Hello Amazing People!!!
Now I want to tell you another amazing things in Lombok,
This is Rinjani Mountain yeayyyy
Okay guys
>>Check it Out<<
The mighty Rinjani mountain of Gunung Rinjani is a massive volcano
which towers over the island of Lombok. A climb to the top is one of the most
exhilarating experiences you can have in Indonesia. At 3,726 meters tall,
Gunung Rinjani is the second highest mountain in Indonesia. The climb to the
top may not be easy but it’s worth it, and
is widely regarded as one of the best views in the country.
Part of the famous ‘ring of fire’ this mountain also holds spiritual significance for the
local people. It’s thought that
the name Rinjani comes from an old Javanese term for ‘God’.
Around the slopes of Rinjani there are lush forests sprinkled with
waterfalls and surrounded by stunning senery.
Within the mountain is a crescent shaped lake, the breathtaking
Segara Anak which is about 6km across at its widest point. This lake of sulfur
is located 600 meters below the crater rim. Rising from the waters of this lake
is a new volcano, Mt. Baru, which is a result of a series of eruptions during
the 1990’s. Segara Anak is a spiritual place.
The Balinese come here each year and perform a ceremony called pekelan where
jewelry is placed in the lake as an offering to the mountain spirit. The Wetu
Telu people also regard the lake as holy and come here to pray on full moon
nights.
