2 Days 1 Night Tetebatu Crater Rim & Mount Sangkareang Trek

The Untouched Jungle & Rinjani’s Hidden Second Peak

Looking to escape the crowds and experience the wilder side of Rinjani National Park? Our 2-Day, 1-Night Tetebatu route is the ultimate off-the-beaten-path adventure. Starting from the lush, green village of Tetebatu in the south, this trek immerses you in pristine tropical rainforests teeming with wildlife before ascending to the breathtaking Tetebatu Crater Rim.

The highlight of this journey comes on day two when you summit Mount Sangkareang (3,200m)—often called Rinjani’s second peak. From this unique southern vantage point, you will be rewarded with a spectacular, rarely-seen angle of the turquoise Segara Anak Lake, the smoking Mount Baru Jari volcano, and the towering main summit of Mount Rinjani.

 

 

🌟 Trek Highlights

  • Mount Sangkareang Sunrise: Conquer the 3,200m peak for a breathtaking sunrise with a completely different perspective of the crater lake than the northern routes.

  • The Monkey Forest: Trek through dense, ancient jungle canopies and spot the rare black ebony leaf monkeys (Lutung) and long-tailed macaques in their natural habitat.

  • Off-the-Beaten-Path: Enjoy a peaceful, pristine trail with a fraction of the trekkers found on the Senaru or Sembalun routes.

  • Unique Flora: Hike through untouched ecosystems, passing giant ferns, wild orchids, and fields of Edelweiss near the crater rim.
