Mount Rinjani 4-Day Senaru Trek — Summit, Lake & Hot Spring Through the Rainforest

Go2Rinjani's most complete Senaru package — the 4-day Senaru summit lake trek combines everything Mount Rinjani National Park has to offer: dense tropical rainforest, Pelawangan Senaru crater rim, the summit at 3,726 m, sacred Segara Anak lake, and volcanic hot springs. The ultimate Rinjani experience via Senaru's legendary western trail.

The Ultimate Senaru Rinjani Trek — Summit, Lake & Rainforest in Four Days

The 4-day Senaru summit lake trek is the most complete Mount Rinjani experience available via the western Senaru route. Starting from the ancient Sasak village of Senaru, the trail climbs through dense tropical rainforest to Pelawangan Senaru crater rim (2,641 m) before pushing to the summit of Mount Rinjani at 3,726 m. The extra days allow for a relaxed summit push, extended time beside Segara Anak lake at 2,008 m, a soak in the volcanic hot springs, and deep immersion in the natural and cultural landscapes of Rinjani National Park. Go2Rinjani's certified local guides lead every step of the journey.

What to Expect on This Trek

Senaru Rainforest Trail

The 4-day Senaru trek begins in the most biodiverse section of Mount Rinjani National Park — the dense tropical rainforest of the western Senaru route, rich with native flora, endemic birds, and the sounds of untouched mountain wilderness unique to this trail.

Campsite at Pelawangan Senaru crater rim at 2,641m above sea level

Pelawangan Senaru Crater Rim at 2,641 m

Reach Pelawangan Senaru — the Senaru crater rim at 2,641 m — base camp for the summit push, with panoramic views over Segara Anak lake below and Mount Rinjani's summit rising to 3,726 m directly across the volcanic caldera.

Mount Rinjani Summit at 3,726 m

The summit push via the Senaru route — a pre-dawn climb from Pelawangan Senaru to the summit of Mount Rinjani at 3,726 m, Lombok's highest peak and Indonesia's second-highest volcano, arriving for sunrise above the clouds with views across Lombok, Bali, and Sumbawa.

Segara Anak Lake at 2,008 m

Descend into Mount Rinjani's sacred volcanic crater and camp beside Segara Anak lake at 2,008 m — a turquoise crater lake revered in both Sasak and Balinese tradition. The extra day of this package means genuine time to experience the lake, not just pass through it.
