Mount Rinjani Trekking Overview

This trek begins in Sembalun Village, located at an altitude of 1,100 meters, and takes you through the scenic landscapes of the area. The route is a bit long and can be quite warm, especially as you cross the meadows. To reach the edge of the crater at 2,600 meters, you’ll need plenty of stamina as you’ll be climbing five steep hills that offer a challenging ascent.

On the second day, you’ll tackle the final stretch to reach the summit of Mount Rinjani, standing at 3,726 meters. The trek starts early, at 3 a.m., to ensure you reach the top in time to witness the stunning sunrise from the summit.

Along the way, you’ll also have the opportunity to visit the beautiful crater lake and enjoy a relaxing dip in the hot springs. You’ll camp at the second crater rim, which offers breathtaking views, making for an unforgettable experience. On the last day, the descent through the tropical rainforest completes your Rinjani adventure.

This journey is not only physically rewarding, but it also offers the chance to conquer Indonesia’s second-highest mountain. You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to capture incredible moments with photographs along the way.

The Rinjani trekking experience lasts 3 days and 2 nights, starting from Sembalun Village, hiking to the Sembalun Crater Rim, summiting, visiting the lake, and finally descending to Senaru Village.
