RINJANI TREKKING ITINERARY 3D2N
SEMBALUN UP - SENARU DOWN.

You will leave your main travel suitcases and non-mountain gear at our LOMBOK RINJANI GUIDE basecamp in Senaru on Day 0. Because you exit the mountain directly into Senaru Village on Day 3, your bags will be waiting for you right where you left them, allowing for a seamless transition.

Both campsites are located at roughly the same altitude (around 2,640 masl). Nighttime temperatures at both locations drop significantly, hovering between 5°C and 10°C. It feels slightly windier on the Sembalun Rim, while the Senaru Rim can experience heavy evening mist.

The climb from Danau Segara Anak up to the Senaru Crater Rim takes approximately 3 hours of steady uphill hiking. The trail is steep, rocky, and requires a final burst of energy at the end of a long day, but the panoramic views at the top are completely worth it.

Cellular network reception is intermittent. You will generally find a decent signal at the Sembalun Crater Rim, parts of the summit path, and the Senaru Crater Rim. However, inside the deep volcanic crater lake basin, there is virtually no mobile phone signal.

LOMBOK RINJANI GUIDE uses high-quality, double-layer dome tents built to withstand mountain winds and rain. Inside your tent, you will be provided with a clean, thick mattress, a warm sleeping bag rated for cold weather, and a camping pillow to ensure maximum rest.

The hot springs contain natural sulfur, which is widely celebrated for its healing and therapeutic properties for muscle soreness. However, if you have open wounds, deep cuts, or specific skin allergies, we advise consulting a doctor before soaking.

Mount Baru Jari is a small active volcano cone sitting inside the lake. While it is monitored closely by the vulcanology department and is safe to view from a distance, it does not constantly erupt. From the Senaru Crater Rim, you get a perfect, safe, birds-eye view of this unique geological marvel.

Your safety is our absolute priority. Our licensed mountain guides monitor weather and wind conditions constantly. If a dangerous storm or extreme wind occurs on the ridge, the guide has full authority to delay or cancel the summit attack for safety reasons.

Tipping is not legally mandatory, but it is a well-established custom in the Indonesian trekking industry. Your guides and porters work incredibly hard carrying heavy loads, setting up tents, and cooking fresh meals. If you are happy with their dedicated service, a tip is highly appreciated by the local crew.
