Starting and finishing in Senaru village, this trek takes you through lush tropical forests, diverse wildlife habitats, and up to the crater rim where you’ll enjoy incredible sunset and sunrise panoramas over Mount Rinjani, Segara Anak Lake, and the Gili Islands.

Highlights of the 2-Day Crater Rim Senaru Trek

Hike through pristine tropical rainforest with towering trees and local strawberries
Spot wildlife — black monkeys, brown monkeys, tropical birds, and butterflies
Marvel at panoramic views of Gili Islands, Senaru village, and Lombok’s lush forests
Witness an unforgettable sunset and sunrise over Segara Anak Lake from the crater rim
Eco-friendly experience — tree planting included to help preserve the mountain

Trail Conditions — What to Expect

Expect a steady uphill climb through shady jungle trails, with a gradual ascent from the tropical forest to open grassy ridges and rocky paths.
You’ll pass several scenic rest stops, including Cemara Lima with expansive views, before reaching Plawangan Senaru Crater Rim (2,641m).

This trek does not reach the summit (3,726m) or visit the hot springs and Segara Anak Lake (these are only accessible on longer treks).
However, the crater rim vantage point delivers sweeping views that make the climb worthwhile.

This route is moderately challenging and best suited for trekkers with good fitness and hiking experience.
