Climb to Senaru crater rim and camp with a view of Mount Agung

A 2-day private Mount Rinjani trek from Senaru that starts in dense tropical forest, climbs through four marked posts to the crater rim at 2,641 meters, and camps overnight with views of Bali's Mount Agung and the volcano's smoke. An experienced English-speaking guide and porter handle the route. All camping gear, meals and the national park entrance fee are included. Day two descends through rainforest back to Senaru village.

The experience

The trek begins at Rinjani Trek Center in Senaru around 8 a.m., moving through tropical forest thick with birds and butterflies. You'll stop at Post 2 Montong Satas shelter at 1,500 meters for tea and biscuits, then push on for two hours to Post 3 Mondokan Lolak at 2,000 meters where lunch waits. After eating, the final two-hour climb takes you to Senaru crater rim at 2,641 meters: the most dramatic viewpoint on the mountain. You camp here for the night, watching the sunset over Mount Agung in Bali and the smoke rising from the volcano's edge.

Your guide speaks English and a porter carries the heavier load. The camping setup includes a tent, 7-centimeter sleeping mat, sleeping bag, camping chair and a toilet tent. Meals come three times a day plus snacks and fruit. You'll drink from large bottles of mineral water provided each day. The national park entrance fee and hiking insurance are already paid.

On day two, after sunrise breakfast, you descend through rainforest for five hours back to Senaru village at 601 meters, stopping for lunch along the way. The trek ends when you reach the village.
