• After lunch, you’ll leave the lake area and begin the steep climb to Plawangan Senaru Crater Rim.
• The trail begins gently along the lake’s edge but quickly turns into a demanding uphill path with rocky, uneven surfaces.
• This section is known for its steep gradients, exposed ledges, and several narrow cliffside sections that require extra caution.

• Your Green Rinjani guide will assist you closely, ensuring that you maintain a safe, steady pace with rest stops every 30–45 minutes.
• Some areas are narrow and slightly exposed to the open crater wall, so guests are advised to stay alert and follow their guide’s instructions carefully.
