The trek commences from Sembalun Village, starting with a gentle ascent through open grasslands. The trail progresses to Pos 1 (1300m), then continues on to Pos 2 (1500m). A stop for lunch and rest is made at Pos 3 (1800m).

In the afternoon, the trek resumes with a sustained climb toward the Sembalun Crater Rim (2639m). Upon reaching the rim, you will set up camp for the night. This vantage point offers breathtaking views of both sunrise and sunset, and on clear nights, a spectacular view of the Milky Way.

Day 2: Sembalun Crater Rim to Summit, then to Segara Anak Lake

We awaken in the dark to hot drinks and a light breakfast before beginning our ascent to Mount Rinjani summit. The early climb is moderate, leading into a longer, more gradual walk. The final section is a steep climb over loose volcanic scree.

We reach the summit in time to celebrate with a spectacular sunrise, enjoying panoramic views of Lombok, Bali, Sumbawa, and the Segara Anak Lake below.

After taking in the views, we descend back to the Sembalun crater rim for breakfast. The journey then continues down a steep and slippery trail to the stunning Segara Anak Lake and its natural hot springs. Upon reaching the lakeside, we make camp for the night. Here, you can enjoy the serene lake views, take a swim, or relax in the hot springs, which are known for their soothing, natural healing powers.

Upon reaching the rim, you will be rewarded with what is widely considered the second most spectacular view on the mountain, surpassed only by the summit itself.

Core Clothing

• · Insulating Layer: A warm jacket or down jacket is essential for cold nights and early mornings, when temperatures can drop to 0–5°C.
• Base Layers: Pack thermal tops and bottoms for sleeping and for summit day to retain body heat.
• Trekking Pants: Opt for at least one pair of long, quick-dry pants for comfort and practicality on the trail.
• Warmer Weather Option: Include shorts or lightweight pants for hiking in lower, sunnier altitudes.
  · T-Shirts: Bring moisture-wicking shirts for daytime hiking.

Essential Accessories

• Warm Hat & Gloves: Critical for insulation, especially during the cold summit push.
• Sun Protection: A sun hat, cap, or buff is necessary for protection against strong sun and trail dust.
• Rain Gear: Always pack a raincoat or poncho—mountain weather can shift unexpectedly.

Final Crucial Item

· Socks: Pack multiple pairs of moisture-wicking socks. Keeping your feet dry is absolutely crucial for comfort and preventing blisters over long hiking days.
