Summit Rinjani 5 Days / 4 Nights – A Complete Adventure

The Summit Rinjani 5 Days / 4 Nights trek is designed for travelers who want the full Mount Rinjani experience at a relaxed pace. Over five days, you’ll explore all the highlights of the volcano: rolling Sembalun savannas, dense tropical rainforests, Segara Anak Lake, natural hot springs, multiple crater rims, and the summit at 3,726 meters. Compared to the 4D3N Summit trek, this program allows more time for acclimatization, rest, and exploration — including two nights at Segara Anak Lake and additional stops along the trail. The longer duration ensures trekkers can enjoy the journey fully, take in panoramic views, and move at a comfortable pace, making it suitable for first-time climbers, families, and those seeking a less rushed adventure.

Key Differences from 4D3N Trek:

1. Duration & Pace: 5D4N has an extra day, allowing a slower, more enjoyable trek with additional time at Segara Anak Lake.
2. Lake Experience: Two nights at the lake instead of one, giving time for hot springs, short hikes, and photography.
3. Rest & Acclimatization: More gradual elevation gain reduces fatigue and improves safety for summit day.
4. Overall Experience: 5D4N offers a more immersive journey with extended views of the volcano, crater rims, and surrounding Lombok landscapes.

Instead of rushing, this trek allows you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of Mount Rinjani. Each morning, you’ll wake up to crisp mountain air, panoramic landscapes, and the natural sounds of the jungle, while evenings are perfect for stargazing under clear skies. You’ll camp in carefully selected spots, relax in natural hot springs, and enjoy sunrise and sunset from some of the most breathtaking viewpoints on the mountain, including the crater rims and Segara Anak Lake.

Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or solo, this program is designed to balance adventure with ample rest. The gradual pace and extended stops make it ideal for beginners, families, or anyone wanting to experience Rinjani fully, without feeling rushed — allowing you to truly savor each moment on the trek.

Highlights of the 5-Day Trek

1. Sembalun Savanna: Begin your journey through vast grasslands and rolling hills, framed by towering volcanic peaks.
2. Sunset over Segara Anak Lake: Watch the sky turn golden above the crater lake, one of Rinjani’s most magical sights.
3. Unforgettable Sunrise at the Summit (3,726 m): Panoramic views across Lombok, Bali, and Sumbawa bathed in morning light.
4. Segara Anak Lake & Hot Springs: Relax at the sacred crater lake and rejuvenate in the natural hot springs.
5. Senaru Crater Rim Views: Overlook the lake, Mount Agung in Bali, and lush forests below.
6. Tropical Forests & Gili Islands: Trek through rich rainforest and, on clear days, glimpse the white sands and turquoise waters of the Gili Islands.
