About Us - Trekking Mount Rinjani
About trekking Mount Rinjani
Let us introduce you to Amak, a term from the
Sasak language meaning "Sir," "Mr.," or "Father." He serves as
the coordinator for our team based in Sembalun Lawang, right at the foot
of Mount Rinjani. Amak has carefully organized the porters and guides
necessary for your trek, ensuring that all essential supplies—such as
food, tents, sleeping bags, and mattresses—are ready for your adventure.
This trek not only offers a fantastic way to get some exercise but also
presents the thrilling challenge of climbing the mountain. It's
important to prepare yourself both physically and mentally for a
successful hike.
Trekking Mount Rinjani is a captivating experience that features a
diverse landscape, ranging from expansive savannas to steep rocky paths,
slippery sandy inclines, and vibrant rainforests. The journey is both
beautiful and challenging. Hikers typically choose between two main
routes: the Sembalun and Senaru trails. We recommend starting your trek
from Sembalun and returning via the Senaru or Torean gates. This route
offers a more gradual climb with stunning views, although it is longer
and can be quite warm. By beginning in Sembalun, you can reach the
summit before descending to the lake, ensuring you are well-prepared. On
the other hand, the Senaru route is cooler as it winds through lush
rainforests, but it presents more challenges. While it's possible to
visit the lake first, summiting requires significant stamina, especially
after tackling the tough terrain around Segara Anak Lake.
Our team is dedicated to assisting you in overcoming the challenges of
climbing Mount Rinjani, particularly at its peak height of 3,726 meters.
The sandy ground can make footing tricky, and the ascent to the summit
is demanding, with loose sand often causing slips. The last stretch,
just 200 meters from the top, can be particularly tough, as the mix of
gravel and sand along the trail can slow your progress.

particularly cattle. While the hiking trail from Torean is not as
well-known as the routes from Senaru and Sembalun, it serves as an
important access point to the Mount Rinjani National Park. Many visitors
choose this path not only for hiking but also to enjoy the natural hot
springs located at various spots along the way. Additionally, those
interested in fishing at Lake Segara Anak often pass through Torean.
The Torean trail offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape,
framed by the majestic Mount Rinjani and the Sangkareang Ridge. Hikers
can enjoy sights of lush forests, steep cliffs, deep valleys, flowing
rivers, and stunning waterfalls, as well as natural hot springs, some of
which are found in caves. As you make your way from Torean to the
National Park, you will encounter grazing fields and pastures, with
about 20-45% of the slopes within the village limits designated as part
of the national park. The trail stretches approximately 5 kilometers

Routine closure of Mount Rinjani National Park
The regular closure of hiking paths in Mount Rinjani
National Park serves as an essential management approach focused on
ecosystem restoration and nature conservation. This strategy also plays
a crucial role in reducing risks linked to drought, cold temperatures,
and the rainy season, which can create hazards for climbers, including
fire risks and high winds. There are two types of closures: routine and
incidental, with the latter implemented as necessary. The park staff
officially announces closures, which are communicated at both the park
entrance and the National Park office. Generally, the hiking trails are
closed each year during the rainy season, from early January until the
end of March. In addition to rain and potential strong winds, other
environmental challenges may emerge, making these closures vital for
conservation efforts. The park typically reopens in early April,
adhering to this annual schedule.
It can be quite unsettling. If you're a backpacker venturing
alone or with a group without guidance from an agent or our service, and
you head straight to the starting point for climbing Mount Rinjani in
Sembalun Lawang or Senaru village, you may encounter individuals who are
unfamiliar with proper etiquette in these areas. This lack of awareness
can lead to disruptive behavior from those nearby, creating confusion
and potentially putting you in unexpected danger.
The Legend Of Mount Rinjani
Mount Rinjani, standing at 3,726 meters, is the third tallest mountain in Indonesia and is steeped in the enchanting legend of Queen Anjani. Local communities believe that Queen Anjani reigns over Mount Rinjani, having emerged from a union with a unique Sasak Lombok figure. Her beauty is said to be timeless, and she is revered as the liberator of the king's descendants. To honor this goddess, locals frequently conduct religious ceremonies on Mount Rinjani and at Lake Segara Anak, which often include the symbolic release of small fish crafted from thin gold into the lake.
Some of the tourism sites of interest to visit in the mountain Rinjani namely
There are several captivating tourist attractions to explore in the Rinjani mountain region. The peak of Mount Rinjani, standing at 3,726 meters, offers opportunities for mountain climbing, camping, and soaking in the breathtaking natural scenery of Lombok. Lake Segara Anak, along with Sebau and Mount Jari Baru, provides a perfect setting for research and enjoying unique natural phenomena, including hot springs for bathing and opportunities to observe forest wildlife. The Segara Anak Lake also serves as a cultural site during Maulud, where the Pakelem ceremony (a ritual bath for the keris) takes place. Nearby, the villages of Otakkokoq and Kembang Kuning feature sulfur-scented hot springs known for their skin benefits, as well as beautiful waterfalls. Additionally, cultural events such as Topat War in December and Ciwaratri in January in Mataram offer a glimpse into local traditions outside the national parks. The ideal time to visit this stunning area is from June to December each year.
