TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Mount Rinjani in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, is a favorite hiking destination known for its stunning natural beauty. To preserve the ecosystem and ensure sustainability, the Mount Rinjani National Park (TNGR) authority has implemented a strict and well-regulated hiking system.
Hiking is only permitted through official routes to safeguard hikers and enable efficient evacuation in emergencies. Based on a report from Antara on March 31, 2023, here are six official hiking routes on Mount Rinjani:
1. Senaru Route
The Senaru Route is one of the most popular official entry points and is commonly used as a descent path from the summit of Mount Rinjani. Many hikers also choose to begin their ascent from this route, as it offers scenic views of dense tropical forests and a cool climate.
The tranquil atmosphere and lush surroundings make it ideal for those seeking a peaceful hiking experience.
2. Tete Batu Route
The Tete Batu Route presents an equally appealing option. With unspoiled landscapes, thick forests, and refreshing air, it is perfect for hikers looking to escape the crowds.
This route offers a more relaxed and serene hiking journey, making it a great choice for nature lovers in search of solitude and beauty.
3. Timbanuh Route
Starting from the official gate, the Timbanuh Route leads to Pelawangan Timbanuh. The terrain is rocky and steep, providing a good challenge for adventurous hikers.
This route offers a different perspective of Mount Rinjani, with untouched surroundings and impressive natural views.
4. Sembalun Route
The Sembalun Route is among the most favored trails to Mount Rinjani’s summit. Hikers traverse wide savanna fields before reaching Pelawangan Sembalun, then Danau Segara Anak, and finally the summit.
Suitable for both beginners and experienced hikers, this route is popular due to its breathtaking landscapes and relatively manageable terrain.
5. Torean Route
Famous for its spectacular views, the Torean Route takes hikers through valleys, rivers, waterfalls, and towering cliffs. Following the flow of a river, this route offers a unique and visually rich experience.
It is ideal for hikers seeking a memorable and picturesque adventure on Mount Rinjani.
7. Aik Berik Route
Starting from Aik Berik Village, this route leads to Pelawangan Aik Berik or Puncak Sangkareang, known as the second summit of Mount Rinjani.
