Camping on Mount Rinjani: A Night Above the Clouds
Spending the night camping on Mount Rinjani is an unforgettable experience, offering breathtaking views and a true connection with nature.
On Night 1, camp at the Sembalun Crater Rim, a stunning vantage point overlooking Lombok’s rolling landscapes. Most trekkers pitch their tents on a relatively flat area along the crater rim, which ranges from 25 meters wide to just 15 meters at its narrowest sections. As the sun sets, the sky turns into a masterpiece of fiery hues, making it one of the most scenic campsites on the trek.
Night 2 at Senaru Crater Rim, another spectacular campsite with panoramic views of Segara Anak Lake and the towering Mount Rinjani summit. While there are no permanent facilities, reputable trekking companies provide private toilet tents, ensuring a more comfortable and hygienic experience.
Although the campsites are rugged, the magic of sleeping above the clouds, under a sky full of stars, makes the Mount Rinjani trekking experience truly extraordinary.
