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.
