Mount Rinjani is the second-highest volcano in Indonesia, rising to 3,726 meters above sea level, and stands as the most iconic trekking destination on Lombok Island. Dominating the landscape of West Nusa Tenggara, Rinjani is revered by local communities and admired by trekkers worldwide for its dramatic scenery and spiritual significance.

Geologically, Mount Rinjani features a massive volcanic complex with steep ridgelines, rugged lava fields, and the breathtaking Segara Anak crater lake nestled deep within the caldera. The volcano remains active, with Mount Barujari rising from the lake’s center, creating a powerful contrast between raw volcanic forces and serene natural beauty. This unique landscape makes Rinjani one of Southeast Asia’s most spectacular trekking environments.

The Mount Rinjani Trekking Adventure is a multi-day hiking experience that takes you through Mount Rinjani National Park, traversing tropical forests, open savannas, volcanic slopes, and high-altitude ridges. Highlights include panoramic views from the crater rim, camping above the clouds, and an optional summit ascent to Rinjani Peak (3,726 m), offering unforgettable sunrise views over Lombok, Bali, and Sumbawa.

Designed for adventurous travelers with good physical condition, this trek combines challenging ascents, long trekking days, and high-altitude camping, fully supported by experienced local guides, porters, and well-organized logistics. The journey is carefully paced to allow acclimatization, safety briefings, and rest, ensuring a rewarding and safe trekking experience.

Trekking Mount Rinjani offers an extraordinary blend of volcanic landscapes, cultural significance, and physical challenge, delivering a profound sense of achievement and an unforgettable adventure in one of Indonesia’s most dramatic mountain settings.
