Trip route to Mount Rinjani

There are two ways to get to the location of Mount Rinjani Lombok, which is by land and air, depending on where you start the journey.

If you start the journey from Banyuwangi, you have to go to the Port of Gilimanuk Bali by ferry boat cost Rp 8 thousand per person. From Gilimanuk port, the journey continues to Ubung Terminal Denpasar by bus cost Rp 35 thousand (about 3 hours trip). 

From Ubung terminal, continued again to Mataram Mandalika Terminal at a cost of Rp 25 thousand. From the Mandalika terminal, then take the Elf type vehicle to Pasar Aikmel at a cost of about Rp 20 thousand. In this market, you can buy logistical needs as stock during the climb to Mount Rinjani.

In addition to the peak, a place that is often visited is Segara Anakan, a crater lake at an altitude of 2,000 meters above sea level.

There are 2 routes to reach the location:

• Senaru Village: from Mataram - Bayan - Senaru, ± 82 km (2.5 hours)
• Sembalun Lawang Village: from Mataram - Selong - sambelia - Sembalun Lawang, ± 140 km (4.5 hours)

The climbers usually like to travel through Sembalun, because the Sembalun route is a bit long but flat, and the weather is hotter because through the sweltering savanna (cold temperatures but direct sun radiation burns the skin).

The initial challenge that must be taken is the vast and hilly savannas. These natural characteristics provide a new experience for the adventurers who used to climb the mountains in Java. Usually mountain ranges in Java more presenting homogeneous and heterogeneous forests.

Dusty land with a stinging climate makes stamina quickly drained. Only in some places lies the thick weeds of grass as a delicacy for the shepherds' sheep. In some places there are special posts that can be used for camping with springs and emergency lavatories.

After the savannas, the terrain was getting heavier. A steep climb with a gaping chasm begins to exist between heterogeneous hemispheres. Mount Rinjani can be said safe from the threat of wild animals. Birds, hanging monkeys and forest chickens are often found in the forest.

After traveling about 7 hours, arrived at pelawangan (mountain ridge) Sembalun Lawang. The location is covered with pine mountain (Casuarina junghuniana) this is the last climbing post before heading to the peak.

Pelawangan Sembalun Lawang is located right on the slope of Lake Segara Anakan buffer. As a result, while resting, climbers can feel as much as witness the exotic giant lake formed by volcanic eruption of Mount Rinjani.
