Experience the best of Mount Rinjani with our 3 Days 2 Nights Rinjani Summit Trek from Sembalun to Senaru.
This itinerary is designed for travelers who want to climb the famous Mount Rinjani Summit at 3,726 meters, enjoy the spectacular volcanic landscape, and finish the trek on the northern side of the mountain in Senaru Village.
Starting from Sembalun, the trek takes you through the open savannah, to the crater rim and Mount Rinjani Summit, before continuing through the dramatic caldera landscape toward Segara Anak Lake and the Senaru route.
Compared with a short 2D1N summit trek, this 3D2N Rinjani trekking package provides more time to enjoy the mountain, rest between demanding sections, and experience more of Rinjani’s natural scenery.
The journey ends in Senaru Village, making this route an excellent option for travelers who want to explore Mount Rinjani from two different sides.

3 Days 2 Nights Rinjani Summit Trek Itinerary
Day 1 – Sembalun Village to Sembalun Crater Rim
Your adventure begins in Sembalun Village, on the eastern side of Mount Rinjani.
After registration and trekking preparations, you will begin walking through the spectacular Sembalun savannah.
The trail gradually gains elevation as you pass through open grasslands and several trekking checkpoints.
Along the way, you will have time to rest and enjoy lunch while taking in the views of the surrounding hills and volcanic landscape.
The trail becomes increasingly steep as you approach the Sembalun Crater Rim.
After completing the final ascent, you will reach the campsite and enjoy panoramic views of the Rinjani caldera and surrounding landscape.
Our porters will prepare your tent and dinner while you rest after the day’s trek.
Meals: Lunch and Dinner
Accommodation: Camping at Sembalun Crater Rim
Day 2 – Crater Rim to Mount Rinjani Summit and Segara Anak Area
The second day begins early as you continue your journey toward the Mount Rinjani Summit.
Depending on the final trekking schedule and conditions, the summit ascent can be arranged during the early morning to reach the summit around sunrise.
The final climb is one of the most challenging sections of the Rinjani trek. The trail is steep and covered with loose volcanic sand, requiring patience and a steady pace.
At approximately 3,726 meters above sea level, the summit offers spectacular panoramic views across Lombok, Bali, Sumbawa, and the surrounding volcanic landscape.
After enjoying the summit, you will descend back toward the crater rim before continuing toward the Segara Anak Lake area.
The descent offers dramatic views of the volcanic caldera and Mount Barujari.
After reaching the camping area, enjoy dinner and rest for the final day of trekking.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Accommodation: Camping
Day 3 – Segara Anak Area to Senaru Village
After breakfast, continue your journey from the Segara Anak area toward the Senaru trekking route.
The trail gradually climbs away from the lake before reaching the Senaru Crater Rim.
From the crater rim, you can enjoy one of the most impressive views of Mount Rinjani, including Segara Anak Lake and the surrounding volcanic landscape.
After taking a break, continue descending through the tropical rainforest of Mount Rinjani National Park.
The forest provides a completely different atmosphere from the open volcanic terrain experienced during the first two days.
The descent can be long and physically demanding, but the changing scenery makes the journey rewarding.
After several hours of trekking, you will arrive at Senaru Village, where our team will meet you and arrange your transfer to your next destination.
