TREKKING A VOLCANO, MOUNT RINJANI

Home > Activities > TREKKING A VOLCANO, MOUNT RINJANI

Accept the challenge and hike Indonesia’s second highest volcano (3.726m)

Climbing the still active Mount Rinjani is one of the most challenging experiences for travelers in Indonesia. 

Its known as a deeply magic and  sacred place to the Hindus and the Sasaks who often make pilgrimages there.

Climbing to the top is a BIG EFFORT but it’s WORTH IT!

On the top of the volcano there is a 6-by-8.5-kilometre caldera, which is filled partially by Segar anak crater lake known as Segara Anak. This lake is approximately 200 metres deep and contains some hot springs.

Best time of the year: April to November
