On the day you arrive in Lombok, our team will pick you up from Lombok International Airport or other major arrival points, including Lembar Harbor, Bangsal Harbor, Teluk Kodek, Senggigi, Kuta Lombok, or the Gili Islands.

Before the trek begins, your guide will conduct a detailed briefing covering the trekking route, safety procedures, preparation, and important information about the journey.
🌿 Optional Waterfall Visit
If you arrive approximately one hour before sunset, you may have the opportunity to visit the beautiful Sindang Gile and Tiu Kelep Waterfalls in Senaru.
Although it is possible to arrive in Lombok on the same day as the trek, we strongly recommend arriving one day before the trekking program and staying overnight in Senaru. This gives you enough time to rest and helps avoid possible delays on trekking day.
Overnight: Hotel in Senaru.
Day 1 – Sembalun Village to Sembalun Crater Rim
Senaru Village → Sembalun Village (1,150 m) → Sembalun Crater Rim (2,639 m)
Start your day with breakfast at the hotel before traveling from Senaru to Sembalun Village. The journey takes approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour by vehicle.
Upon arrival at the Rinjani Information Center, you will complete the registration process before beginning the trek.
The trekking route starts from the Sembalun area and continues through the open savanna toward several trekking posts.
You will pass through:

After lunch and a period of rest, continue the climb toward Pelawangan Sembalun / Sembalun Crater Rim. The final section is a long and steep ascent that requires good stamina.
⛰️ Overnight at Sembalun Crater Rim
Your porters will prepare the tents before you arrive at the campsite. Once you reach the crater rim, take time to rest and enjoy the spectacular surroundings.
From Sembalun Crater Rim, you can enjoy panoramic views of Mount Rinjani, Segara Anak Lake, Sembalun Village, and northern Lombok.
Weather permitting, the sunset from the crater rim offers an incredible view and is a memorable highlight before the summit climb.

Day 2 – Rinjani Summit to Sembalun Village
Sembalun Crater Rim (2,639 m) → Rinjani Summit (3,726 m) → Sembalun Village (1,150 m) → Next Destination

You will wake up at approximately 2:30 AM and receive a light energy breakfast before preparing for the summit ascent.
At around 3:00 AM, begin your climb toward the Mount Rinjani Summit at 3,726 meters.
The ascent takes approximately 3 hours and 20 minutes. The first section is a moderate climb, followed by a longer section before reaching the final and steepest part of the trail.
The final section consists of loose volcanic gravel and rocks, making the ascent physically demanding.
🥾 Summit Trekking Tip

After reaching the summit, enjoy the spectacular views across Lombok Island, Bali Island, Sumbawa Island, and Segara Anak Lake.
If weather conditions are clear, the sunrise from Mount Rinjani Summit is one of the most unforgettable experiences of the entire journey.
After enjoying the summit, descend back to the Sembalun Crater Rim for breakfast and some time to rest.
You will then continue your descent toward Sembalun Village. Lunch will be prepared along the route, around Pos 3 or Pos 2 depending on trekking conditions.
