Itinerary

1. Arrival Day

   • You'll be picked up from your chosen Lombok port and taken to accommodation in Senaru.
   • 'Meet & Greet' with your guide, who will answer any questions.

2. Trekking Day 1

   • 6:00 am  - Breakfast.
   • 7.30 am  - Drive to Sembalun’s Gunung Rinjani National Park Office to register (1100m).
   • 8.00 am - This trek starts with a gentle 2-hour climb through the open meadow to Post1.
   • At Post 1 (1,300m), you will have a short stop for morning tea, then onward to Post 2 (1500m) and Post 3.
   • Lunch is served at Post 3 (1800m), where you can have a rest before starting the 3-hour steep climb to Sembalun Crater Rim.
   • Arrive Sembalun Crater Rim (2639m). While we cook your meal and set up camp, you will enjoy an incredible sunset. On a clear night, you can see the star-studded Milky Way. An early night is recommended in preparation for your early morning summit challenge. 

   Note: If you don’t feel up to the challenge, you can choose to stay at camp (and sleep in!) until the others return. You will still be assured of a thrilling adventure and high fives all around!

3. Trekking Day 2

   • 2:00 a.m. - Wake for a hot drink and light breakfast.
   • 3.00 a.m. - Under the cover of darkness, you start the Rinjani summit ascent. The trek starts with a moderately steep section, followed by a more accessible but longer stretch. The final approach involves a challenging steep climb on loose scree.
   • 6.00 a.m. - You arrive at the summit of Mt Rinjani (3726m) to be rewarded with a beautiful sunrise panoramic view of the islands of Lombok, Bali, Sumbawa and Lake Segara Anak.
   • From here, we return to camp to enjoy our well-earned main breakfast at about 8.00 a.m.
   • The final part of your hike returns you to the village of Sembalun, which takes about 5 hours. A car will then take you back to Senaru, where we’ll transfer you to your next destination.
