Why Choose the Sembalun Route?

The Sembalun Route is the most direct and efficient way to reach the Rinjani Summit within two days. Compared to the longer Senaru route, this trail provides a more gradual ascent during the first day, allowing trekkers to adjust their pace before tackling the steep summit climb on the second day.

The trail begins in Sembalun Village (1,100m), surrounded by vast grasslands and open meadows, offering spectacular views of Mount Rinjani from the start. Along the journey, trekkers will pass through several rest posts, local farms, and savannah hills. The open landscape provides wide panoramic scenery, although shade can be limited — making early morning starts essential.

Reaching the Sembalun Crater Rim (2,639m) on the first day is a rewarding moment. From here, the view of the crater lake (Segara Anak) and the towering summit is nothing short of magical. As the sun sets behind the crater rim, you’ll enjoy dinner under a sky full of stars, preparing for the early summit climb the next morning.

Detailed Itinerary – Mount Rinjani Trekking 2 Days 1 Night via Sembalun

Day 0 – Arrival & Preparation

Your adventure begins with a free pickup service from Mataram, Senggigi, or Bangsal Harbor, arranged by Jelogilis. You’ll be transferred to Senaru Village, where you’ll receive a detailed trekking briefing, meet your guides, and check your equipment.
Spend the night in a comfortable local guesthouse, included in your package. This allows you to rest well before your early start the next day.

Day 1 – Sembalun Village (1,100m) to Sembalun Crater Rim (2,639m)

• Trekking Duration: 6–7 hours
• Elevation Gain: ~1,500 meters

After breakfast at your accommodation, depart around 6:00 AM. Drive approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour to reach the Sembalun Trekking Gate. Register at the Rinjani National Park Office, then begin your ascent through the open savannah.

The trek to the crater rim is divided into several rest points:

• Pos 1 (Pemantauan)– gentle slopes and warm sunshine
• Pos 2 (Tengengean) – perfect for a rest and snack stop
• Pos 3 (Pada Balong) – lunch stop with sweeping views of the valley

From here, the trail becomes steeper and more demanding. You’ll climb for another two hours through volcanic soil and grassy slopes before arriving at Sembalun Crater Rim in the late afternoon.

Upon arrival, your porters will set up camp while you relax and enjoy the stunning panorama of Segara Anak Lake and the Rinjani Summit. Dinner will be served at camp as the sun sets behind the mountains. Rest early to prepare for the summit climb.

Day 2 – Summit Ascent and Return to Sembalun

• Trekking Duration: 8–9 hours total
• Summit Elevation: 3,726 meters

Wake up at 2:00 AM for a light snack before starting your summit climb. This section is the most challenging part of the trek, featuring steep, loose volcanic gravel and cold temperatures near the top. However, the reward is worth every step.

Arrive at the Rinjani Summit around 6:00 AM, just in time for the breathtaking sunrise view. From the peak, you can see Mount Agung in Bali, the Gili Islands, and the entire Lombok landscape. This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment — a view that defines the adventure spirit of Rinjani.

After spending time taking photos and enjoying the scenery, descend carefully back to your camp. Enjoy a hearty breakfast before packing up and starting the return journey to Sembalun Village.

The descent takes approximately 5–6 hours through the same trail. Expect to finish by 4:00–5:00 PM, where transportation will be waiting to transfer you to your next destination in Lombok.
