Mount Rinjani 3 Days 2 Nights Summit Trek
The Mount Rinjani 3 Days 2 Nights trekking package is a complete trekking route through Mount Rinjani National Park. Starting in Sembalun and finishing in Senaru, the itinerary includes the summit, Segara Anak Lake, the hot springs and both crater rims.
On the first day, the trail crosses the open savanna around Sembalun before climbing to Sembalun Crater Rim. The second day begins with an early morning ascent to Mount Rinjani summit, followed by a descent to Segara Anak Lake and a climb to Senaru Crater Rim.
On the final day, you descend through the tropical rainforest to Senaru Village. This direction is recommended in the original itinerary because the trek begins from the higher Sembalun trailhead and finishes on the shaded Senaru route.
Adi Trekker provides local mountain guides and porters, camping equipment and trekking meals. The operator also states its commitment to bringing trekking waste back for proper disposal and serving meals using traditional pandanus mats.
Fitness requirements: This is a physically demanding trek recommended for experienced hikers. Day 2 combines the summit ascent, descent to Segara Anak Lake and another climb to Senaru Crater Rim.
Sembalun to Summit, Lake and Senaru
The three-day route crosses the mountain from east to north, connecting both crater rims through the summit and Segara Anak Lake.
Route highlights
Overnight at Sembalun Crater Rim on Day 1 and Senaru Crater Rim on Day 2. This is a simplified route overview.
