Rinjani Trekking Summit from Sembalun to Senaru – The Mount Rinjani Trekking 3 Days 2 Nights Package is one of the most popular trekking programs for travelers who want to experience the best highlights of Mount Rinjani at a comfortable pace. The adventure begins in Sembalun Village (1,156m) and finishes in Senaru Village (601m), covering the mountain’s most spectacular landscapes, including the summit, crater rims, Segara Anak Lake, and natural hot springs.

This route allows trekkers to explore both sides of the magnificent Rinjani caldera.

The second day begins with an early morning summit attempt to Mount Rinjani Summit (3,726m), the second-highest volcano in Indonesia. From the summit, you will witness an unforgettable sunrise and breathtaking views stretching across Lombok, Bali, Sumbawa, and the surrounding seas. After descending from the summit, the journey continues down to the beautiful Segara Anak Lake, where you can relax, swim, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the volcanic crater.

One of the highlights of this trek is the opportunity to soak in the natural hot springs located near the lake, known for their warm mineral-rich waters and stunning natural setting. After lunch and relaxation at the lake, the trek continues with a challenging ascent to the spectacular Senaru Crater Rim (2,641m), where you will spend your second night camping above the lake.

From the Senaru Crater Rim, you can enjoy one of the most breathtaking viewpoints on Mount Rinjani. Watch the sunset over the crater, enjoy a freshly prepared dinner, and spend the evening surrounded by incredible mountain scenery under a sky full of stars.
