Indonesia's second-highest volcano.
Address: Mount Rinjani National Park, North Lombok
Mount Rinjani rises to 3,726 metres, making it the second-highest volcano in Indonesia. It is sacred to both the Sasak people and the Balinese, and is part of a UNESCO Global Geopark.
Inside its huge caldera lies Segara Anak, a crescent-shaped crater lake with a young volcanic cone, Gunung Barujari, rising from it. On the lower slopes near Senaru, the Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfalls make an easy half-day trip.
April to December, outside the rainy-season closure.
Summit attempts start around 2–3 am for sunrise.
The summit trek is tough; the crater rim is a more moderate goal.
Well-known hotels within easy reach. Check prices and availability for your dates.
Usually 2–4 days.
The crater-rim trek is possible with good fitness; the summit is hard.
Usually during the rainy season, about January to March.
