Complete Summit & Lake Experience (3,726 m)
The Mount Rinjani 5 Days 4 Nights Trek is the most complete way to experience Lombok’s iconic volcano.
This itinerary allows you to explore the Rinjani summit (3,726 m), the stunning Segara Anak Lake, natural hot springs, and both crater rims at a comfortable pace.
With extra time to rest and explore, this program offers a more relaxed trekking experience while still reaching the summit and visiting all of Rinjani’s most famous highlights.
Your adventure begins with a free pick-up service from several locations across Lombok including Kuta Lombok, Senggigi, Mataram, Tetebatu, Bangsal Harbor, or the Gili Islands.
Our driver will transfer you to Senaru Village, located on the northern side of Mount Rinjani.
You will stay overnight in a comfortable guesthouse with mountain views, private bathroom, and breakfast included. In the evening, your trekking guide will meet you for a short briefing and equipment check to prepare for the journey ahead.
The day begins with breakfast in Senaru before a short 30–40 minute transfer to Sembalun Village, the starting point of the trek.
After registration at the Rinjani Information Center, the trek begins across the wide savanna plains of Sembalun.
The trail gradually climbs through Pos 1, Pos 2, and Pos 3, where short breaks and lunch are taken along the way.
In the afternoon, the trail becomes steeper as you climb through the famous Seven Hills (Tujuh Bukit) toward Sembalun Crater Rim.
By late afternoon you arrive at Plawangan Sembalun (2,639 m) where camp is set up. Enjoy spectacular views of Segara Anak Lake and Mount Baru Jari before dinner and an early rest.
Distance: 9–10 km
Duration: 6–7 hours
Difficulty: Moderate
Summit day begins very early around 2:00 AM with a light breakfast.
The climb to the Rinjani summit (3,726 m) is steep and challenging, with loose volcanic gravel. After several hours of ascent, you will reach the summit just before sunrise.
From the top, enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of Lombok, Bali, Sumbawa, and the massive Rinjani caldera below.
After celebrating at the summit, descend back to the crater rim for breakfast before continuing the journey down toward Segara Anak Lake.
In the afternoon, relax at the natural hot springs near the lake, perfect for recovering tired muscles.
Dinner and overnight camping by the lake.
Distance: ~8 km total
Difficulty: Very Challenging
Day three is a relaxing exploration day around the beautiful Segara Anak crater lake.
Wake up to peaceful lake views and enjoy breakfast beside the water. This extra day allows trekkers to rest and explore the surrounding area.
Optional activities include:
Visiting Gua Susu (Milk Cave)
Swimming near the lakeshore
Returning to the natural hot springs
Exploring the caldera landscape
Photography and relaxation
This recovery day makes the 5D4N trek more comfortable than shorter Rinjani trekking programs.
Dinner and overnight camping at the lake.
After breakfast, enjoy a relaxed morning by the lake before beginning the climb toward Senaru Crater Rim.
The trail is steep and rocky, with some narrow paths and metal ladders assisting the climb in several sections.
As you gain elevation, the view of the turquoise lake becomes even more dramatic.
By late afternoon you reach Plawangan Senaru (2,641 m), one of the most scenic viewpoints on Mount Rinjani. From here you can see the entire caldera, Segara Anak Lake, Mount Baru Jari, and even Mount Agung in Bali on clear days.
Dinner and overnight camping at the crater rim.
Distance: 2.5 km
Duration: 3–4 hours
Difficulty: Moderate to Challenging
The final day begins with breakfast at the crater rim while enjoying your last views of the Rinjani landscape.
After breakfast, begin the descent through the lush tropical rainforest of Mount Rinjani National Park.
This trail offers a completely different environment compared to the open volcanic slopes above, with shaded forest paths and rich biodiversity.
Lunch is served at Pos 1 before continuing the descent to Senaru Village, where the trek officially ends.
After arriving in Senaru, you can shower, change clothes, and relax before being transferred to your next destination.
