3-Day Mount Rinjani Summit Trek with Crater Rim Camping

After an early breakfast, drive to Sembalun with the driver.

Register at the Rinjani Trek Center in Sembalun (1,156 m) before commencing the trek.

Start the trek. The trail initially passes through undulating open grassland as it winds up the mountain.

After about 1 hour of walking, reach Position 1 for a short break and some light meals.

Continue to Position 2 and stop for lunch for 2 hours.

After lunch, continue the journey for about 45 minutes.

Reach Position 3 and take a short break.

Walk up to the Sembalun Crater Rim in approximately 3 hours.

Reach the rim around 4:00 pm and camp there for the night.

Wake up early at 2:00 am and have some bread with tea or coffee.

Get ready for the summit at 2:30 am. The first part is quite hard, as you will climb a sandy and fairly steep trail for about 1 hour. The next section is easier, with about 1 hour on a flatter trail. The final hour is the hardest part of the ascent.

Return to camp for breakfast.

After breakfast, continue the journey down to Segara Anak Lake to enjoy the hot spring and have lunch on the lakeshore.

After lunch, start the trek to Senaru Crater Rim, walking up a fairly steep and rocky trail for about 2 and a half hours.

Reach the rim before sunrise. Senaru Crater Rim is also one of the best places to witness the lake view and sunrise.

Camp here for the night.

Enjoy breakfast prepared by the crew at 7:30 am.

After breakfast, continue the trek to Senaru Village.

Have lunch at Position 2 and arrive at Senaru Village around 1:00 pm.
