Detailed Itinerary

Arrival Day: Welcome to Senaru

Upon your arrival at Lombok International Airport, Bangsal Harbor, Senggigi, or any other location in Lombok, the Rudy Trekker team will pick you up and transfer you to our headquarters in Senaru.
  • Check into your comfortable pre-trek accommodation.
  • Meet your experienced mountain guide for a thorough briefing on the route, safety procedures, and an equipment check.
  • Enjoy the evening resting or exploring the nearby Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfalls to warm up your legs.

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, we will drive you to Sembalun Village (approx. 1 hour). We will register at the Rinjani Trekking Centre (RTC) and officially begin our trek.
The first part of the hike takes you through the beautiful, open Sembalun savannah. We will pass Pos 1 (1,300 m) and Pos 2 (1,500 m) before stopping for a freshly cooked hot lunch at Pos 3 (Pada Balong – 1,800 m).
After lunch, we tackle the steep “Bukit Penyesalan” (Hills of Regret) through the pine forests. By late afternoon, we will arrive at our first campsite: the Sembalun Crater Rim (Pelawangan Sembalun – 2,639 m). Enjoy an incredible sunset overlooking the lake, followed by dinner and early rest.

Day 2: The Summit and Descent to Segara Anak Lake

  • Walking Duration: 7 – 9 hours
  • Distance: ~8 km
  • Elevation: +1,087 m (to Summit) / -1,718 m (down to the Lake)
We wake you up at 2:00 AM with a light breakfast and hot drinks. At 2:30 AM, we begin the demanding 3 to 4-hour climb to the Summit of Mount Rinjani (3,726 m). Walking on steep, loose volcanic gravel in the dark is tough, but reaching the peak for sunrise is the ultimate reward. You will enjoy 360-degree views of Lombok, Bali, and Sumbawa.
We will then carefully descend back to the Sembalun Crater Rim (about 2 hours) for a massive, well-deserved second breakfast.
After packing up camp, we begin a steep 2 to 3-hour descent into the caldera to reach Segara Anak Lake (2,008 m). This is your campsite for the second night. After a hot lunch, spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing and swimming in the natural volcanic hot springs just minutes from the camp.

Day 3: Segara Anak Lake to Senaru Crater Rim

  • Walking Duration: 3 – 4 hours
  • Distance: ~3 km
  • Elevation Gain: 633 m (2,008 m to 2,641 m)
Today is a half-day of trekking, designed for maximum relaxation and enjoyment. Wake up late and enjoy a peaceful breakfast by the edge of the turquoise crater lake. You have the morning free to explore the lake shore, visit the hot springs again, or watch the locals fishing.
After an early lunch, we pack up and begin a steep 2.5 to 3-hour climb up the western wall of the caldera to reach our final campsite: the Senaru Crater Rim (2,641 m).
This campsite offers arguably the most spectacular views on the mountain. You will watch the sun set over Bali’s Mount Agung, casting golden light over Segara Anak Lake and the smoking cone of Mount Baru Jari right below you.

Day 4: Senaru Crater Rim to Senaru Village

  • Walking Duration: 5 – 6 hours
  • Distance: ~12 km
  • Elevation Loss: -2,040 m (2,641 m down to 601 m)
Wake up to a beautiful sunrise over the Rinjani summit from the Senaru side. After a hearty breakfast, we begin our descent back to civilization.
The trail down to Senaru Village leaves the rocky crater rim and quickly enters the thick, shaded canopy of the tropical rainforest. It is a long descent, but the shade of the ancient trees makes it a very pleasant walk. We will stop for a final lunch on the mountain at Pos 2 or Pos 1.
You will arrive back at the Rudy Trekker office in Senaru around 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. After collecting your stored luggage, our private transport will transfer you to your next destination in Lombok.
