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.

Rinjani Summit Sunrise

Begin the summit ascent in the early hours before sunrise. The trail becomes increasingly steep as you approach the summit, with loose volcanic sand and challenging terrain requiring a steady pace.

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.

Return to the campsite, enjoy a well-earned meal and spend the remainder of the day resting at the crater rim.

Descent to Sembalun Village

Wake up at the crater rim and enjoy breakfast while taking in the mountain scenery. After packing the camping equipment, begin the descent towards Sembalun Village.

Follow the mountain trail through the changing landscape of the Sembalun side of Mount Rinjani. The descent is generally easier than the summit climb but still requires care on uneven terrain.

Arrive at Sembalun Village and complete the trekking program. From here, continue with your onward transfer to your next destination in Lombok.

A Physically Demanding Adventure

Mount Rinjani trekking requires good physical fitness and proper preparation. The summit section involves steep terrain, loose volcanic sand, cold temperatures and an early-morning start.

Weather and volcanic conditions can affect the trekking route. The local trekking team may adjust the itinerary when necessary for safety reasons.
