Experience the ultimate 4-Day, 3-Night Mount Rinjani Trek, a specialized itinerary that follows the classic route but adds a leisurely pace by spending an extra night at the stunning crater lake. Starting from Sembalun village, you will hike through expansive rolling grasslands to reach the Sembalun Crater Rim campsite, where you can witness a breathtaking sunset and the shimmering Milky Way. After a 3:00 AM light breakfast and hot tea, you will tackle the challenging three-hour ascent to the summit for sunrise; however, unlike shorter tours, this package allows you to descend into the crater afterward to relax at the natural hot springs and camp overnight by the serene shores of Lake Segara Anak.

Day 1 Sembalun Crater Rim
Begin your day with an early breakfast. our driver will then transfer you to the village of Sembalun (1,100 m) for registration at the official Rinjani Information Center.
The trek commences from Sembalun. The first section is a gentle, scenic ascent through open meadows. You will reach the first post (1,300 m), followed by a walk to the second post (1,500 m). Continuing on, you will arrive at the third post (1,800 m), where you will stop for a well-earned lunch and rest.
In the afternoon, you will begin the final and more challenging ascent to the Sembalun crater rim (2,639 m). This segment involves a prolonged, steep climb. Upon reaching the rim, you will set up camp for the night. This spectacular vantage point offers stunning panoramic views, including unforgettable sunrise and sunset vistas over the mountain landscape.
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.

After taking in the views, we descend back to the Sembalun crater rim for breakfast.
