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.
