Mendaki Gunung Rinjani Lombok

In December 2012 and I was with friends from Backpacker Bandung which numbered about 14 people intending at some earlier time to go to Lombok, but it remains unclear when it wants where time in Lombok, we finally decided to go to rinjani, one The biggest mountain in Indonesia.

About Rinjani:

Mount Rinjani Located on the island of Lombok, To reach Mount Rinjani, you can use the direct bus from Jakarta to Mataram, after arriving at mataram you to the village of Sembalun or can also use the vehicle to the village of Senaru setempat.atau using flight from Jakarta, Surabaya, and Denpasar heading to the airport Selaparang Mataram - Lombok.

Rinjani has panaroma best among the mountains in Indonesia. Each year (June to August) frequently visited by lovers of nature ranging from local residents, students, nature lovers.

The average air temperature of about 20 ° C; Lowest 12 ° C. Strong winds in the usual peak occurred in August.

In addition to the summit, a place frequented is Segara Chicks, a lake located at an altitude of 2,000m above sea level. To reach this location we can climb from the village Senaru or Sembalun Lawang village (two nearest entry point at an altitude of 600m above sea level and 1.150m asl).

Most climbers begin the ascent of the route Sembalun and ending ascent in Senaru, because it could save 700m altitude. Sembalun these rather long but flat, and the weather is hot because through the blazing savanna (cold temperature but direct solar radiation burning the skin). cream shading is highly recommended.

From the Route Senaru climb without respite, but the weather was soft because through the woods. From these two locations takes about 7 hours walking to the lip of the ridge at an altitude of 2.641m asl (arriving in Plawangan Senaru or Plawangan Sembalun). In this place great views towards the lake, as well as to the outside is very nice. From Plawangan Senaru (if rising from the direction Senaru) down to the lake via a steep wall to a height of 2,000 meters above sea level) that can be taken within 2 hours. At the lake we can camping, fishing (Carper, Mujair) aplenty. Lombok residents have a tradition of visiting immediately puppies For soaking in hot tubs and fishing.

To reach the top (of the lake) had to walk to climb the western wall and climb as high as 700m high ridge 1.000 m taken dlm 2 phase 3 hours and 4 hours. A first step toward Plawangan Sembalun, the last camp to await the morning. Summit attack is usually done at 3 o'clock dawn to look for the beautiful moments - sunrise at the top of Rinjani. The trip to the summit is considered good; because climbing on the crater rim with a margin of safety that is mediocre. Terrain of sand, stone, soil. Last altitude of 200 meters must be taken with great difficulty, because one step forward followed by a half-step down (fallen rocks gravel). Create highlander - this the most challenging and unpaid preferred because of the rough terrain with beautiful natural scenery. Gunung Agung in Bali, Mount Ijen-Merapi in Banyuwangi and Mount Tambora on Sumbawa clearly visible when the weather is nice in the morning. To climb Rinjani is not necessary tools, enough stamina, patience and "passion".

Overall the trip can be accomplished in three days and two nights program, or if you want to see two other objects: Cave Milk and Mount Baru Jari (Mount Rinjani child with a new crater in the middle of the lake) need an extra two days of travel. Logistical preparation is necessary, but fortunately everything can be obtained in the nearby village. Tent, sleeping bag, cutlery, groceries and whatever is needed (including radio communication) can be rented from the homestay-homestay mushrooming in the village Senaru.m www.info2lombok.com more information.

As said above, On the mountain there is a child Rinjani mountain and a lake that I think is beautiful, her name if no one Segaara child.
The lakes second place for the climbers have made in the opportunity to put up a tent and fishing, yes because according to myth, the lake is at say never run Source Fish, even for fishing not take long.
