Itinerary:
Day 1
After breakfast, we will transfer you to Sembalun Village in our special mountain vehicle. The journey to Sembalun Village takes approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, with an estimated arrival time of 8:00 AM. Upon arrival, we’ll register at the Rinjani Information Center (RIC) at 1,051 meters above sea level before starting our hike to Post 1 (Monitoring Post) at 1,300 meters, which takes about 2 hours.
At Post 1, we’ll take a short 5–10 minute break before continuing to Post 2 (Tengengean) at 1,500 meters, a journey of around 1 hour. After another quick 5–10 minute rest at Post 2, we’ll head to Post 3 (Pada Balong) at 1,800 meters, which will take roughly 1 hour.
At Post 3, we’ll rest for about 2 hours while our guide and porters prepare a delicious lunch along with hot drinks (tea, coffee, hot chocolate, or lemon tea). Once recharged, we’ll resume our trek to Sembalun Crater Rim (Pelawangan Sembalun) at 2,639 meters. This segment includes a challenging 3-hour climb but rewards you with breathtaking views.
We’ll camp overnight at Sembalun Crater Rim, where you can marvel at the stunning sunset and sunrise the following morning. From here, enjoy panoramic views of Segara Anak Lake, Sembalun Village, the summit of Mount Rinjani, and North Lombok.
Day 2
We’ll wake up early at 2:30 AM to prepare for the sunrise trek. After a light breakfast, we’ll begin our ascent to Mount Rinjani’s summit (3,672 meters) at 3:00 AM. The journey takes approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes.
The first stage involves a moderate 2-hour climb, followed by an easier yet lengthy second stage. The final hour is steep and challenging due to loose stones, where each step forward might mean sliding one step back. Upon reaching the summit, you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of Lombok Island, Bali, Mount Tambora in Sumbawa, and Segara Anak Lake.
After soaking in the sunrise, we’ll descend back to Sembalun Crater Rim for breakfast. Following a well-deserved rest, we’ll continue our descent to Sembalun Village, a 4–5 hour trek with a lunch break at either Post 2 or 3. We’ll arrive in Sembalun Village (1,150 meters) by noon, where our car will be waiting to take you to Senaru Village, concluding the trip.
