toast) . We will start climbing towards the summit of Rinjani at 3:00 am. The beginning of the

ascent of the route is quite heavy because is sandy and uphill, then after arriving at the peak of

the trail, it is continued with a fairly easy but longer journey, one hour before reaching the top

the path is sandy so it requires patience and strong determination to continue the journey. the

sandy path makes the footsteps feel heavy plus the energy is drained because it has been

walking for 2 hours from the campsite.

At 6:00 am We will reach the top (3726 m) with a beautiful sunrise, and amazing views of

Lombok island, Bali island, Sumbawa island and Segara Anak lake.

After being satisfied with taking pictures by capturing amazing natural portraits, we will go
