Arrival Day:
We will pick you up at Lombok airport or any location around Lombok and transfer you to your hotel in Senaru. Here, you will meet your Mount Rinjani trekking guide, who will provide you with the necessary information and guidance to help you prepare for the journey ahead.
Day 1:
Wake-up call at 6:00 AM for breakfast. Afterward, we will drive you to the village of Sembalun (1,100 m) and proceed with check-in at the Rinjani National Park office.
The trek begins from Sembalun village around 8:00 AM. We start with a gentle ascent through an open meadow. After approximately 2 hours of walking, we will reach Post 1 (1,300 m), and then continue for another 40 minutes to reach Post 2 (1,500 m). Our journey continues to Post 3 (1,800 m) where we will stop for lunch.
After resting and having lunch, we will continue the trek to the Sembalun crater rim (2,639 m), which will take around 3 hours, including some steep climbing. We will camp overnight at the crater rim, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of both the sunset and sunrise.
Day 2:
At around 2:00 AM, we will wake you up with a hot drink and a light breakfast before starting the ascent to the summit of Mount Rinjani at 3:00 AM. The trek begins moderately but becomes steeper toward the summit, with some loose volcanic scree.
At approximately 6:00 AM, we will reach the summit (3,726 m), where you can enjoy a stunning sunrise and panoramic views of Lombok Island, Bali, Sumbawa, and Segara Anak Lake. After spending some time at the summit, we will descend to the Sembalun crater rim for breakfast.
After breakfast, we will continue descending for about 3 hours to reach Segara Anak Lake. Here, you can relax by the lakeside, swim, or enjoy the natural hot springs, known for their therapeutic properties. Meanwhile, our porters will prepare lunch for you.
Following lunch, we will leave the lake and trek up to the Senaru crater rim (2,641 m), our campsite for the second night. The Senaru crater rim offers one of the most spectacular views, including an unforgettable sunset over Mount Agung in Bali and the smoke from the new volcano near the lake.
Day 3:
After enjoying a sunrise breakfast, we will begin our descent to Senaru village through the tropical rainforest. If lucky, we might spot rare black monkeys along the way. The descent will take approximately 5 hours, with a stop for lunch along the route. Upon arrival at Senaru village (601 m), you will be transported to your next destination.
