Rising to an impressive 12,224 feet (3,726 meters), Mt. Rinjani, also known as Gunung Rinjani, stands as a prominent feature in the landscape of north Lombok, Indonesia. The mountain’s towering peak, complete with a crater lake, offers a challenging and rewarding climb for those who venture to its summit or even just to the crater rim, a common stopping point for many hikers. When volcanic and seismic activity allows, the trek up Mt. Rinjani is a highlight for adventure seekers, while the lower slopes provide scenic hikes even when the upper reaches are closed.
