A successful trek begins with knowing what to expect. Your adventure takes you through Gunung Rinjani National Park, a 41,330-hectare reserve centered around a massive volcanic caldera. The park’s landscape is incredibly diverse, featuring tropical rainforests, savannah, and rocky peaks teeming with unique flora and fauna. The caldera rim rises to 2,700 meters, with its highest point—the summit—reaching an impressive 3,726 meters.
Within the crater lies one of Rinjani’s most spectacular sights: the Segara Anak crater lake. This stunning body of water is considered a sacred site by the local people. At its center rises the active Gunung Baru volcano, a reminder of the mountain’s powerful geology, which last erupted in 2010. The lake’s edge is bordered by natural hot springs, offering a perfect place to relax and swim.
As Indonesia’s second-highest volcano, Mount Rinjani dominates the skyline of Lombok. The climb to its summit is a challenging and exhilarating achievement.
We believe that trekking this natural wonder is a privilege. At Jou Trekking, we are committed to eco-tourism and actively involved in preserving the park. The revenue from entry fees and tourism is vital for conservation, management, and maintenance efforts, ensuring the park’s long-term sustainability. We encourage all our guests to join us in this important mission.
