Itinerary 2 Days – 1 Night Senaru Crater Rim Trail

       Day 01:

• Our driver will pick up you from the hotel lobby between 4:00-4:30 AM, depending on your hotel’s location, and take you straight to Senaru village.
• Upon arrival, you’ll check in at our office, enjoy breakfast, and receive a briefing from the trekking guide and crew.
• Then, you’ll be transported to the entrance of Rinjani National Park, located about a kilometer from the village
• Registration at the RTC (Rinjani Trekking Centre Senaru, 601m)
• The initial part of the trek involves a steep ascent through dense tropical forests abundant in plant life, birds, and various butterflies. You may even catch a glimpse of rare flora and fauna such as orchids and the elusive black ebony leaf monkey.
• Rest breaks will be taken intermittently, with lunch usually served at Post II, subject to your readiness and prevailing weather conditions.
• For the overnight stay, you’ll camp either amidst the forest at Post 3 Mondokon Lolak (2,000m) after approximately five hours of climbing from Senaru or continue upwards for a few more hours to reach the grassy meadows of Senaru crater rim at 2,641m.
• From the crater rim, you’ll enjoy panoramic vistas spanning from Lake Segara Anak (2,000 m) to the peak of Mt. Rinjani. Inside the crater, the active volcano Mt. Baru Jari (2,351m) presents a dramatic sight, having erupted last in 1994 with subsequent minor eruptions in 2004, 2015, and 2016. Clear evenings afford views of the Gili Islands, Bali, and Mt. Agung to the west.
• The crew will handle the setup of essential camping equipment (tent, sleeping bag, mattress, pillow, and toilet tent) and dinner preparations.

        Day 02:

• Following breakfast, the descent to Senaru village (601 m) begins.
• Rest stops will be scheduled along the descent route, with lunch typically arranged at Post 1 Extra under normal circumstances.
