Day 1: Sembalun Village to Sembalun Crater Rim

  • Walking Duration: 7 – 8 hours

  • Distance: ~9 km

  • Elevation Gain: 1,483 m (1,156 m to 2,639 m)

After an early breakfast at your hotel in Senaru (around 6:30 AM), we will drive you to Sembalun Village (approx. 1 hour). We will register at the Rinjani Trekking Centre (RTC) before beginning our hike. The trail starts with a gentle walk through expansive, open grasslands. We will pass Pos 1 (Pemantauan – 1,300 m) and Pos 2 (Tengengean – 1,500 m) before stopping for a freshly cooked hot lunch at Pos 3 (Pada Balong – 1,800 m). After lunch, the real challenge begins. We face a steep, continuous 3-hour climb up the famous “Bukit Penyesalan” (Hills of Regret) through the pine forest. By late afternoon, we will arrive at the Sembalun Crater Rim (Pelawangan Sembalun – 2,639 m). Here, our porters will have your tents set up. Enjoy a spectacular sunset overlooking Segara Anak Lake and the summit before having a hearty dinner and resting early for the summit push.

Day 2: Summit Push and Descent to Sembalun

  • Walking Duration: 10 – 12 hours

  • Distance: ~15 km

  • Elevation Gain/Loss: +1,087 m (to Summit) / -2,570 m (descent to Sembalun)

We wake you up at 2:00 AM with a light breakfast and hot drinks to fuel your summit attack. At 2:30 AM, with headlamps on, we begin the grueling 3 to 4-hour climb to the Summit of Mount Rinjani (3,726 m). The terrain is a steep mix of loose volcanic sand and gravel. Reaching the peak just in time for sunrise (around 6:00 AM) is a moment you will never forget. Enjoy panoramic views of the entire island, the majestic crater lake below, and Mount Agung in Bali on the horizon. After taking photos, we will carefully descend back to the Sembalun Crater Rim (approx. 2 hours). A well-deserved, massive breakfast will be waiting for you. After packing up the camp, we begin the long descent back down the same trail to Sembalun Village (approx. 5 to 6 hours). We will stop for lunch along the way. Upon arriving at Sembalun Village in the mid-to-late afternoon, our transport will be waiting to drop you off at your next destination in Lombok.
