Rinjani 3 Days with Cakrawala: 2 a.m. Summit Start, Black Monkeys on the Way Down
Three days from Sembalun to Senaru, over the summit and down to the lake, run by Cakrawala Rinjani. Read the fitness line before booking, because this operator states it plainly: the programme suits experienced climbers, or anyone able to walk uphill and downhill for an average of eight hours a day. Three days on Rinjani is not a long walk with views, it is three consecutive days of that. The summit push starts at two in the morning, in the dark, on a hot drink and a light breakfast. Six o'clock at 3,726 metres, with sunrise, Lombok below and Bali, Sumbawa and Segara Anak lake around it. The second day does not stop there. Down to the Sembalun rim for a proper breakfast, three hours further down to the lake, a swim and the hot springs, then back up to the Senaru rim for the second camp, which is where the sunset over Mount Agung happens. The last day drops 2,040 metres through rainforest to Senaru village at 601 metres. Black monkeys live in that forest. Seeing one is luck, not schedule. Cancel 24 hours or more before departure for a full refund.

Day two. Up at about 2:00 in the dark, with a hot drink and a light breakfast, then the walk to the summit. 6:00 at the top, 3,726 m, in time for sunrise: Lombok, Bali, Sumbawa and Segara Anak lake all in view at once. Back down to the Sembalun crater rim in two hours, and breakfast there. Then three hours further down to Segara Anak lake. The stop by the lake is for resting and swimming. The hot water takes the ache out of the walking and has a long local reputation for healing. Porters cook lunch here. After that, the climb back up to the Senaru crater rim at 2,641 m, the second campsite, and the view from it: sunset behind Mount Agung on Bali, with the new volcano at the edge of the lake below.
