3 Days 2 Nights Trekking Rinjani Summit and Lake

🌋 3 Days 2 Nights Trekking Rinjani: The Ultimate Summit & Lake Traverse

If you want to experience the absolute best that Mount Rinjani National Park has to offer, the 3 Days 2 Nights Trekking Rinjani Summit and Lake package is the definitive choice. Widely regarded as our most popular and rewarding itinerary, this full-traverse route takes you across the diverse and breathtaking ecosystems of Indonesia’s second-highest volcano.

By booking this incredible adventure with the local experts at Hallo Rinjani, you will conquer the towering 3,726-meter summit, descend into the massive volcanic caldera to swim in the mesmerizing Segara Anak Crater Lake, and soothe your tired muscles in the Aik Kalak natural hot springs.

Starting in the eastern savannas of Sembalun and finishing in the western rainforests of Senaru, this is the ultimate Lombok mountaineering experience.

🌟 Why Choose the 3D2N Summit & Lake Trek?

  • The Complete Experience: You do not have to choose between the summit or the lake—this package includes every major highlight on the mountain.

  • Diverse Landscapes: Experience the transition from wide-open golden grasslands to a rocky alpine summit, a serene blue crater lake, and a dense, shaded tropical jungle.

  • Natural Recovery: After the grueling midnight summit push, soaking in the mineral-rich, warm volcanic hot springs is the ultimate natural reward for your body.

  • Two Iconic Sunsets: Camp at both the Sembalun Crater Rim and the Senaru Crater Rim, giving you two completely different, spectacular sunset views.

🗺️ Trekking Itinerary: 3 Days & 2 Nights (Sembalun to Senaru)

Please note: This is a challenging trek that requires a good level of physical fitness and stamina, as you will be hiking for several hours each day over steep terrain.

📍 Day 1: The Savanna Ascent

  • Elevation: Sembalun Village (1,100m) to Sembalun Crater Rim (2,639m)

  • Trekking Time: 7 to 8 hours

Your 3 Days 2 Nights Trekking Rinjani adventure begins in the morning! After a hearty breakfast at your guesthouse, our team will drive you to the Rinjani Information Center in Sembalun for registration.

The hike starts with a relatively gentle walk through the vast, open savanna of eastern Lombok. Enjoy the unobstructed views of the peak as you warm up. We will stop at Pos 2 for a freshly cooked lunch prepared by your Hallo Rinjani porters. In the afternoon, the real work begins as we tackle the steep, continuous climb up to the Sembalun Crater Rim. You will arrive in the late afternoon to find your tents fully set up. Enjoy a hot dinner and a stunning sunset over the lake before getting to sleep early.

📍 Day 2: The Summit, The Lake, and The Hot Springs

  • Elevation: Camp (2,639m) to Summit (3,726m), down to Lake (2,000m), up to Senaru Rim (2,641m)

  • Trekking Time: 10 to 11 hours

This is the most challenging, rewarding, and longest day of the trek. You will wake up at 2:00 AM for a light breakfast and hot tea before beginning the dark, 3-hour push to the summit. Navigating the steep volcanic scree requires determination, but reaching the 3,726m peak at sunrise makes it all worthwhile.

After descending back to the campsite for a massive second breakfast, we will pack up and hike down into the caldera to the edge of Segara Anak Lake (2,000m). Here, you will have time to relax, eat lunch, and swim in the rejuvenating natural hot springs. Fully refreshed, we will tackle the final 3-hour steep rock climb out of the caldera to our second campsite: the Senaru Crater Rim (2,641m). This spot offers the most iconic views of the active Mount Barujari volcano and the distant Gili Islands.

📍 Day 3: The Rainforest Descent

  • Elevation: Senaru Crater Rim (2,641m) down to Senaru Village (600m)

  • Trekking Time: 5 to 6 hours

Wake up to a crisp morning and a beautiful sunrise over the lake. After breakfast, we begin our final descent down the western slopes of the mountain. Today’s terrain is entirely different: you will leave the rocky volcanic landscape behind and enter the dense, shaded canopy of the Senaru tropical rainforest.

Keep your eyes open for rare black ebony leaf monkeys (Lutung) swinging through the trees. We will arrive at the Hallo Rinjani basecamp in Senaru Village by early afternoon. After a celebratory final meal, our driver will transfer you to your next destination in Lombok (Senggigi, Airport, Kuta, or Bangsal Harbor).
