Based on article that I post before, there are view alternative route to the top of Rinjani Mountain. Here is the few possible variations route to the top of Rinjani Mountain. They’re outlined here:
1. Compress the last 2 days into one (racking up a hefty 10 to 11 hours on the trail). On the plus side it’s downhill all the way after the hard climb to the summit.
2. Retrace your steps to Senaru after climbing to the summit, making a 5-day circuit that includes another night at the hot springs.
3. Another popular route, because the trail is well defined and (if you’re experienced) can be trekked with only a porter, is a three-day trek from Senaru to the hot springs and back. The first night is spent at Post III and the second at the hot springs. The return to Senaru on the final day takes eight to 9 hours.
4. For almost instant gratification if you travel light and climb fast you can reach the crater rim from Senaru in about six hours. You’ll gain an altitude of approximately 2040m in 10km. Armed with a torch flashlight, some moonlight and a guide, set off at midnight to arrive for sunrise. The return takes about five hours.
5. If you reach Pelawangan I early in the day, consider taking a side trip along the crater rim, following it around to the east for about 3km to Sangkareang Mountain 2919m. This point overlooks the gap in the rim where the stream that comes from the hot springs flows out of the crater and northeast towards the sea. It’s not an easy walk, however, and the track is narrow and very exposed in places – if you do decide to give it a go, allow around two hours getting there and back.
6. Start trekking from Sembalun Lawang a guide is essential, from where it takes six or seven hours to get to Pelawangan II. This is a shorter walk to the rim than from Senaru, with only a 3 hour trek up the ridge.
