06:15 – 08:00 | Senaru Gate to Post 1 – 915 m
Your Senaru One Day Trek begins with a walk through the cool and lush tropical forest of Senaru. The trail starts with earthy, shaded paths and gradually becomes steeper as you move deeper into the forest.
The surrounding trees provide shade during the first section of the hike, making this part of the journey a refreshing introduction to Mount Rinjani.
08:00 – 08:15 | Short Break at Post 1

Continue trekking through the forest toward Post 2, Montong Satas. The trail gradually becomes more demanding with a steady uphill climb.

10:00 – 12:00 | Post 2 to Post 3 – Mondokan Lolon, 2,000 m
The trail becomes more challenging as you gain altitude. Large tree roots naturally form steps along some sections of the route.
