The final day follows the Senaru rainforest trail downhill to Senaru Village, with rest and lunch stops along the way. Your arranged vehicle then transfers you to your next destination in Lombok.
The itinerary includes an arrival day with airport pickup, a hotel stay in Senaru and a trekking briefing before the five-day mountain program.
About this itinerary: The five-day trekking program includes Mount Rinjani Summit, Segara Anak Lake, natural hot springs, Senaru Crater Rim and the Senaru rainforest. Pre-trek accommodation is arranged separately from the four mountain camping nights.
