Embark on a 2-day trek to the summit of Mount Rinjani, a challenging route suitable for experienced mountain climbers. Admire the breathtaking views of the surrounding area from the summit of the active volcano.

Day 1: Arrive at homestay via port or airport
Travelers usually arrive at Pemenang port via Bali or Gili Islands. Some travelers may arrive via Lombok airport. In both situations, transportation to the homestay in Senaru is provided. Arrive at the homestay and have dinner. Enjoy beautiful views from the outdoor dining area and watch monkeys below. Walk to Tiu Kelep waterfall, only 20 minutes away by foot. The trail is right in front of the homestay.

Day 2: Hike up to Crater Rim
Start the day with breakfast and coffee or tea. Start with a 1-hour drive to Sembalun. Hike all day until late afternoon, stopping for lunch in the middle. Arrive at the crater rim in the late afternoon where your porters will already be setting up camp. Spend the evening enjoying the views from the crater rim and have dinner. Sleep at the crater rim.

Day 3: Hike to the Summit / Descend the Mountain
On the 3rd day, wake up at 2:00 AM for a quick breakfast and then hike to the summit starting at around 2:30 AM. Reach the toughest part of the trek at around 5:00 AM, which is a rocky ascent to the summit. The footing here is loose, but you are not in danger of falling off the mountain. It is just strenuous because of the loose, gravel-like rocks. Reach the summit just before sunrise, and enjoy it from the peak for about 20-30 mins. After summiting, come back to the crater rim for a big breakfast and then start to descend the mountain. If traveling to Sembalun, the descent is mildly steep. If traveling to Senaru, most of the day is through thick rainforest. Stop mid-day for lunch, and then continue after lunch. Once at the bottom of the mountain, be driven back to the port or airport. If planning to stay for one of the other adventures, be brought back to the homestay in Senaru.
