Day 01 – Sembalun Village to Sembalun Crater Rim
Your adventure begins with an early breakfast before a comfortable transfer to Sembalun Village (1,100 m), the starting point of your Mount Rinjani trek. Upon arrival, you’ll complete registration and a health check at the Rinjani Information Center before beginning the hike.
The trek starts with a gentle ascent across wide-open savanna, offering scenic views and a relaxed introduction to the journey. You will pass Pos 1 (1,300 m) and continue to Pos 2 (1,500 m), where you can take a short rest.
Savanna Trail and Lunch Break
The trail continues gradually to Pos 3 (1,800 m), a common lunch stop surrounded by peaceful grassland. This section is steady and manageable, allowing you to conserve energy before the more demanding climb ahead.
Ascent to Sembalun Crater Rim
After lunch, the trail becomes steeper as you ascend toward the Sembalun Crater Rim. This part of the trek is more challenging but incredibly rewarding.
By late afternoon, you’ll arrive at the crater rim (2,639 m), your campsite for the night. From here, take in spectacular panoramic views of Mount Rinjani, enjoy a stunning sunset, and relax under a sky full of stars — a perfect end to your first day.
