2 Days 1 Night

The Senaru Crater Rim 2 Days 1 Night itinerary is the most popular Mount Rinjani trekking route for travelers who want to experience the mountain's lush rainforest, high-altitude camping, and spectacular views without the strenuous climb to the summit.

Starting in the cool, shaded canopies of Senaru Village, you will ascend through dense tropical forests rich in flora and fauna. The highlight of the trek is reaching the Senaru Crater Rim (2,641m) in the late afternoon. Here, you will be rewarded with one of the most magnificent sunset views in Indonesia, overlooking the turquoise Segara Anak Crater Lake and the smoking Mount Baru Jari (baby volcano) nestled inside. Perfect for beginners and those with limited time.
