Rinjani National Park opens 1st of April 2023! Experience the ultimate trekking adventure.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Mount Rinjani is an active volcano, the second largest in Indonesia. The top of Mount Rinjani is the goal of most adventurers. Around the slopes of Rinjani, there are lush forests sprinkled with waterfalls and surrounded by stunning scenery.

Within the mountain is a crescent-shaped lake, the breathtaking Segara Anak which is about 6km across at its widest point. This lake of sulfur is located 600 meters below the crater rim. Rising from the waters of this lake is a new volcano, Mt. Baru, which is a result of a series of eruptions during the 1990s.

Segara Anak is a spiritual place. The Balinese come here each year and perform a ceremony called ‘Pekelan’ where jewelry is placed in the lake as an offering to the mountain spirit. The Wetu Telu people also regard the lake as holy and come here to pray on full moon nights. Segara Anak Lake is located at an altitude of 2,010 meters above sea level and has a shape similar to a crescent moon when seen from the sky. In the area around the lake Segara Anak, there is enough land and flat, so it can be used as an appropriate location to set up a tent, camping, fishing, and the climbers can relax their bodies by soaking in hot spring water containing sulfur.

THE RINJANI CHALLENGE

The Rinjani trek is a challenging mountain walk and you must be prepared with good equipment, warm and windproof clothing. Rinjani can attract severe storms, lightning, and strong winds. When the weather is settled, the sun is intense and the nights frosty. Parts of the trail are steep and slippery.

VOLCANIC HAZARDS

Although Mt. Rinjani has not erupted in recorded history, Mt.Baru (2,351m) in the crater lake is an active volcano. It last erupted dramatically in 1994. Check the notice boards for recent hazards, and take advice from park staff and guides.

SPRING WATER

Freshwater springs are a feature of the trek and determine campsites. Your guide knows where these are. During the drier months (July – September) some springs completely disappear. Park staff and guides constantly monitor these water sources to determine their abundance.
