Rinjani Summit Trek – 2 Days 1 Night

Chapter I – The Ascent Through Sembalun Savanna

The journey begins at Sembalun village, where the trail gradually ascends through open savanna landscapes.

As you hike across wide grassy hills with Mount Rinjani towering ahead, the path steadily climbs toward the crater rim. Along the way, you will take breaks, enjoy the scenery, and experience the changing landscape as you gain elevation.

By late afternoon, you arrive at the Sembalun crater rim, where you will camp for the night while enjoying sunset views over the surrounding mountains.

Chapter II – Night Under the Stars

At the crater rim campsite, the evening is spent resting and preparing for the summit push.

As darkness falls, the sky reveals countless stars above the mountain. Your guide will brief you for the early morning ascent before you rest for a few hours.

Chapter III – The Summit Push

Around midnight, the summit climb begins.

With headlamps lighting the trail, you hike steadily upward toward the peak. The final section is steep and challenging, but as you reach the summit (3,726 m), you are rewarded with a breathtaking sunrise view over Lombok, Bali, and the surrounding islands.

This is the highlight of the entire journey.

Chapter IV – Descent to Sembalun

After enjoying the summit, the descent begins back toward the crater rim campsite for breakfast before continuing down to Sembalun village.

The return journey offers a different perspective of the landscape, completing a full trekking experience of Mount Rinjani.
