In the eyes of the locals, the mountain is a sacred place, the guardian of Lombok Island. Traditional ceremonies and religious rituals often fill the daily life on its slopes. Even the Sasak people, the original inhabitants of Lombok, build their houses facing Mount Rinjani as a form of respect.
Then, there is Segara Anak, a beautiful lake hidden in the crater of Mount Rinjani. Like a hidden gem, this lake presents a miracle with its bluish water color, similar to seawater. The surrounding scenery adds to the miracle and captivates anyone who sees it. Tourists, similar to those who are fascinated by Lake Ranu Kumbolo on Mount Semeru, do not hesitate to travel far just to enjoy the silence and beauty of Segara Anak.

Not just a mountain and a lake, the story of Mount Rinjani extends to its origin. The name Mount Rinjani, which may sound foreign to Lombok ears, actually comes from the Old Javanese language. In that language, "Rinjani" means "God", chosen from the story of a princess who meditated on this island.
