Mt Rinjani is the 2nd highest volcanic peak in Indonesia, part of the celebrated `Ring of Fire' in Indonesia. This classic 3D2N or 4D3N Trek will have you camping out for a couple of nights, visiting the scenic Segara Anak Lake and possibly popping in the hot springs to soothe your sore muscles. End off your trek with a good hotel to rest, relax and just laze by the beautiful Senggigi Beach.
