One of Indonesia’s most popular hikes, Mount Rinjani in Lombok is famous for its breathtaking views and eerie isolation.
The three-day climb takes hikers through a range of ecosystems, from sub-montane rainforest to savanna.
At the top, trekkers are rewarded with views of the crater lake called Segara Anak. If the day is clear, views can extend outwards to around the entirety of Lombok island and even to Bali.
This hike is not easy and as there are several different routes up the volcano, a guide is recommended.
