MT. RINJANI VOLCANO LOMBOK
INDONESIA
Mt Rinjani, Lombok's famous volcano,
soars 3726 meter above sea level
and is the second highest volcano in
Indonesia, attracting thousands of
trekkers and climbers annually. The
huge crater near the top contains a
beautiful lake called "Danau Segara
Anak" and a smaller volcanic cone
called "Gunung Baru Jari", which was
formed a couple of hundred years
ago. There are number of caves and
waterfall and hot springs located
around the volcano.
Mount Rinjani National Park
The National Park extends over an
area of 41,330 ha. with the
surrounding protected forest
covering 51.500ha. Community base
activities are conducted in
conjunction with the Rinjani Trek
Center in Senaru. Mount Rinjani and
Lake Segara Anak located in the
north of Lombok 85 kilometers from
Mataram, Mount Rinjani is the
second highest peak in Indonesia
standing at majestic 3726m.
For the people of Lombok Sasak and
Balinese alike, treat this mountain as
a sacred place, they consider the
Gods live at the summit of the
mountain.
Danau Segara Anak located at
2000 meters above sea level is the
destination of thousand pilgrims who
place offering in the water and take
bathe to take away disease in the
hot spring. The endemic duck Belibis
is found here and several species of
fish are recorded. Mt. Rinjani, one of
the over 40 National Parks
throughout Indonesia, was
established in 1997. This magnificent
crater lake now holds a new and
active volcano, Mt. Baru Jari which
appeared this country. on The north
side of the lake is a hot spring ( one
of 4 Segara Anak hot springs found
there) which is said to cure disease.
It is truly an unforgettable
experience to climb such an
impressive Mountain as Rinjani and
the 2 trek trail expedition ( Senaru
and Sembalun) that are offered and
the spectacular scenery were
contributing factors to Rinjani
National Park winning the National
Geographic World Tourism Award in
2004.
Over 20 villages surround Rinjani and
there are many routes up the
mountain, but the main access is
from Senaru in the north and
Sembalun Lawang to the east. The
challenging three - day Rinjani trek
route from Senaru to crater rim
(Pelawangan), down to the stunning
crater lake then on to Sembalun
Lawang, is considered one of the
best treks in South East Asia.
Those heading for the summit usually
prefer to start in Sembalun Lawang.
A model for ecotourism in Indonesia,
the community - based activities are
focused on the Rinjani Trek Centre
in Senaru, the most popular starting
point for the tough trek. Developed
with New Zealand Government
assistant since 1999, the Rinjani
Trek Centre embodies under one roof
(satu atap) the unique partnership
of the National park, Tourism
industry and local communities that
has been forgot to manage and
protect the Rinjani mountain
environment.
volcanic cone which has formed in
the center. Rinjani last erupted in
1994, and evidence of this can be
seen in the fresh lava and yellow
sulfur around the inner cone. Central
Lombok, to the south of Rinjani, is
similar to Bali with rich alluvial plains
and fields irrigated by water flowing
from the mountains. In the far
south and east it is drier, with
scrubby, barren hills. This area gets
little rain and often has droughts
which can last for months. In recent
years, several dams have been built,
so the abundant rain-fall of the wet
season can be retained for irrigation
throughout the year.
