Known as the most visually dramatic and unique pathway on Mount Rinjani, the Torean Trekking Route offers an unforgettable off-the-beaten-path adventure. Traditionally used by local Sasak pilgrims and porters, this route leads hikers through deep volcanic canyons, lush jungle gorges, steam-vent valleys, and along rushing mountain rivers directly to the shores of Segara Anak Lake.
Unlike the classic open savannahs of Sembalun or the high rainforest canopy of Senaru, the Torean trail feels like stepping into a prehistoric world. It follows a natural water-cut canyon with sheer mountain walls towering on both sides, revealing hidden waterfalls and tropical greenery around every turn.
Key highlights of trekking via Torean include:
Penimbungan Waterfall: A jaw-dropping, vertical waterfall plunging over 100 meters down a rugged volcanic cliff wall.
Dramatic River Canyons: Walk along narrow cliffside paths overlooking roaring mountain rivers, thermal steam vents, and lush gorge vegetation.
Direct Access to Segara Anak Lake: A spectacular low-altitude canyon entryway straight to the sacred crater lake and natural hot springs without crossing steep crater rim ascents.
At Rinjani Wonders, we combine the Torean trail with Rinjani’s finest highlights to create balanced and thrilling itineraries:
3 Days 2 Nights Segara Anak Lake (Torean – Senaru): Designed for adventurers who want to experience the wild canyon route up to Segara Anak Lake and natural hot springs, returning through the shaded tropical rainforest of Senaru.
