Mount Rinjani 2 Days 1 Night Summit
Embark on an unforgettable 2-day, 1-night trekking adventure to the summit of Mount Rinjani, Indonesia’s second-highest volcano. This trek begins and ends in Sembalun Village, offering stunning landscapes, challenging climbs, and the ultimate sunrise summit experience.
Overview
The trek starts from Sembalun Village at 1,100 meters above sea level. This route is known for its open meadows and long, sun-exposed paths. As you make your way to the crater rim at 2,600 meters, you will need to conquer five steep hills—each one demanding strength and determination.
On the second day, the real challenge begins. At 2:00 a.m., you’ll start the final climb to the summit, reaching 3,726 meters just in time to witness a magical sunrise.
“The climb was tough but the view from the summit made it all worth it. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience!”
