So that the richness and biodiversity can be sustainable and harmonious with the surrounding human communities.The government's decision to promote ecotourism in Indonesia is an appropriate step. This is based on the fact that the base strength of Indonesia's tourism lies in the grace of the natural wealth that stretches from Sabang to Merauke.By having 129 or 13% of the volcano volcanoes in the world, the prospects for tourism development in Indonesia could say bright. Unfortunately, few volcanic areas that are managed ecotourism that generate foreign exchange. More abandoned and badly damaged by mismanagement and illegal logging.One of the volcanoes in Indonesia are famous all over the world are Rinjani. Every year, there were thousands of foreign and domestic tourists up the mountain altitude 3726 m asl (above sea level) is. Inevitably, Gunung Rinjani is the target of wild adventure lovers.Located in the northern land of Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Gunung Rinjani is the third highest volcano in Indonesia. Peak height is only defeated by the Jayawijaya Mountains in Papua and Mount Kerinci in the land of Sumatra.There are several hiking trails that are often used to climb Mount Rinjani.

Usually the mountains in Java presents more homogeneous and heterogeneous forests.Climate along the dusty badlands of the stinging makes stamina quickly depleted. Only in some places a thick thatch lay rumut as delicious food for the oxen shepherd. In certain places there is a special post that can be used with a spring camping and emergency toilet.After the savannas, the trip was getting heavier. Steep incline with a gaping chasm between the hedges began attending in heterogeneous forests. Mount Rinjani can be said to be safe from the threat of wild animals. Birds, monkeys and chickens hanging from the forest that is often found in the woods.After traveling about 7 hours, arrived at pelawangan (mountain ridge) Sembalun Lawang. Locations covered mountain pine (Casuarina junghuniana) is the last climb before heading to the summit.Pelawangan Sembalun Lawang is located right on the slopes of Lake Segara Anakan buffer. As a result, while resting, hikers can see exoticism as much a giant lake formed by volcanic eruption of Mount Rinjani.Unfortunately the weather at this altitude is very volatile. The attacks can come suddenly fled the cold weather to replace the summer heat. Quite often even a hurricane could rip the tent fly. However, the charm of a sunrise and sunset an unforgettable moment of a lifetime.Then there are two options: to continue the adventure to the summit or directly down to Lake Segara Anakan. Field trip to the top heavy and quite dangerous. Deserts, craters, and that seemed bottomless abyss, will force berpacunya adrenalin during the 3-5 hour drive.While the trip to Lake Segara Anakan no less thrilling. The climber must be nimble down the rocky slope with a slope ranging from 40-80 degrees. Noteworthy is the risk of life-threatening rock debris climbers.Lake Segara AnakanFor the Sasak tribe, Lake Segara Anakan is considered a sacred place that must be maintained her purity. Green and blue lakes, it is also used as a place of pilgrimage and worship of Hindus, Muslims Wettu Barbadensis (Hindu-Muslim syncretism) as well as the belief in one supreme God.So do not be surprised, if the smell of incense or flower offerings found around the lake.

Believe it or not, in fact, this condition causes the growth of cultural wisdom to preserve the environment and avoid the exploitation of natural resources.Despite all this, the climbers will feel spoiled nature. To relax tense muscles, we can soak in some hot water all day natural sulfur pools. Although the spectacle of dozens of wild monkeys used as a saber-toothed.The most exciting, of course burn the fish in the lake. Carp, tilapia and large-sized harper who flourished in the lake. When not fishing or are definitely not experts, we could buy fish from local fishermen who often appeared in the holiday season.Across the lake looks dune sand dunes that are issued white smoke into the sky. People call it the New Mount. Not much information on the dunes are still active
