🗺️ Trekking Itinerary: 2 Days & 1 Night (Sembalun Route)
Please note that this is a demanding itinerary. You will be covering a massive elevation gain in a very short window.
📍 Day 1: The Savanna Ascent to the Crater Rim
-
Elevation: Sembalun Village (1,100m) to Sembalun Crater Rim (2,639m)
-
Trekking Time: 7 to 8 hours
Your 2 Days 1 Night Trekking Rinjani Summit journey begins early! After breakfast at your accommodation, we will drive you to the Rinjani Information Center in Sembalun for your official medical check and registration.
The hike starts relatively flat as you walk through the beautiful, golden savanna grasslands. We will stop for a freshly prepared hot lunch at Pos 2. In the afternoon, the trail becomes significantly steeper as we tackle the climb up to the Sembalun Crater Rim. You will arrive at the campsite (2,639m) in the late afternoon. Your Hallo Rinjani team will have your tents set up so you can enjoy a hot dinner, watch the sunset over the crater lake, and get to sleep early.
📍 Day 2: The Midnight Summit Push & Descent
-
Elevation: Camp (2,639m) to Summit (3,726m), then descend back to Sembalun (1,100m)
-
Trekking Time: 3 hours up, 2 hours down to camp, 5-6 hours down to the village.
You will be woken up at 2:00 AM for a light breakfast of toast and hot tea. Guided by headlamps, you will begin the grueling 3-hour climb to the peak. The final section is a steep, freezing, and wind-swept trail made of loose volcanic scree (gravel and sand). It requires immense willpower, but your Hallo Rinjani guide will be right there to pace you.
Reaching the 3,726m peak at sunrise is a life-changing moment. After celebrating and taking photos, you will carefully “ski” down the loose sand back to the crater rim for a massive, well-deserved second breakfast. Following a short rest, we will pack up and hike all the way back down the savanna trail to Sembalun village, arriving by mid-afternoon. Our driver will then transfer you to your next destination in Lombok.
⚠️ Important: Fitness & Preparation
We want to be completely candid: this trek is not for beginners. Because you are ascending over 2,600 vertical meters and descending the same amount within roughly 36 hours, you must have strong cardiovascular fitness and healthy knees. If you are prone to altitude sickness, we highly recommend looking at our 3-Day or 4-Day packages, which allow your body more time to acclimatize.
