Sangkareang Peak

About Sangkareang Peak (3,200 MASL)
Mount Sangkareang is the second-highest peak within Mount Rinjani National Park, standing at an elevation of 3,200 meters above sea level. Accessed via the peaceful Tetebatu Village, this hidden gem is widely regarded as the ultimate natural “balcony” to experience the grandeur of Rinjani—offering all the breathtaking rewards of a high-altitude trek without the grueling journey to the main 3,726 MASL summit.

The Ultimate 360° Vantage Point
What sets Sangkareang apart is its unmatched panoramic viewpoint. From its summit, trekkers are treated to a single, extraordinary frame that captures four iconic landmarks simultaneously:

The vibrant turquoise waters of Segara Anak Lake shimmering like glass below.

The actively smoking crater cone of Mount Baru Jari.

The towering, majestic silhouette of the Rinjani Main Summit (3,726 MASL) directly ahead.

Pristine Nature & An Authentic Wilderness Experience
Unlike the heavily trafficked routes of Senaru and Sembalun, the Tetebatu trail to Sangkareang remains pristine, quiet, and untouched by mass tourism. The journey leads through dense, green rainforests filled with serene birdsong, fields of blooming edelweiss, and opportunities to spot Tetebatu’s sacred black monkeys. Without long queues or commercial stalls, it offers a pure and intimate connection with nature.

An Accessible High-Peak Adventure
Ascending from 750 MASL to 3,200 MASL, the trek presents a rewarding physical challenge while remaining significantly more manageable and beginner-friendly than the standard Rinjani summit push. Trekkers experience a crisp mountain climate (8°C – 12°C), magical crater rim sunsets, and an unforgettable sunrise above the clouds over East Lombok.

“To admire the beauty of the King, you don’t need to stand on his throne. You only need to stand on his balcony—and that balcony is Sangkareang.”
