There are two most popular ways to climb Gunung Rinjani are a five-day trek that starts at Senaru and finishes at Sembalun Lawang, or a strenuous sprinkle from Senaru to the crater rim and back. Basic steps are essential from the hot springs to Sembalun Lawang, as the path is indistinct this trek is outlined on the Gunung Rinjani map. Another good map is the one from the Rinjani Trek Centre- it is large, in color, slick and easy to understand.
It’s often not possible to climb Rinjani during the wet season, particularly after heavy rainfall when the trail around the lake is very dangerous due to the threat of rock fall.
