A Guide to the Mount Rinjani Trekking Map
Navigating the trails of Mount Rinjani requires a good understanding of the routes and key landmarks. A trekking map reveals two primary paths to the crater: the Sembalun route from the east and the Senaru route from the north. Each offers a distinct journey to the heart of the volcano.
The Sembalun Route (The Summit Trail)
This is the most popular route for those who aim to reach the highest point of Mount Rinjani.
Starting Point: The journey begins at the Rinjani Information Center in Sembalun Village (approx. 1,150m).
Key Landmarks on the Map:
POS 1, POS 2, and POS 3: The trail winds through a wide, open savanna, passing through a series of rest shelters (Posts).
Plawangan Sembalun (Sembalun Crater Rim): After a steep final ascent, you reach the crater rim campsite at 2,639m. This is your base for the summit attempt and offers incredible views.
The Summit (Puncak): From the campsite, a challenging 3-4 hour pre-dawn climb on loose volcanic scree takes you to the summit at 3,726m, where you’re rewarded with a spectacular sunrise.
Segara Anak Lake: After the summit, the trail on the map shows a steep descent from the crater rim down to the beautiful crater lake and its natural hot springs.
The Senaru Route (The Scenic Rainforest Trail)
This route is perfect for those who want a scenic trek through the jungle to the crater rim, without the demanding summit climb.
Starting Point: Trekkers start their ascent from the Rinjani Trek Centre in Senaru Village (approx. 600m).
Key Landmarks on the Map:
POS 1, POS 2, and POS 3: The trail climbs steadily through a dense, tropical rainforest, providing shade and opportunities to see wildlife.
Plawangan Senaru (Senaru Crater Rim): You’ll arrive at the Senaru Crater Rim campsite at 2,641m. The view from here is arguably one of the best in the park, looking directly out over the crater lake, the active Barujari cone, and the summit across the caldera.
Descent to the Lake: While possible, the trail down to Segara Anak lake from the Senaru side is extremely steep and less commonly used for ascent.
