Planning to hike Mount Rinjani? Awesome choice!
Before you strap on those hiking boots, here’s everything you need to know — from what Rinjani National Park is all about, how to get here, and what to prepare so your trek goes smooth and stress-free.
Let’s get you ready for the adventure!
About Rinjani National Park
Gunung Rinjani is one of Indonesia’s most iconic volcanoes — standing tall at 3,726 meters, it’s the second highest volcano in the country. But it’s not just about the summit. Rinjani is part of a protected area called Taman Nasional Gunung Rinjani, full of beauty and biodiversity.
Inside the park, you’ll find:
The famous Segara Anak Lake (yes, inside the crater!)
Natural hot springs (great after a long hike)
Stunning sunrise and sunset views
Lush forests, unique wildlife, and sacred spots for local people
It’s a spiritual and natural wonder — no wonder so many people say it’s the best trek in Indonesia.
How to Get to Mount Rinjani
Mount Rinjani is located in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. The two main gateways to the mountain are:
Senaru (North Lombok) – perfect for the crater rim & lake treks
Sembalun (East Lombok) – the main route to the summit
Here’s how to get to Lombok first:
By Air:
Fly to Lombok International Airport (LOP) from Bali, Jakarta, or other major cities.
We’ll pick you up at the airport or anywhere on the island — easy!
By Boat:
Take a fast boat from Bali to Bangsal (Lombok’s main harbor in the north).
We can also pick you up from the harbor or nearby hotels.
Rinjani Eye includes transport in all trekking packages — so you don’t need to worry about how to get to the mountain. We’ve got you covered.
What to Prepare Before Your Rinjani Trek
Rinjani isn’t a walk in the park — but with the right prep, you’ll totally enjoy it! Here’s what you need to get ready:

The better your fitness, the more you’ll enjoy the views (and the climb)
