2 Days 1 Night Mount Rinjani Summit Itinerary
Day 1 – Sembalun Village to Sembalun Crater Rim
Your adventure begins early in Sembalun Village, located on the eastern side of Mount Rinjani.
After registration and trekking preparations, you will start your journey through the open savannah of Mount Rinjani National Park.
The first section of the trail is relatively gradual, passing through wide grasslands with beautiful views of the surrounding hills and volcanic landscape.
After reaching several trekking checkpoints, the trail becomes increasingly steep as you approach the Sembalun Crater Rim.
A lunch break will be arranged along the route before continuing toward the campsite.
The final climb to the crater rim is challenging, but the panoramic views make the effort worthwhile.
Upon reaching Sembalun Crater Rim, you will enjoy views of Mount Rinjani’s enormous caldera, Segara Anak Lake, and the surrounding mountains.
Our porters will prepare your campsite while you rest and have dinner.
After an early dinner, you will go to bed early because the summit climb begins in the middle of the night.

Day 2 – Summit Sunrise and Descent to Sembalun Village
Your summit adventure begins around midnight.
After a light breakfast and preparation, you will start the challenging climb toward Mount Rinjani Summit at 3,726 meters.

Your guide will accompany you throughout the climb and help you maintain a safe and manageable pace.
After reaching the summit, you will have time to enjoy the spectacular sunrise.

Breakfast will be served at the campsite before continuing downhill toward Sembalun Village.

Best Time to Climb Mount Rinjani
Mount Rinjani trekking is generally more suitable during the dry season when trail conditions and visibility are often more favorable.
However, trekking activities are always subject to Mount Rinjani National Park regulations, weather conditions, volcanic activity, and trail safety.
Routes may be modified, restricted, or temporarily closed when authorities determine that conditions are unsafe.
For your safety, always follow the instructions of your trekking guide and the official authorities.
Is the 2D1N Rinjani Summit Trek Suitable for Beginners?
The 2D1N summit trek can be completed by first-time trekkers who have good physical fitness and prepare properly beforehand.
However, it is important to understand that this is not an easy trek.
The summit climb involves several hours of steep uphill walking over loose volcanic sand, often in darkness and cold temperatures.
We recommend preparing several weeks before your trekking date with regular hiking, walking, cardio exercises, and leg-strength training.
