We will pickup from Bangsal, Senggigi, or Mataram a day prior to the trek. Accommodation will be arranged for one night at Senaru.

Day 1

Starting from Bangsal, Senggigi, or Mataram, we will depart the day before the trek. Upon arrival, we will proceed to Rinjani Information Center (RIC), located at 1051 meters above sea level and Post 1 (Monitoring Post), situated at 1300 meters, both taking approximately 2 hours each. A brief rest at Post 1 (Monitoring Post) followed by another 5 to 10-minute break at Post 2 (Tengengean) will follow. Continuing to Post 3 (Pada Balong) at 1800 meters, we'll make a 2-hour stop for lunch and a warm beverage.

Our journey concludes at the Sembalun Crater Rim, offering stunning panoramic views of Mount Rinjani, the Segara Anak Lake, and the surrounding landscapes. We will camp overnight and witness the mesmerizing sunrises and sunsets.

Day 2

Awake at 02:30 AM with a light breakfast. Departing the craters at 03:00 AM, we commence our ascent towards Rinjani's peak. The first leg takes about 120 minutes, while the second stage involves a relatively gentle but lengthy hike. The final stretch is particularly steep and challenging, characterized by numerous loose stones that require cautious footing. As we reach the summit, we're rewarded with breathtaking vistas of Lombok Island, Bali, and the Sumatran landscape. Following sunrise, we descend to Sembalun Crater Rim for a hot breakfast. After resting briefly, we'll embark on the descent to the Sembalun village area, accompanied by porters.

If opting for a 2-day trek, we'll proceed to the lake and hot springs within 3 hours, enjoying the therapeutic effects of the water. The descent is steep and slippery; therefore, caution is advised. After lunch, we'll travel up to the Senaru Crater Rim, covering approximately 3 hours. Enjoy the magnificent sunset over Mount Agung in Bali and the volcanic mist rising from the nearby lake.

Day 3

After an early breakfast, we'll head down to Senaru Village, returning via a scenic route that includes several steep climbs and rocky terrain. This part of the journey typically takes 4-5 hours, during which we'll pause and enjoy a lunch along the way. Upon arrival at Senaru Rinjani Trekking Centre, we'll set out promptly, arriving at Bangsal Harbor or Senggigi around 12:30 PM to 1:00 PM.
