RINJANI TREKKING ROUTES
There are several routes when people want to trekking around Mt. Rinjani to get some experiences and enjoy the view of Mt. Rinjani and Segara Anak Lake, hot spring and the new one waterfall via Torean route and especially when you reach to the top.
We offer two iconic routes that have gained global acclaim since 1994, along with a new addition launched in 2021. Each route boasts unique advantages and is seamlessly interconnected. While there are other trails to the east and south of Mount Rinjani—specifically the Timbanuh, Aik Berik, and Tetebatu routes Rinjani Hiro will not be covering them in detail here, as we are focusing on the three primary routes to the summit.
-
NORTH ROUTE:
Bayan- Senaru trekking route
Senaru – Pelawangan (north side of calderas edge) – Kokok Putih needs around 9.5 hrs. this is the easiest route with smooth slope and the best view of a new stream of lava of Babanan.
2. Torean Route
The Torean route has long been used by the locals of Lombok as a meditation path. It is believed to have healing properties for certain ailments, as it provides direct access to natural hot springs and thermal caves located at several points along the trail.
In 2021, following the reopening after the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2018 earthquake, the Torean route was officially opened to the public. It quickly became the most popular trail for both local and Asian climbers.
3. SOUTHEAST ROUTE: SEMBALUN LAWANG
There are two routes: Sembalun Lawang-Pelawangan-Summit; and Sembalun Lawang -Pelawangan-Kokok Putih. These two routes need the same length of time to complete, that is around 10.5 hrs. even though the second route is more difficult, people prefer to use this route because it is easier to reach the top of Mt. Rinjani.
