Mount Rinjani 2D1N Trek via Tetebatu
The Mount Rinjani Crater Rim 2 Days 1 Night trekking package starts from Tetebatu Village on the southern side of Mount Rinjani, in East Lombok, Indonesia.
This private trekking experience follows the Tetebatu South Route through the Monkey Forest, dense mountain vegetation and open grassy landscapes toward the crater rim campsite.
The main destination is Sangkareang Summit, also described in the original itinerary as Mount Rinjani's second summit, approximately 3,200 metres above sea level.
From the crater rim and summit area, trekkers may enjoy views of Segara Anak Lake, Mount Baru Jari, the main Rinjani summit, Bali and the Gili Islands, depending on visibility.
The route begins at approximately 700 metres in Tetebatu Village. The original page places the Tetebatu Crater Rim area at around 2,550 metres, with a further ascent to Sangkareang Summit on Day 2.
Summit distinction: This package climbs Sangkareang Summit at approximately 3,200 m, not the main Mount Rinjani summit at 3,726 m. The itinerary includes views of Segara Anak Lake, but does not descend to the lake.
