A compact 2D1N trek from Aik Berik leads you through rainforest, pine stands and savannah to camp at 2,600 m and a pre-dawn ascent to Puncak Kondo (3,200 m) for sunrise over Segara Anak. This route includes visits to Benang Kelambu and Benang Stokel waterfalls.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Dawn arrives cool and clear at the basecamp and the jungle exhales — mist lifts from the river, and an old four-wheel-drive hums toward the rain forest gate. You start on a narrow path that threads rainforest, gives way to a stand of pine, and then opens into sun-bright savannah as the trail climbs. By late afternoon the campsite at about 2,600 m sits under a sky that seems to lean toward the ridge, offering a first, wide look at Rinjani’s crater geometry.

History
The Aik Berik approach was opened officially in 2018 to diversify access to Rinjani’s high country; the mountain remains culturally important to Sasak communities surrounding the park.
Conservation
Rinjani sits inside a protected national park — stick to established trails, pack out waste, and avoid open fires to reduce human impact on fragile highland vegetation.

Acclimatize before the summit push
Take your time on the evening ascent and hydrate — you’ll be sleeping at 2,600 m and ascending to 3,200 m pre‑dawn.
Headlamp and spare batteries
The early-morning ascent starts around 4:00 AM; a reliable headlamp and spare batteries keep pace and footing safe.
Sturdy, broken‑in boots
Trail surfaces change from muddy rainforest to loose volcanic scree; ankle support and sticky soles reduce slip risk.
Protect against rain and sun
Bring a lightweight waterproof shell and sun protection — weather can flip between drizzle and bright sun in hours.
Insulated jacket
Night temperatures at camp commonly drop — a warm layer is essential for comfort and safety.
Sturdy hiking boots
Required for mixed terrain: muddy forest, pine needles and loose volcanic scree.
Headlamp with spare batteries
Necessary for the pre-dawn ascent and map reading at night.
Hydration system (2L+ bottle or bladder)
Easy access to water keeps you hydrated during sustained uphill sections and at altitude.
