Overview

Mount Rinjani Summit Trek 2 Days- A Fast – Paced Adventure To The Top
 
The Mount Rinjani summit trek 2 days 1 night is designed for travelers who want to reach the summit in a short amount of time. This program focuses on one main goal — standing on top of Mount Rinjani, the second-highest volcano in Indonesia at 3,726 meters.
Although the itinerary is short, the trek is physically demanding and best suited for fit, active hikers looking for a rewarding challenge.
 
Sembalun Route – Direct Access to the Summit
 
The trek starts in Sembalun Village, located on the eastern side of the mountain. This route is the most efficient way to reach the summit, making it ideal for a 2-day itinerary.
The first day begins with a gradual hike across open savanna, offering wide views and a steady pace as you gain elevation. As you climb higher, the terrain becomes steeper and more volcanic in character.
By late afternoon, you’ll arrive at the crater rim, where you will set up camp for the night. From this viewpoint, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset overlooking Lombok, and on clear days, even see Bali in the distance.
 
Summit Day – A Challenging Sunrise Climb
 
The summit push begins early, usually before midnight. With headlamps lighting the way, you’ll hike under the stars toward the peak.
This section is the most demanding part of the trek, as the trail consists of loose volcanic gravel and steep inclines. It requires determination and steady pacing, but the reward is unforgettable.
Reaching the summit of Mount Rinjani just before sunrise offers incredible panoramic views above the clouds. From the top, you can see across Lombok, Bali, and the surrounding islands — a truly memorable moment.
 
Descent and Trek Completion
 
After enjoying the sunrise, you’ll return to the campsite for breakfast before starting the descent back to Sembalun.
The way down follows the same route, giving you a different perspective of the landscape you climbed the day before. While less intense than the ascent, the descent still requires care, especially on sandy and uneven sections.
By the end of the day, your Mount Rinjani 2 days 1 night trek is complete — a short but powerful adventure that combines challenge, scenery, and achievement.

Trek Itinerary

Day 0 – Arrival & Transfer

Your Mount Rinjani adventure begins with a convenient and complimentary pick-up service, designed to make your journey smooth and hassle-free. Whether you are arriving in Lombok or already staying on the island, our team will collect you directly from your location and transfer you to Jou Trekking Guesthouse in Senaru.

We provide pick-up services from a wide range of key locations across Lombok, including:

  • Lombok International Airport (LOP)
  • Lembar Port and Labuan Lombok Port
  • Bangsal Port
  • Kuta Lombok
  • Senggigi
  • Mataram
  • Tetebatu
  • Tanjung and the Bangsal area

This door-to-door service ensures a comfortable, stress-free start to your trekking experience, giving you time to relax, settle in at the guesthouse, and prepare for the adventure ahead

Day 1: Sembalun Village to Sembalun Crater Rim

Begin your Mount Rinjani summit trek 2 days 1 night with an energizing start from Sembalun Village, the most popular trailhead for summit-focused climbs. This route is well-known for its wide-open landscapes, making it ideal for trekkers who want clear views and a steady hiking rhythm from the beginning.
 
After a short transfer from Senaru, you’ll register at the Rinjani National Park office before starting your ascent. The trail gradually climbs through rolling savannah, offering panoramic scenery of Lombok’s eastern valleys and Mount Rinjani’s towering ridges. Compared to the forested Senaru route, the Sembalun trail feels more exposed, but the constant views make every step worthwhile.
 
As you move higher, the terrain becomes steeper and more challenging, especially after Pos 3. This section tests your endurance, but it also builds anticipation for reaching the spectacular Sembalun Crater Rim, your campsite for the night.
 
Arriving at the crater rim in the late afternoon is one of the highlights of this Rinjani trekking tour. From here, you’ll enjoy dramatic views overlooking Segara Anak Lake, the active volcano within the crater, and the summit trail you’ll tackle before dawn. As the sun sets, the sky transforms into a canvas of colors, followed by a peaceful night under the stars — a true high-altitude camping experience on Mount Rinjani, Lombok.
 
Your guide and porters will prepare dinner while you relax and take in the incredible surroundings. Rest early, as your Rinjani summit hike begins in the early hours of the next day.

Day 2: Summit Sunrise and Descent to Sembalun Village

Day 2 is the highlight of your Mount Rinjani trekking tour, combining the thrill of a pre-dawn summit push with a long but rewarding descent back to Sembalun. This is the most demanding yet unforgettable part of the journey, offering panoramic views and a true sense of achievement.
After a short rest at the Sembalun Crater Rim, your guide will wake you in the early hours for the final ascent. Equipped with headlamps, you’ll begin climbing under a sky full of stars, following a steep volcanic trail toward the summit. The final section is challenging, with loose gravel underfoot, but every step brings you closer to one of the best viewpoints in Indonesia.
Reaching the summit of Mount Rinjani (3,726 m), you’ll witness a spectacular sunrise above the clouds, with sweeping views over Lombok, Bali, and the surrounding islands. It’s a truly rewarding moment that makes the early start worthwhile.
After taking photos and enjoying the scenery, you’ll descend carefully back to the crater rim campsite for a well-earned breakfast. Once refreshed, the journey continues with a steady downhill trek across open grasslands and rolling hills toward Sembalun Village. This section allows you to fully appreciate the landscape you climbed the day before.
