Mount Rinjani Segara Anak Lake 3 Days 2 Nights Trek
The Mount Rinjani Segara Anak Lake 3 Days 2 Nights trekking package is designed for travellers who want to visit the volcanic lake and hot springs without climbing to Mount Rinjani's main summit.
Starting from Senaru Village, the route enters the tropical rainforest and follows a series of trekking posts toward Senaru Crater Rim, approximately 2,641 metres above sea level.
The crater rim offers views toward Segara Anak Lake, the volcanic cone inside the caldera, the Gili Islands and Mount Agung in Bali when visibility is clear. You spend the first night camping at the rim.
On Day 2, the trekking guide leads the descent into the caldera toward Segara Anak Lake. The program includes time to visit the natural hot springs, relax beside the lake and enjoy the mountain scenery. The second night is spent camping near the lake.
The final day follows the return trail back to Senaru Crater Rim and down through the rainforest to Senaru Village. Your arranged vehicle then transfers you to your next destination in Lombok.
Lake trekking, not summit trekking: This package focuses on Segara Anak Lake, the hot springs and Senaru Crater Rim. It does not include an ascent to Mount Rinjani's 3,726-metre main summit.
