Mount Rinjani 2 Days and 1 Night Summit Sembalun Route

Rinjani Summit Trek
Sembalun Trail
Camping Crater Rim

Awaken the adventurer within. Your epic journey commences in the high-altitude agricultural heartland of Sembalun Village (1,100m). Trek across sweeping, sun-drenched savannas that offer vast, unobstructed panoramas before tackling the exhilarating ascent to the crater rim. To conquer the 2,639m rim, you will dig deep into your reserves to ascend the legendary "Regret Hills"—five steep inclines that test your spirit.

On the second day, the true test of endurance begins under a blanket of stars at 2:00 AM. Push your limits on the volcanic scree to stand atop the absolute pinnacle of Mount Rinjani (3,726m). Reaching the top of Indonesia's second-highest peak just as the first light of dawn illuminates the archipelago is a triumph you will carry forever. Though the descent follows the same path, managing your energy on the steep, loose gravel offers a thrilling new challenge.
