Home » Senaru  »  2 Days, 1 Night Hiking Rinjani to the Crater Rim Senaru
Embark on a memorable 2-day, 1-night adventure to the breathtaking Senaru Crater Rim, the most popular viewpoint on Mount Rinjani. Perfect for those seeking a rewarding challenge without the demands of a full summit climb, this trek showcases Rinjani’s lush forests, diverse wildlife, and stunning volcanic landscapes. Your journey begins in the traditional village of Senaru, nestled at the foot of the mountain. The trail leads you through dense tropical rainforest, alive with the sounds of birds and monkeys, and shaded by towering trees and ferns. Along the way, enjoy rest stops at forest shelters, where your trekking team will prepare a delicious lunch. As you ascend, the forest gradually gives way to open meadows and savannah, revealing sweeping vistas of Lombok’s northern valleys. By late afternoon, you’ll arrive at the Senaru Crater Rim (2,641 m), your campsite for the night. Here, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the turquoise Segara Anak Lake, the dramatic Rinjani summit, and the vast caldera below. Watch the sun set behind the peaks and enjoy a hearty dinner under the stars. Wake early on the second day to witness a spectacular sunrise over the crater and lake, then savor breakfast at camp before beginning your descent. The return trek takes you back through the tranquil forest to Senaru Village, where your adventure concludes. This short yet unforgettable trek is ideal for nature lovers and adventurers who want to experience the beauty of Rinjani’s highlands, rich biodiversity, and iconic crater rim views—all in just two days.
