Mount Rinjani One Day Trek – Senaru Crater Rim Adventure (2,641 m)

Trek Overview — Intense One-Day Challenge via Senaru

The Rinjani One Day Trek via Senaru is a fast-paced and physically demanding adventure, designed for trekkers who want to experience Mount Rinjani in a single day without overnight camping. This program reaches the Senaru Crater Rim (2,641 m) and returns to Senaru Village within the same day.

Starting and finishing in Senaru Village, the trek follows the classic Senaru rainforest route, ascending steadily through dense tropical forest rich in vegetation and wildlife. Despite its short duration, the elevation gain is significant, making this trek a true endurance challenge. Trekkers aim to reach the crater rim around sunrise, when the views are at their most dramatic.

From the Senaru Crater Rim, trekkers are rewarded with sweeping panoramas over Segara Anak Lake, Mount Barujari, and the surrounding volcanic landscape. On clear mornings, distant views toward Bali and the Gili Islands may also be visible, offering a powerful sense of achievement after the intense ascent.

This program is best suited for experienced hikers or individuals in excellent physical condition who are comfortable with long, continuous climbs and steep terrain. While short in time, the One Day Senaru Trek delivers a serious mountain challenge, making it an ideal option for those with limited time who still want a raw and rewarding Mount Rinjani experience.

Trail Conditions — What to Expect

The One Day Rinjani Trek follows the Senaru route, which is dominated by steep forest trails and continuous elevation gain. The lower section passes through dense tropical rainforest with shaded paths, tree roots, and stone steps.

As altitude increases, the trail becomes steeper and more physically demanding. The final ascent to Senaru Crater Rim involves long uphill sections that test endurance, especially due to the fast pace and limited rest time. Because the trek is completed overnight, cold temperatures and darkness add to the challenge.

Fast-paced, steep, and physically demanding overnight trek with continuous ascent and dramatic crater rim views.

Ideal for:

  • Experienced trekkers with strong physical fitness
  • Adventure travelers seeking an intense challenge
  • Guests with limited time who still want a Rinjani experience

Not suitable for:

Why Planting Trees and Why GREEN Rinjani?

Together with our guests, Green Rinjani actively contributes to environmental protection through tree planting and eco-trekking initiatives around Mount Rinjani.

Planting trees helps restore forest ecosystems, improves soil stability, and reduces the risk of forest fires and erosion in vulnerable mountain areas. Every tree planted today plays a role in protecting water sources and biodiversity for future generations.

GREEN Rinjani is not just a name—it reflects our long-term commitment to responsible trekking. Through optional tree planting and regular mountain clean-up programs, we ensure that every trek gives back to the environment and local communities.
