Overview

The full Rinjani crossing starting from the rainforest side. You climb from Senaru to the Senaru crater rim, descend to Segara Anak Lake and the hot springs, climb out to the Sembalun crater rim, and finish with the summit at sunrise before walking down through the Sembalun savanna. Because the summit comes on the last day, your legs are already used to the mountain when you make the final push.

  • Rainforest on day one, open savanna on the way down — the whole mountain in three days
  • Afternoon at Segara Anak Lake and a soak in the natural hot springs
  • Sunrise from the summit of Mount Rinjani (3,726 m)
  • Camps on both the Senaru and Sembalun crater rims
