Day 03

Summit Climb, Segara Anak Lake, and Senaru Crater Rim

  • Wake up at 2:30 a.m. and have a light breakfast, then leave at 3:00 a.m.
  • Start the trek to the Rinjani summit (3,726 m). Walking time is approximately 3 hours and 20 minutes. The first stage is a moderate climb for 120 minutes, while the second stage is a fairly easy but long trek. The last hour is very steep and difficult. There are many loose stones, and as you take two steps forward, you may slip one step back. From the summit, you can see all of Lombok island, Bali, Sumbawa, and Segara Anak Lake.
  • Descend to the Sembalun crater rim after sunrise and enjoy a hot breakfast and a break.
  • After enough rest, continue down to Segara Anak Lake and the hot spring. This trail is very steep and slippery, so be extra careful. It takes about 3 hours to reach the lake and hot spring. Lunch will be provided by the lake, and the hot spring is just a 100 m walk away, where you can soak and enjoy its skin-healing qualities.
  • Rest after lunch, then continue up to the Senaru crater rim. This route takes about 3 hours and is steep, stony, and demanding, so care is needed. You will reach a place we call the second nicest view after the summit, where you can enjoy the incredible sunset over Mount Agung in Bali and see smoke coming from the hole of the new volcano by the lake.

Camping and dinner here.
