The Senaru trekking route is the oldest trail that lead to best Rinjani Crater rim, was first opened by the elders of the local community with the blessing of the indigenous community who inhabited the village of Senaru.
Trekking to the Senaru Crater Rim is another popular activity for visitors to Mount Rinjani, and it can be done as part of a 2-day, 1-night trip. The trek to the Senaru Crater Rim is less challenging than the trek to the summit of the mountain, and typically takes about 6-8 hours to complete, depending on your pace and the route that you take. The Senaru Crater Rim offers beautiful views of the surrounding landscape and the crater lake below, and is a popular spot for camping and taking in the scenery.

All about Rinjani-Sangkareang mountain hiking and what make unique
- The highest place in Lombok to enjoy the sunset with a warm drink. We are not camping at the top of Rinjani (3,726 meters above sea level) which is terrible, but we are sitting at 2,639 meters above sea level. It’s the best place to watch the sunset. If you like the orange color hanging in the sky and the reflection of the sea when the sun sets, don’t stress yourself trying to find a place for it. The Rinjani 2-day 1-night trekking route via Senaru is the best option for sunset lovers.
-
The situation in the camping area is relatively quiet and quiet compared to the camping spots in Rinjani Crater Rim at Senaru is quieter, quieter and cleaner.
Why is it quiet, it doesn’t mean that this place is not liked by climbers, but we are grateful that this place is protected from crowds, most of the climbers take the east route and get off the torean route
- Complete view
As I said above, you can see the vast Segara Anak Lake with an active volcano emitting smoke in the middle, on the banks of the lake surrounded by mountains that are as strong as a mountain within a mountain.Beautiful sunset views in the afternoon if it’s a clear day, besides that you can see the shadows of the Bali mountains in the distance. Not only that, if you want to see the sunrise, you can climb to the top of Mount Sangkareang, which is only 1 hour hiking up from the base camp.
Difficulty of the hike Rinjani 2D1N to Sangkareang crater rim
The hike to base camp is moderate to difficult one but you’ll be able to do it if you have at least an average level of fitness.
Can be climbed by novice climbers, because it is not a tiring path as to the top.
If you ask whether climbing to the top of Rinjani is difficult? Yes, 1000% difficult, I have been climbing to the top for 7 years and have climbed it hundreds of times, one honest word is very tiring, therefore I suggest if you want to climb to Rinjani to see the complete view of rinjani without having to bother and hike for 3 days, these hiking option is the best
The hike on first day takes between 4 to 6 hours depending on your pace. 4 hours walk under shade of jungle and last 2 hours climbing open grassy hill. Some part are quite steep so go slow and be sure of your footing especially when you make the return trip downhill which can quite slippery. The hike is about 7,5km in length round trip.
Make sure not tu rush or push yourself too hard as the quick elevation to 600 meters can put a bit of strain on your body as it needs more time to adjust.
