Mount Rinjani Crater Rim Senaru 2 Days 1 Night Trek
The Mount Rinjani Crater Rim Senaru 2 Days 1 Night package is a short trekking route that combines the northern crater rim with a sunrise climb to Sangkareang Second Summit.
The adventure begins in Senaru Village, on the northern side of Mount Rinjani. The first day follows the forest trail through Montong Satas and Mondokan Lolak toward Senaru Crater Rim, approximately 2,641 metres above sea level.
The second morning begins with an early ascent to Sangkareang Summit, listed at approximately 3,126 metres in the original itinerary. After sunrise, return to the campsite for breakfast before descending to Senaru Village.
This package provides an alternative for travellers who want to see Mount Rinjani's crater scenery and reach the second summit within a two-day trekking schedule.
Summit information: This route visits Sangkareang Second Summit, not Mount Rinjani's main 3,726-metre summit. It also does not include a descent to Segara Anak Lake.
From Senaru Village to Sangkareang Summit
The route follows the northern rainforest trail to Senaru Crater Rim before the early morning ascent to Sangkareang Second Summit.
