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.
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.
Wherever you arrive in Lombok (Airport, Kuta, Senggigi, or the harbors), the Hans Lombok Trekking team will pick you up and drive you to your accommodation in the cool, agricultural village of Tetebatu. You will meet your guide for a full trek briefing, check your equipment, and enjoy a relaxing evening surrounded by rice terraces.
07:00 AM: Enjoy a hearty breakfast at your hotel in Tetebatu.
08:00 AM: Register at the trekking center and step straight into the lush Tetebatu Monkey Forest. The trail is shaded and vibrant, filled with the sounds of the jungle.
12:00 PM: Arrive at Post 2 in the heart of the forest. Your porters will prepare a hot, freshly cooked trail lunch and warm drinks.
01:00 PM – 04:00 PM: The trail steepens as the dense jungle gives way to open grassy savannahs and sweeping views of the southern valleys.
04:30 PM: Arrive at the Tetebatu Crater Rim campsite (approx. 2,800m). Your tents will be set up by our team. Relax with a hot drink and watch a magnificent sunset over the distant Mount Agung in Bali. Enjoy a warm dinner under the stars.
04:30 AM: Wake up under the stars! We serve hot coffee, tea, and a light breakfast to fuel your morning climb.
05:00 AM: Begin the 1.5-hour ascent to Mount Sangkareang. The trail is steep but incredibly rewarding as you pass through fields of wild Edelweiss.
06:30 AM: Reach the peak of Mount Sangkareang (3,200m)! Watch the sunrise illuminate the massive Rinjani caldera below. You will have a clear, uninterrupted view of Segara Anak Lake and the active Mount Baru Jari cone.
07:30 AM: Begin the descent back to your campsite at the crater rim.
08:30 AM: Arrive at camp for a large, well-deserved second breakfast.
