Explore Mount Rinjani from Senaru – The Lush Gateway to Lombok’s Volcano

The Senaru Trekking Route is one of the most popular and scenic ways to explore Mount Rinjani National Park. Located on the northern side of Lombok Island, Senaru is known for its dense tropical rainforest, breathtaking crater views, and cultural charm as the traditional gateway to the mountain.
Unlike the Sembalun route, which starts in dry savannah, Senaru offers a cooler, greener ascent with shaded forest trails and the chance to spot wildlife like ebony leaf monkeys and native birds. This route is perfect for those who want a natural jungle experience and a more gradual climb.
Green Rinjani offers several carefully crafted trekking programs that begin from or pass through Senaru, tailored for different fitness levels and trekking goals.
