Itinerary
Rinjani Trekking 3D/2N
A challenging three-day trek through the Sembalun route of Mount Rinjani, combining mountain landscapes, crater-rim camping and a sunrise summit experience.
Trek to Sembalun Crater Rim
Your Rinjani adventure begins with a transfer towards Sembalun Village, the starting point of the trek. After registration, preparation and a short briefing with your trekking team, begin hiking into Mount Rinjani National Park.
The trail initially crosses open grassland and savannah before gradually becoming steeper as you approach the higher sections of the mountain. Take regular breaks along the way while enjoying increasingly wide views across Lombok.
Continue towards the Sembalun Crater Rim, where the trekking team prepares the campsite. Enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery and sunset before dinner and an overnight stay at the crater rim.

Continue towards the summit of Mount Rinjani and arrive in time to experience sunrise, weather and visibility permitting. From the summit, enjoy panoramic views across Lombok and the surrounding volcanic landscape.
After spending time at the summit, begin the descent back towards the crater rim. The descent over loose volcanic terrain can be physically demanding, so take your time and follow the guide's instructions.
