A very beautiful view of Lake Segara Anak can be seen from the area called Plawangan. Like a drug, however tired person, if they are Plawangan Senaru and see the beauty of the Lake Segara Anak as the grace of god, all feeling tired and weary as if forgotten.
Senaru route starts from the RTC (Rinjani Trek Center) in the Village Senaru. It passes through three main headings resort, ie post 1 to post 3. After that, until the Plawangan Senaru, next to Lake Segara Anak and then toward the summit of Mount Rinjani. But usually the visitors who use this route just to reach the Lake Segara Anak.

Route is a gateway Sembalun mace, Heading 1 Monitoring, Tengengean Post 2, Post 3 Padabalong, and Plawangan Sembalun. The line was to spend time 90-10 hours. The line was very dramatic and impressive. Trail tour that you went through a savanna and back winding mountain with a cliff on the left and right channels.

Compared Senaru lane, climbing lane is not too steep. But because it is dominated by savannas, making your journey bathed in sweat by the hot sun that stung. Since the RIC (Rinjani Information Center) to post three Padabalong, a climbing lane savannas. Climbing felt enough "bite" started from post 3 to Plawangan, because it must pass through the hill called "Hill of Torture" by several groups of nature lovers.
