Rinjani Trekking Summit: 3 Days Sembalun to Senaru

3 Days 2 Nights
Happy Trekker at Rinjani Summit
Segara Anak Lake
Senaru Descent

Your journey begins and ends in Sembalun Village, situated at 1,100m above sea level. This path treats you to vast, scenic vistas, though the trek across the plains can be long and warm. To reach the 2,600m crater rim, you'll need plenty of stamina to conquer five notoriously challenging 'hills of regret.'

The adventure peaks on day two with a 2:00 AM start, challenging your limits to reach the 3,726m summit just in time for a spectacular sunrise. In addition to the summit, you will also be visiting and bathing in the lake and hot spring, camping at the Senaru crater rim with amazing views, and finally trekking down to Senaru village via the green route.
