Upon arrival, you will meet our staff to complete your registration and receive a short briefing. If time permits, you can visit Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep Waterfalls. Please note that while you can arrive on the same day as the trek, we recommend arriving the day before to avoid delays.

Day 1: Trekking through Grasslands

Our guide will pick you up from your hotel lobby at 6:30 AM and transfer you to the Rinjani Information Center in Sembalun Lawang Village (1,156 meters). After registering and arranging National Park entry tickets, the trek will begin with a gentle ascent through grasslands used by local farmers for cattle grazing. We will stop for a rest at Pos 1 Pemantauan (1,300 meters), and after about three hours, reach Pos 2 Tengengean (1,500 meters), where we can enjoy beautiful views of Mount Rinjani’s summit.

Day 2: Climbing the Summit

At 2:30 AM, after a light breakfast, we will begin the three-hour climb to the summit of Mount Rinjani (3,726 meters). Upon reaching the summit, we can enjoy the amazing sunrise views stretching across the Wallace Line to Bali, Mt. Agung, and Sumbawa. After descending back to the Sembalun Crater Rim, we will have breakfast and then head down to Lake Segara Anak (2,000 meters) within the crater. After a lunch break by the lake and some time relaxing or exploring the nearby caves and hot springs, we will ascend for two and a half hours to the Senaru Crater Rim (2,641 meters), where we will camp for the night.
