 Rinjani Mountain
National Park ( 3,726m )
There over 20 villages surround Mt. Rinjani and there are many
routes up the mountain, but the main access is from Senaru in the
north and Sembalun Lawang to the east. The challenging three-day
Rinjani Trek route from Senaru to the crater rim (Plawangan), down
to the stunning crater lake then on to Sembalun Lawang, is
considered one of the best treks in South East Asia. Those heading
for the summit usually prefer to start in Sembalun Lawang.
A model for ecotourism in Indonesia, the community-based
activities are focused on the Rinjani Trek Centre in Senaru, the
most popular starting point for the tough trek.
Developed with New Zealand Government assistance since 1999, the
Rinjani Trek Centre embodies under one roof (satu atap) the unique
partnership of the National Park, tourism industry and local
communities that has been forged to manage and protect the Rinjani
mountain environment.

WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE
Gunung Rinjani National Park lies within the major transition zone
(Wallacea) where the flora and fauna of South East Asia makes a
dramatic transition into that which is typical of Australasia. The
Park has a rich variety of plants and animals, although they can
be hard to spot due to the terrain and rainforest cover.
Sometimes seen early in the mornings is the rare black Ebony leaf
monkey, known locally as Lutung.
The Long tailed grey macaque or Kera is common in Lombok and older
males are seen on the crater rim.
Rusa deer are forest dwellers and are occasionally seen along the
Rinjani trek trail.
The smaller Barking deer or Kijang has an alarm call with a
distinct dog-like bark. Look for the disturbed ground where the
Wild pig or Babi hutan has been foraging. Also found in the forest
is the Leopard cat or Bodok alas, Palm civet or Ujat and Porcupine
or Landak.
A variety of colourful birds live in the forests of the Park.
Perhaps the best-known icon of the Park is the Sulphur Crested
Cockatoo that is not found any further west of Lombok.
Many of the forest-dwelling animals, insects, birds, civets and
monkeys owe their survival to the wild fig tree or Beringin as a
provider of food and shelter.
The pine-like Casuarina species, Cemara, are a feature of the
grassy higher slopes.
Orchids or Anggrek are also a feature of the grassland areas, as
is Edelweiss or Bunga Abadi growing above the tree line; it is a
beautiful icon of the Park and one of our best-known sub-alpine
plants. |
