Our Mt. Rinjani Summit Trek is our most popular trek. It’s a 2 day / 1 night trek that is best for adventerous travelers who want the best view Lombok has to offer. This hike is the fastest way to get to the summit and back down and is specifically for travelers on a tight schedule.
This journey starts at your homestay in Senaru Village in North Lombok. You will stay one night at our homestay where dinner is served to you. You can adventure to nearby waterfalls in the evening if you’d like as well as see many monkeys.
In the morning, you will have breakfast & coffee at your homestay. You will then take a 1 hour drive to the town of Sembalun. The drive is a memory in itself as you ride in the back of a truck, wind in your hair, through the villages of Lombok.
You will begin your hike from Sembalun. Half way up the mountain we will have a filling lunch cooked by your porters. After that, we continue to the crater rim, which we will reach by mid-day. We will spend the evening at the crater rim where we will have dinner.
The following day, we wake up a 2:00am for a light breakfast and begin our journey to the summit around 2:30am. This is the most difficult part of the hike and will take a total of 4 hours to reach the summit. Once at the summit, you will notice that it is very cold! Most travelers only stay at the summit for a short time before decending.
The decent is much shorter and will only take 1-1/2 hours to return to the crater rim. You will then have a larger breakfast and take a short rest. After this, you will begin your decent back to the bottom of the mountain. We will stop for lunch at the halfway point, and then continue to Sembalun.
Once in Sembalun, you will take a truck ride back to the homestay to meet back up with your driver, who will take you your next destination.
Travelers usually arrive an Bangsal Harbor via Bali or Gili Islands. Some travelers may arrive via Lombok airport. In both situations, we offer transportation to our homestay in Senaru as part of your package. You will arrive at our homestay and have dinner. You will be able to enjoy beautiful views from our outdoor dining area as well as watch monkeys right below you. You can also walk to Tiu Kelep waterfall which is only 20 minutes by foot. The trail is right in front of our homestay.
You will start your day with breakfast and coffee or tea. You will start with a 1 hour drive to Sembalun. This day you will hike all day until late afternoon, stopping for lunch in the middle. You will arrive at the crater rim in the late afternoon where your porters will already be setting up camp. You will spend the evening enjoying the views from the crater rim & have dinner. You sleep at the crater rim.
On the 3rd day, you will wake up at 2:00am for a quick breakfast and then hike to the summit starting at around 2:30am. You will reach the toughest part of the trek at around 5:00am, which is a rocky accent to the summit. The footing here is loose, but you are not in danger of falling off the mountain. It is just strenuous because of the loose, gravel like rocks. You reach the summit just before sunrise, and enjoy it from the peak for about 20-30 mins. After summiting, you will come back to crater rim for a big breakfast and then start to descend the mountain. If traveling to Sembalun, the decent is mildly steep. If traveling to Senaru, most of the day is through thick rainforest. We will stop mid-day for lunch, and then continue after lunch. Once at the bottom of the mountain, you will be driven back to the port or airport. If you plan to stay for one of our other adventures, you will be brought back to our homestay in Senaru.
