Senaru is a charming village nestled at the foot of Mount Rinjani, known as the gateway to some of Lombok’s most spectacular trekking adventures. Whether you’re planning to climb the mighty Rinjani or simply enjoy the natural beauty of the area, finding the right accommodation is an important part of your journey.
At Rinjani Dawn Adventures, we’ve made the decision not to include accommodation in the cost of our trekking packages. Many of our customers travel to Senaru from different parts of Lombok or even Indonesia, and preferences for accommodation can vary widely. By excluding accommodation, we can keep our trekking packages more affordable while giving you the flexibility to choose a stay that suits your budget and style.
That said, we’re happy to recommend some excellent places to stay in Senaru and the surrounding areas. Whether you’re looking for luxurious comfort, mid-range options, or budget-friendly stays, Senaru has something for everyone.
While many visitors come to Senaru as a starting point for their Mount Rinjani trek, the village itself is a destination worth exploring. Here are some of the highlights that make Senaru a must-visit spot:
The Senaru Waterfall Trail is one of the area’s most popular attractions, leading to the stunning Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfalls. These cascading waterfalls are surrounded by lush jungle, making them a perfect spot for nature lovers and photographers alike. The trail starts and finishes at Cafe Rinjani Dawn.
Step back in time with a visit to the Senaru Traditional Village. Here, you can experience the Sasak culture and see traditional architecture, weaving, and daily life that has remained largely unchanged for generations.
Senaru’s terraced rice fields are a sight to behold, offering sweeping views of vibrant green landscapes. These fields are not only beautiful but also provide insight into the agricultural traditions of the region.
