Trekking Rinjani Trekking Club, next to the Bale Tajuk restaurant on Jl Raya Senggigi Km8
( 0370 693202, info2lombok.com ) is a reputable agent for Rinjani trekking packages,
and can also arrange much less strenuous hiking day-trips around Sapit (4-5hr; Rp1,800,000

ages, but it's worth checking current advice before signing up (see Planning a Rinjani trek ) .
ACCOMMODATION
CENTRAL SENGGIGI
In central Senggigi there's plenty happening, with restaurants, bars and tour agents on your
doorstep. The two sandy bays, to the north and south of the Senggigi Beach promontory, are
fine for swimming at all but the highest tides, though outside July, August and the Christmas
holidays you may find it's just you and the indefatigable pearl hawkers.
Central Inn Jl Raya Senggigi 0370 692006, centralhotel.senggigi@hotmail.com . The
Central Inn has neat, modern rooms with a/c, TVs and hot water in two low-rise buildings

Mascot Beach Resort Jl Pantai Senggigi 0370 693365, mascotbeachhotel.com . A cent-
ral but tranquil place with 26 cottage-style a/c and hot-water bungalows set around spacious
