If you have luggage, you will be able to leave it at the secure storage facility at the restaurant (we have a special arrangement with Cafe Rinjani Dawn).
  • After you have admired the view over the rice fields and finished your coffee, you will meet your local guide, who will be guiding you to Sengang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfalls.
  •  Sendang Gile & Tiu Kelep waterfalls are two of Lombok’s most beautiful natural attractions. It takes around 30 minutes to walk to the first one, following a narrow path an irrigation stream up the valley. 
  • The walk to Tiu Kelep from Sendang Gile takes around 40 minutes, and involves a couple of small river crossing (knee high water). 
  • On return from the waterfalls, you will be treated to a delicious selection of food and drink at Cafe Rinjani Dawn.
  • After lunch you can chill-out and rest while your food digests, and when you’re ready for the next part of your adventure, your guide will take you on a panorama walk along rice fields and through villages. You will finish at Senaru Traditional Village.
  • Senaru Traditional Village is an authentic Sasak village, that is still functioning as a place of habitation and community life. Your guide will take you around the village, and you can ask questions about traditions and village life. 
  • Coffee gardens and Tiu Kelep viewpoint. After the traditional village, you will have the opportunity to visit some of the local coffee gardens, which villagers use to cultivate coffee, vanilla, and other produce. After this brief visit, your guide will show you where you will be camping in the evening – a beautiful campsite overlooking Tiu Kelep waterfall. 
  • You will have the option to have a shower at Cafe Rinjani Dawn, or a more primitive shower at the campsite. For dinner, you can choose between dining at the restaurant, or at the campsite. Indonesian delicacies will be on the menu, alternatively freshly made pizza. 
  • You will be sleeping in a tent at the campsite, with your guide sleeping close-by, in case you need anything during the night (as it is rainforest, there will be monkeys and other animals in the vicinity). 

Day 2: Senaru Crater Rim trek: Approx 7 hours trekking, 10.5km distance, 2040m vertical ascent

  • You’ll have an early yet leisurely breakfast around 7am, at the campsite overlooking Tui Kelep waterfall. 
  • You’re guide will give you a briefing about the trek to Senaru Crater Rim, which is 10.5km in distance, and involves a climb of 2040 vertical meters (yep, you guessed it, it’s an uphill slog!). 
  • Any luggage you don’t wish to carry on the trek can be left in our care (we have a secure room and safe, that you can use). All you will need to carry for the next two days is a daypack with a change of clothes and personal effects, toiletries etc. The guide will give you a 1 litre bottle of water to carry, which you can switch out for a new one when finished. 
  • When you’ve packed your things you’ll make your way onto the Mt Rinjani trail. 
  • You will have regular rest and re-hydration stops during the trek, as it’s mostly uphill. The first one will be after around one hour of walking “Pos 1” or “Bunut Ngengkang” around 750m AMSL.
  • The path up through the rainforest is well defined and easy to follow. You will be trekking in the shade for most of the day. But it can be humid under the canopy, so ensure to take regular breaks to re-hydrate.
  • Your next rest stop at “Pos 2” or “Montong Satas” will be an hour long lunch break where the porters and guide will prepare some delicious hot food. You are free to relax, take photos of monkeys and other wildlife, and chat amongst yourselves. 
  • After you’ve had a decent break it will be time to put on your hiking boots again and re-commence the trek to the crater rim. 
  • The next rest stop (usually taken around 3pm) is at “Pos 3” or “Mondokan Lokak” at 2000m elevation. You will have emerged from the forest and broken the treeline, hopefully to clear blue skies!  
  • From Pos 3 you’ll have around another two hours of climbing to get to the crater rim. Stick in there – it’s worth it!
  • All going to plan, you should reach Senaru Crater Rim by 5pm, in time to admire the view and watch the sunset. Your guide will prepare you a hot drink, whilst the porters will make camp and start preparing the evening’s meal. 
  • After dinner you can relax on a camp chair admiring the view, or crash out in your tent. It can get cold on Mt Rinjani at night, so it is recommended you bring some warm clothes for the evening. Please check out out Mt Rinjani Guide for more information.

Day 3: Senaru Crater Rim trek: Approx 5 hours trekking, 10.5km distance, 2040m vertical descent

  • You’ll wake up to a fresh cup of coffee and hopefully a clear view of Mount Rinjani and lake Segara Anak. Your guide and porters will prepare you a hot breakfast, as well as fruit and other local produce.
  • You’ll have time to enjoy being on the crater, and are free to explore the ridgeline to take photos. 
  • When everyone is ready to leave, you will start your walk off the mountain, back to Senaru village. 
  • You will take rest-breaks at the stops used on the way-up, but it will be a lot easier than the day before – down hill all the way.
  • Although going downhill is generally easier than up, it’s recommended you use the trekking poles supplied by Rinjani Dawn Adventures as it’s steep and slippey in places. 
  • When you get back to Senaru you’ll say goodbye to your guide and porters, and meet-up with one of our drivers, who’ll be responsible for taking you to your next destination. 
  • This will be the end of your Mount Rinjani National Park Adventure tour, three days of waterfalls, camping, trekking and culture in the heart of Lombok.
