2 Day 1 Rinjani Summit Trek
As with all our treks, if time permits, we recommend staying one night in Senaru beforehand, so you can start your trek fresh the next day. With this option, we include a visit the first day to the two beautiful waterfalls in Senaru, and a traditional homestay for the night.
Day
1
Early transfer by car to Sembalun where we start the trek. The first leg of our journey takes approximately 6-7 hours through open grassland to Sembalun crater rim. We camp here for the night. Time to relax and have dinner whilst watching an amazing sunset over the Segara Anak Lake. Early to bed.
Day
2
An early wake up call at 2.30am to start the ascent to the summit of Gunung Rinjani (3726m) taking approximately 2-3 hours. The terrain is mostly loose scree or stones and the ascent is steep therefore it can be strenuous. If you wish you can always remain at camp for this part of the trek. However it’s certainly worth the effort as you will be greeted by an awe inspiring sunrise with views of Bali to the west and Sumbawa to the east whilst enjoying a great sense of personal achievement. Arrive back at camp around 8.30am. Time for a good breakfast and a rest.
Descend back to Sembalun village where your driver will be waiting to transfer you back to Senaru & onwards to Bangsal, Senggigi or Mataram.
