🌋 Mount Rinjani 2 Day Trek: The Ultimate 2D1N Summit Expedition

Are you short on time but determined to stand at the very top of Indonesia’s second-highest volcano? The Mount Rinjani 2 day trek (2 Days / 1 Night) starting from Sembalun is designed exactly for you.

This fast-paced, challenging itinerary focuses purely on one goal: reaching the magnificent 3,726-meter summit for a spectacular sunrise. By starting and ending in Sembalun village, this Mount Rinjani 2 day trek bypasses the crater lake and hot springs, making it the most direct and time-efficient route to the peak.

Important Note: Because this trek covers a massive elevation gain in a very short amount of time, an excellent level of physical fitness and prior hiking experience are highly recommended.

🎒 What to Expect on Your Mount Rinjani 2 Day Trek

When you book your 2D1N summit package with Ali Trekking, you are in the hands of local experts. We provide everything you need for this intense climb, including national park permits, premium camping gear, hot meals, and a dedicated team of strong porters and an English-speaking guide to ensure your safety.

📍 Day 0: Arrive in Lombok

We will pick up you at Lombok airport, or other place in Lombok island and transfer you to the hotel in senaru. Your trekking guide will give you a briefing to better prepare you for the trip.

📍 Day 1: Sembalun Village to the Sembalun Crater Rim

• Elevation Gain: 1,100m to 2,639m

• Trekking Time: 7 to 8 hours

Your Mount Rinjani 2 day trek begins early! After breakfast at your accommodation, we will drive you to the Rinjani Information Center (RIC) in Sembalun (1,100m) for official registration.

The hike starts with a relatively gentle walk through the vast, open savanna grasslands of eastern Lombok. Because there is very little tree cover, the sun can be intense, but the sweeping views are incredible. You will take breaks at Pos 1 and Pos 2, where our team will prepare a fresh, hot lunch to refuel your energy.

In the afternoon, the real challenge begins. The trail from Pos 3 up to the Sembalun Crater Rim (Pelawangan Sembalun) is a steep, continuous climb. Once you reach the crater rim (2,639m) in the late afternoon, you will be rewarded with your first breathtaking view of the Segara Anak Lake and the active Mount Barujari cone. We will set up camp here, serve a hearty dinner, and ensure you get to sleep early ahead of the midnight summit push.

📍 Day 2: The Summit Push and Descent to Sembalun

• Elevation: Camp (2,639m) to Summit (3,726m), then down to Sembalun (1,100m)

• Trekking Time: 3 hours up, 2 hours down to camp, 5-6 hours down to the village.

Day two is the climax of your Mount Rinjani 2 day trek. You will wake up at 2:00 AM for a light breakfast and hot tea. At 2:30 AM, guided by headlamps, you will begin the grueling 3-hour climb to the summit. The terrain here is challenging—steep, loose volcanic scree means for every two steps forward, you might slide one step back.

Your perseverance will pay off when you reach the 3,726-meter peak just as the sun rises. The panoramic views stretching across to Bali (Mount Agung), Sumbawa, and the spectacular crater lake below are unforgettable.

After taking photos and celebrating, you will descend back to the crater rim camp for a large, well-deserved second breakfast. Following a brief rest, we will pack up and begin the 5 to 6-hour descent back down the savanna trail to Sembalun village. Upon arrival, our driver will be waiting to transfer you to your next destination in Lombok (Senggigi, Mataram, Bangsal, or the airport).
