MOUNT
RINJANI
Tour Overview:
We will pick you up at Lombok International Airport or at other arrival points such as the
port or your hotel. After that, you will be dropped off at Sembalun Village, where your
accommodation is already arranged.
If you arrive in Sembalun in the afternoon or evening, you can spend your time
exploring the surrounding landscapes of Sembalun.
Before resting, you will receive a technical briefing to prepare for the trek. This is
important to ensure that all participants understand what is provided during the journey
to explore Mount Rinjani.
Tour Experience:
Activities: Wake up early, have breakfast at the hotel, and then our driver will pick you
up and head to the Rinjani National Park office for registration and check-in at the
Rinjani National Park Resort office in Sembalun. Next, you will be taken to the starting
point of the trek using a pickup truck.
Arriving at Post 2 around 10 AM, proceed to Post 3, where you'll have lunch. The
distance from the trek's starting point to Post III is 4.5 km. The trail is not too
challenging, passing through the savanna forest from an elevation of 1300 meters above
sea level to 1500 meters.
After lunch, continue the journey to the Sembalun Crater Rim. The trek from Post III to
the Crater Rim typically takes 2.5-3.5 hours. The path is steep and tiring but safe for
trekkers. This section is known as the Hill of Regret because it involves passing through
seven hill peaks, which can make every trekker curious about reaching the final peak.
The distance from Post III to the Crater Rim or camp area is only 1.5 km.
Arriving at the Crater Rim, you will be greeted with a view of Segara Anak Lake, the peak
of Mount Rinjani, and the Sembalun Valley. I guarantee that all your fatigue will vanish
instantly upon seeing this view. Regret will turn into joy and happiness. Porters will be
waiting for your arrival, ready to serve you with hot tea or coffee to quench your thirst
or warm you up in the cold weather that starts to envelop your body.
The porters will prepare a warm and hearty meal for you, or you can let them know if
you have any specific preferences. After dinner, rest early in preparation for the next
day's climb.
Day Two - Trekking Overview: Summit, Crater Lake Rim, Hot Springs.
Tour Experience:
Activities: Wake up at 1:30 AM, have breakfast with toast and hot beverages, and then
start the climb to the summit at 2 AM. It takes 2.5-5 hours to reach the summit from the
camp.
The journey to the summit is the most challenging part of exploring Mount Rinjani. The
terrain is quite steep and slippery due to sand in the first hour. Afterward, the trail
becomes less steep but longer. About 45 minutes before reaching the summit, you'll
encounter the most challenging section, dominated by sand and gravel, making
progress slow. Here, you will experience the frustration of taking two steps forward and
one step back due to the slipperiness. However, the path is wide enough to ensure
safety.
Upon reaching the summit of Mount Rinjani at 3,726 meters above sea level, all
tiredness will vanish, leaving only awe at the natural beauty from such a height.
After taking photos and capturing your moments, descend to the Sembalun Crater Rim
(camp area). The descent is faster, but caution and safety should still be a priority. It
takes 1.5 hours to cover a distance of 3.5 km.
Upon reaching the camp area, your breakfast will be ready. You may feel very tired due
to insufficient sleep and the extremely challenging trek. There isn't much time for rest as
you need to continue your journey to the lake.
From the Crater Rim to Danau Segara Anak, the distance is 3.5 km, and it takes 2.5-3.5
hours to reach it. Lunch will be served upon arrival at the lake. Tents will be set up in the
Danau Segara Anak area, and apart from enjoying the lake's view, you can also visit the
nearby hot springs.
Dinner by the quiet lake of Danau Segara Anak will surely be a memorable experience,
followed by rest. Make sure to sleep early because the next day, you will continue your
journey to Torean Village.
Day Three - Trekking Overview: Sembalun Crater Rim and Danau Segara Anak.
Tour Experience:
Duration: 5 hours.

Torean Village.
During the journey, you'll witness breathtaking landscapes, including mountain valleys,
rivers, and rainforests.
The trail is relatively easy, dominated by downhill slopes and flat terrain, but the
distance is quite long. This part of the trek is suitable for the return journey when you
are positioned at Danau Segara Anak.
You will stay at the Barisan Nangka campsite in the middle of the rainforest.
