdsong, and wild strawberry patches along the way.

• Lunch: You will stop at POS 3 (around 2,000m) for a freshly prepared hot lunch cooked by your porter team.

• The Crater Rim Camp: After lunch, the trail gradually leaves the dense forest behind, opening up as you make the final steep push to the crater rim. You will arrive at the Senaru Crater Rim (2,641m) in the late afternoon. Here, your camp will be set up, allowing you to relax and enjoy one of the most iconic sunsets in Indonesia—looking directly down into the volcanic caldera, the blue waters of Segara Anak Lake, and the smoking cone of Mount Baru Jari.

• Estimated Trekking Time: 6 to 8 hours

Day 2: Senaru Crater Rim (2,641m) to Senaru Village (804m)

(Breakfast and lunch included)

• Sunrise: Wake up early (around 6:00 AM) to witness a spectacular sunrise sweeping across the lake, the crater walls, and out towards the Gili Islands and Bali’s Mount Agung in the distance.

• The Descent: After enjoying breakfast with a view, you will pack up and begin the journey back down the mountain. The descent follows the same shaded rainforest trail, which is much easier on the legs in this direction.

• The Finish Line: You will stop for lunch again at POS 3 or POS 2 before completing the final leg. You can expect to arrive back at Senaru Village between 1:00 PM and 2:30 PM. A vehicle will be waiting to transfer you to your next destination in Lombok (e.g., Senggigi, Bangsal Harbor, or Mataram).
