Itinerary: Mount Rinjani Trek Summit & Lake 3 days 2 nights

Arrival day: We’ll pick you up at Lombok airport or another location on Lombok Island and transfer you to the hotel in Senaru

Day 1 Hiking: Breakfast is at 7:15 a.m and transfer to Sembalun. Thereafter, we will walk to register at the Rinjani Information Center in Sembalun.
Trekking starts in the village of Sembalun around 8:00 a.m. We start with a gentle climb through an open meadow. After about 2 hours of walking, we will reach post 1 (1300 m) and another 40 minutes to post 2 (1500 m). We will proceed to Pos 3 (1800 m) and have lunch here.

After lunch and rest, we will go to the Sembalun crater rim (2639 m). It takes 3 hours, including a prolonged, steep climb. We will camp for the night on the crater rim. Views of the sunrise and sunset are available for us to enjoy.

Day 2 Hiking: We wake up around 2:00 a.m. with a hot drink and a light breakfast under the cover of darkness. We will start heading to the summit of Rinjani at 3:00 a.m. We begin with a moderate trek, followed by a fairly straightforward but longer one. The final approach involves climbing steep volcanic screes.

At 6:00 a.m., we can reach the summit (3726 m) with a beautiful sunrise and a panoramic view of Lombok Island, the island of Bali, the island of Sumbawa, and Segara Anak Lake.

Thereafter, we will descend into the crater rim of Sembalun within 2 hours and have breakfast here. Then we’ll continue to descend to Segara Anak Lake for 3 hours.

We stop at the lake’s side to rest. Here, we can enjoy the view and swim in the lake. A bath in hot water can soothe your travel aches and pains, and it is widely known for its natural healing powers. Our porters will prepare lunch for us. After lunch, we will leave the lake and go up to the Senaru crater rim (2641 m). Our campsite for the night, Senaru Crater Rim, has the most spectacular view. We will enjoy an incredible sunset over Mount Agung in Bali, as well as the smoke from the new volcano on the lake’s edge.

Day 3 Hiking:
After breakfast with a beautiful sunrise, we will leave Mount Rinjani and descend to Senaru village through the rainforest. If we are lucky, we can see the rare black monkey. It takes 5 hours, and we will take lunch along the way. When you arrive at Senaru village (601 m), the car will take you to your next destination.
