Volcano Rinjani
Rinjani volcano is also considered one of the highest points in Indonesia, located on the island of Lombok. Despite the fact that it is an active volcano, ascents are regularly organized to its peak. The last activity of the volcano was observed in 2015, it was accompanied by the release of a column of ash.
Rinjani volcano is surrounded by Segara Anak Lake, which is surrounded by dense forest. All this together forms the Rinjani Mountains National Park. The uniqueness of the park lies in the fact that representatives of the animal world and vegetation of Asia and Australia can be found on its territory. Some people come here specifically to observe the birds that live here in large numbers.
Rinjani Mountain Hiking
Hiking trips to the top of the volcano are offered at all nearby hotels and hostels. However, you can go tracking on your own. It is customary to set two days for climbing. On the first day, groups of tourists climb to the base camp. You can walk from it to the hot springs. On the morning of the second day, the ascent begins to the very top, which is 3726 meters high.
Many mountain tourism enthusiasts come to the island to climb to the edge of the Rinjani volcano. Such a trip does not require special training, especially if the equipment and other cargo are carried by specially trained people from the nearest village. Everything you need to spend the night on the mountain can be rented at the foot.
Segara Anak Lake is a unique object in its own way, for Hindus it is considered sacred, and various ceremonies are held on it. Once a year, people from all parts of the world come here and perform a common prayer in white robes right by the shore.
In addition to Rinjani volcano, there are Hindu temples on Lambok Island, which also deserve the attention of tourists. The water Palace of Mayura is another attraction of the island. Unlike Bali, there are not many tourists here, and the tourist service is not so well developed, but nature is practically untouched and there are beautiful beaches. Here you can explore the seabed, or conquer the waves.
Small settlements with local residents can be considered a tourist attraction. People here are engaged in handicrafts and offer various souvenirs for sale. Travelers may also be interested in rice fields and numerous tobacco plantations.
