Rinjani trek to the Summit (recommended for experts)

For your convenience and security, when you arrive to Lombok Island we will pick you up from the airport, harbours and tourist attractions such as in mataram, senggigi, kuta and others. We will then take you to our office in senaru village so you can register and we can take care of other matters such as payment, directions and your preparation for the trek on the next day. We will then drive you to your hotel room in Senaru which we will arrange for you.

You can visit and enjoy the view of popular and amazing “Sindang Gile ” and “Tiu Kelep ” waterfalls if you arrive in Senaru Village at noon.

We will wake up in the morning, have breakfast, and then we will pack all our stuff. Our mountain car will take you to the start point in Sembalun. We will register at the Rinjani Information Centre in Sembalun (1,156 m) before the trek. The trail initially takes us through undulating, open grasslands, as we get deeper into the mountain. We stop at Pos 1 and Pos 2, pausing for rest breaks and snacks. At Pos 3 (1,800 m) we will make a longer break to have lunch. After lunch we will begin the steep climb up to the crater rim. We will camp at Sembalun Crater Rim (2,639 m), where we will have amazing views of the sunset, Lake Segara Anak, the summit of Mount Rinjani and Northern Lombok.

We will wake up at 2 am for a light breakfast before we start the challenging three hour trek to the summit (3,726 m). We will arrive in time to see the sunrise, the best time to enjoy the spectacular views. We will then return to our campsite next to the crater rim. There we will stop for a hot breakfast and a short rest before we begin our way down to Sembalun. We will stop for lunch at Pos 2 or 3. We will arrive in Sembalun in the early afternoon, from where you will be driven to your next destination.
