Unfortunately, few volcanic areas managed ecotourism generating foreign exchange. More abandoned and badly damaged due to mismanagement and illegal logging.
One of the volcanoes in Indonesia, which is famous all over the world are Rinjani. Every year, there are thousands of foreign and domestic tourists up the mountain altitude 3726 m asl (above sea level) is. Inevitably, Mount Rinjani be sought after wild adventure lovers.

Climbing terrain

Dusty barren land with a stinging climate makes stamina quickly depleted. Only in some places lies the dense reeds rumut as delicious food for the oxen shepherd. In certain places there is a special post that can be used with a spring camping and emergency toilet. After savannas, field trip was getting heavier. Steep hill to start yawning chasm exists between heterogeneous forest hedge. Mount Rinjani can be said safely from the threat of wild animals. Birds, monkeys and chickens hanging woods that are often encountered in the woods.
After traveling about 7 hours, arrived at pelawangan (mountain ridge) Sembalun Lawang. What is overgrown with mountain pine (Casuarina junghuniana) is heading towards the final climb before the summit. Pelawangan Sembalun Lawang is located right on the slopes of Lake Segara Anakan buffer. As a result, while resting, climbers can watch unlimited exotic giant lake formed by volcanic eruption of Mount Rinjani.
Unfortunately the weather at this altitude is very volatile. Attacks can come suddenly blurred cold weather replaces the summer heat. Quite often winds capable of ripping even fly tent. However, the charm of sunrise and sunset becomes an unforgettable moment for life.
So there are two options: continue the adventure to the top of or directly down to the lake Segara Anakan. Field trip to the top heavy and quite dangerous. Deserts, craters, and seemingly bottomless abyss, will force berpacunya adrenaline for 3-5 hour drive. While field trips to Lake Segara Anakan no less thrilling.

Although dozens of wild monkey sex shows are toothed. The most fun, of course, burn the fish in the lake. Carp, tilapia and large-sized harper thrived in this lake.
