Mount Rinjani 3 day / 2 night Summit & Lake package follows a trail through the magnificent Gunung Rinjani National Park (a UNESCO validated Geopark), that culminates on the summit (12,224ft / 3726m). The route can run in two directions, starting in either Senaru or Sembalun. Unlike the 2 day / 1 night package, the trail descends into Mt Rinjani’s massive caldera, zig-zagging down to lake Segara Anak and the soothing thermal springs. This provides a fantastic scene and a unique experience. You can swim in the lake, marvel at the active volcano sitting across the water, and rejuvenate your body in the mineral rich hot springs. The Mount Rinjani 3 day / 2 night trek is the package we recommend most to avid hikers/alpinists, as it provides the most well-rounded experience of the National Park.
