Mount Rinjani map offers a comprehensive guide to official hiking trails, important posts, and resource locations, helping hikers explore Mount Rinjani safely and in a planned manner.
The official Mount Rinjani map, available in PDF format, includes the main hiking trails on Rinjani: the Sembalun trail (East Lombok), the Senaru trail (North Lombok), the Aik Berik trail (Central Lombok), and the Timbanuh trail (East Lombok). This map details trailheads, rest/camping posts, water sources, and official routes that are safe to use. The contours and elevations of the trails are also clearly visible, helping to estimate the distance and terrain to be encountered.
The Sembalun trail is relatively long with flat terrain and passes through hot savannah, suitable for those seeking a more leisurely but longer trek. The Senaru trail is shorter, but offers steep, continuous climbs and a cooler atmosphere, thanks to its dense tropical forest.
The climb generally takes between 2 and 4 days, depending on the Mount Rinjani package and the destination, whether it’s just the caldera, Segara Anak Lake, or the summit of Mount Rinjani (3,726 meters above sea level).
The map also shows the locations of attractions such as Segara Anak Lake, Goa Susu, and the Aik Kalak hot springs.
Camping stations are located at several points, such as Plawangan Senaru and Sembalun, with natural rest areas and water sources identified by our guides.
