Mount Rinjani: Revisiting Natural Panorama House of Goddess Anjani

The peak of Mount Rinjani Lombok is believed by the community as a purified, and its lake Segara Anak guarded by the goddess Anjani. We got to thinking, what makes Rinjani become so important that protected both by humans and gods? The answer is: panoramic masterpiece. Naturalness owned mountain into the main background scenery north of Lombok is indeed a very worthy to be maintained and enjoyed. By goddess Anjani and by us all.

Mount Rinjani has five routes climbing, each having a visual beauty and the degree of difficulty alone. Let us compare the two routes are the most widely bypassed by climbers: Senaru and service and routes Sembalun Lawang. Shaped route from Senaru village relentless climb. But along the way, we will be surrounded by green trees. When it passed the area of forestry and enter the area of the mountain peaks, look back and we'll see the expanse of trees that sway gently in the breeze. Although uphill, these are the Senaru closest to the top of Rinjani.

Sembalun Lawang is the most widely taken novice climbers because of its contours are more flat. This trip will take us navigate the vast sabana grasslands with forests of pine. We are more free to look Lombok from a height because not covered trees. The difficulty usually begin to be felt at the start climbing the mountain crater rim section Plawangan Sembalun, but this is actually a sign that we will soon be paid by the sight of the top of Rinjani. (mountaintop Plawangan Sembalun this leads to a shoulder of Mount Rinjani. To reach the top of Mount Rinjani, simply take the road straight for 3-4 hours.)

Momentum summit attack (3,726 meters above sea level) Rinjani is generally performed in the early hours so as to coincide with the rising sun. After seeing the sunrise, our eyes will return entertained when crater Segara Muncar gradually illuminated by the sun. As if every beauty presented with his timing alone.

But the beauty of the third highest mountain in Indonesia, it's not over (oh, far away from the ends). After we returned from the summit Sembalun, take the path to the right and we will get the biggest reward hikers Rinjani, lake Segara Anak.

From the above, Segara Anak looks resemble sea. Blue color once. Segara Anak spans an area of approximately 11,000,000 square meters. Water flows out of the lake as deep as 230 meters, forming a waterfall on a steep ravine. Sometimes, the smell of incense or flower offerings were laid by the Hindu community will be caught our nose, making the atmosphere became noticeably more spiritual.

If you can camp on the banks of the lake, once absorbed. Here hikers can fish carp and tilapia, and hot tubs. That said, the water of Lake Segara Anak containing sulfur can cure skin diseases, rheumatism and other ailments.

In 1944, the goddess Anjani seem to want to add something new in Segara Anak. Then, there was the eruption of the mountain gave birth to a new (or Barujari) on the edge of the lake. Mount Barujari which has an area of 34,000 sq m crater this could be an alternative for you who are still not satisfied, but was too tired to climb Rinjani. For the record, Barujari mountain erupted in 2009 and 2004. So, do not forget to find out the status of this mountain of the guards, yes.

And that certainly would not have been too far on the way "to conquer" Rinjani is the beauty of the lake Segara Anak.
