Mount Rinjani rises 3,726 metres above Lombok, making it Indonesia's second-highest volcano and the tallest peak in the Nusa Tenggara archipelago. The stratovolcano last erupted in 2016, when a magnitude-6.4 earthquake triggered rockslides that closed all routes for eight months.
Rinjani's caldera holds Segara Anak, a crescent lake 2,000 metres above sea level, formed after a catastrophic eruption 13,000 years ago ejected an estimated 20 cubic kilometres of material. Within that lake, the active cone Gunung Barujari continues to build, its fumaroles visible from the crater rim.
The Mount Rinjani 2 day trek to Senaru Crater Rim became the park's most accessible route after the 2010 trail network expansion. The Senaru trailhead sits at 601 metres elevation on the volcano's northern flank, requiring a 1,400-metre ascent to reach Pos 3 campsite at 2,000 metres by sunset. Trekkers depart at 03:00 for the summit push, gaining 1,726 metres over 3.5 hours of loose scoria and hardened lava channels. Dawn from the summit reveals the Gili Islands 40 kilometres west and Sumbawa's peaks 60 kilometres east, with Segara Anak's turquoise water directly below.
Gunung Rinjani National Park was gazetted in 1997, protecting 41,330 hectares of montane forest, subalpine meadow, and volcanic desert. The conservation fee of 250,000 IDR per person per day funds trail maintenance, porter welfare programs, and endemic species monitoring. The park shelters the Rinjani scops owl, found nowhere else, and 14 primate species including the endangered ebony leaf monkey. Above 2,500 metres, edelweiss and casuarina trees colonize ash slopes, their roots stabilizing terrain that shifts with each tremor.
The Mount Rinjani 2 day trek price reflects guide licensing, porter wages, and waste-removal logistics instituted after a 2018 audit found eight tonnes of refuse at high camps. All operators now follow a pack-in, pack-out protocol, with designated toilet sites at Pos 2 and Pos 3. The trail remains open year-round, though the June-to-September dry season offers the most stable conditions. Monsoonal rains from December through March turn the upper scoria fields into sliding chutes, and afternoon fog obscures route markers above 2,800 metres. Registration at the Rinjani Trek Centre in Senaru village opens at 07:00 daily, with the final ascent window closing at 10:00 to ensure groups reach Pos 3 before the equatorial sunset at 18:30.

A step-by-step walkthrough of Mount Rinjani 2 Day Trek tickets — what you'll see, how long each stage takes, and the details that matter.
You register at the Rinjani Trek Centre by 08:00, presenting your passport and receiving a numbered wristband that grants access to the Senaru gate. Your guide distributes two litres of water per person and checks that your daypack weighs under seven kilograms — porters carry tents, food, and sleeping bags separately.
The trail begins as a shaded dirt path through coffee plantations, gaining 300 metres over the first hour before entering primary forest at Pos 1. Mist clings to the canopy, and you hear the low whoops of ebony leaf monkeys overhead.
By 13:00 you reach Pos 2 at 1,500 metres, where the vegetation shifts to pine and casuarina. The gradient steepens, and the trail becomes a series of exposed switchbacks over volcanic sand. At 16:30 you arrive at Pos 3, a flat ridge at 2,000 metres where porters have erected dome tents and begun boiling water for instant noodles. You rest for three hours, then wake at 02:30 for the summit push. Headlamps illuminate a single-file line of trekkers ascending loose scoria in the dark. At 06:10, you stand at 3,726 metres as the sun breaks over Sumbawa, casting long shadows across Segara Anak 1,700 metres below. You descend to Pos 3 by 09:00, pack your gear, and hike out to Senaru village by 15:00, covering 18 kilometres over two days with a cumulative elevation gain of 3,125 metres.
