Mount Rinjani 2 Days 1 Night Summit

You will spend two days and one night trekking Mount Rinjani, starting from Sembalun Village to the Sembalun Crater Rim, continue to the summit, and return to Sembalun Village. This package also includes one night of accommodation in Senaru (total 3 days).
If you already have your own accommodation before the trek, you can choose the meeting point in either Senaru or Sembalun for the special 2-day summit program.

Overview

The trek begins in Sembalun Village at an altitude of 1,100 meters and ends in the same village. This route features wide landscapes, long trails, and warm temperatures when crossing the savanna. To reach the crater rim at 2,600 meters, you will need strong stamina as you must climb five steep and challenging hills.

On the second day, the journey continues to the summit at 3,726 meters. The climb starts at 2:00 a.m. to reach the peak at sunrise. Reaching the second-highest volcano in Indonesia is an unforgettable experience, and you’ll have time to capture the moment with photos.

Why the Summit Program Is the Best Option for Experienced Hikers

The 2D1N summit trek starts and ends in Sembalun Village. About 40% of trekkers choose this option. Completing this trek means conquering one of the most beautiful peaks in Indonesia. However, it is not recommended for beginners due to the intense physical effort required on the second day. The summit climb takes approximately 7 hours up and 4–6 hours back down to Sembalun Village.

If you’re too tired on the return, you can take a motorcycle from Post 2 to Sembalun. For beginners or unsure trekkers, we recommend the 2D1N Senaru Crater Rim program instead. From there, you can enjoy the blue lake view, sunrise over Mount Agung in Bali, and the scenery of the Gili Islands. This option is ideal for beginners, families, and honeymooners.

The Trek Includes:

  • 2 days and 1 night camping on the mountain
  • 1 night hotel accommodation before the trek
  • Local, professional, English-speaking guides
  • Porters for all camping gear, food, and drinks
  • Meals and drinking water during the trek
  • Welcome drink and dinner on arrival day
  • National Park fees and trekking insurance
  • Headlamps, trekking poles, chairs, and a mountain table
  • Free luggage storage
  • All transfers (pick-up and drop-off anywhere on Lombok Island)
  • Bonus visits to waterfalls and Senaru traditional village

This trek is challenging and requires good physical fitness and prior experience. It is suitable for travelers with limited time who want to reach the summit at 3,726 meters above sea level and camp on Mount Rinjani.

Pricing for 2 Days 1 Night Summit

Mount Rinjani, with an elevation of 3,726 meters, is Indonesia’s second-highest volcano. It lies on Lombok Island in West Nusa Tenggara. There are two official trekking entry points: Senaru Village and Sembalun Village. Our basecamp and office are located in Senaru, which means your trip is handled directly by a local organizer.

📍 Starting Point

We will pick you up from any location on Lombok Island, including:

  • Lombok Airport
  • Kuta Lombok
  • Bangsal
  • Senggigi
  • Selong Belanak
  • Sekotong
  • Other agreed locations

You’ll be taken to Senaru Village (our office) or another meeting point such as Senggigi, the Gilis, or Kuta, depending on the arrangement before trekking.

✅ End Point

Once the trek is finished, you will be dropped off at your next destination on Lombok, including the airport. We will meet you and give you directions before you depart from Senaru Village.

✈️ Getting to Lombok

You can enter and leave Lombok via Lombok International Airport, which serves as both the arrival and departure gateway.

From Bali to Lombok:

The most efficient route is by fast boat departing at 9:00 AM. You’ll arrive around 11:00 AM at Bangsal Port or Kodek Bay, and reach Senaru Village by approximately 12:30–13:00. This schedule allows you to enjoy the bonus trip we provide.
Taking the ferry is possible but slower (4–5 hours), plus a 3–4 hour drive from Lembar Port to Senaru.

If you choose to fly from Bali to Lombok, you will typically land around 11:25 AM, followed by a 3–4 hour drive to Senaru from the airport.

🕒 Best Time to Arrive

We highly suggest arriving one day before your trek, as all Rinjani trekking programs begin in the morning. Coming earlier gives you time to:

  • Rest and recover
  • Prepare equipment without rushing
  • Avoid trekking under the strong sun when crossing the savannah of Sembalun

Starting from Sembalun in the morning also helps minimize exposure to heat.

⚠️ Important Departure Note

When scheduling your outbound trip from Lombok after trekking, make sure the time aligns with your trek itinerary. This prevents issues like:

  • Rushing to the airport
  • Missing your flight
  • Unnecessary stress after the trek
