Rinjani Summit Sembalun To Torean

The Complete Mount Rinjani Traverse – From Summit to Valleys and Hidden Waterfalls

The Sembalun Torean 3-day route is one of the most scenic and balanced ways to experience Mount Rinjani. This route allows trekkers to reach the 3,726-meter summit, explore the turquoise Segara Anak Lake, relax in natural hot springs, and descend through the lush green Torean Valley  a journey that combines challenge, beauty, and comfort in perfect harmony

Unlike standard summit treks that return via the same trail, this route crosses the entire mountain from Sembalun in the east to Torean in the west, ending with a breathtaking descent through lush valleys, jungle cliffs, and hidden waterfalls.

It’s a journey filled with challenge, beauty, and serenity — perfect for adventurers who seek both excitement and balance.

Highlights – Summit Rinjani 3-day trekking Sembalun Torean

• Reach the Summit of Mount Rinjani (3,726 m) – stand above the clouds with sunrise views over Bali, Gili Islands, and Sumbawa.
• Relax at Segara Anak Lake (2,000 m) – bathe in natural hot springs beside the turquoise volcanic lake.
• Experience diverse landscapes – from savanna grasslands and volcanic ridges to crater lakes, valleys, rivers, and jungle.
• Descend via the scenic Torean Valley – trek through rivers, waterfalls, and “narrow cliff trails” that showcase Rinjani’s raw beauty.
• Eco-trekking with purpose – join Green Rinjani’s tree-planting and mountain clean-up programs.
• Led by licensed guides and local porters – ensuring your safety, comfort, and a genuine local experience.

Difficulty Level for Sembalun Torean 3-day

This trek is classified as challenging and suitable for trekkers with good physical fitness and determination.
The summit climb is steep and demanding, while both the descent to the lake and the Torean trail require careful footing and stamina.

1. Unlike the Sembalun–Senaru route, where trekkers must climb again from the lake up to the Senaru Crater Rim, the Sembalun–Torean route descends directly from Segara Anak Lake toward the valley.
   This makes the route different in character, not necessarily easier — the terrain is mostly downhill but includes long, slippery, and rocky sections that still require strong legs, balance, and attention.
2. While the Sembalun–Senaru trek rewards you with another crater rim viewpoint, the Sembalun–Torean trek offers a gentler finish through lush valleys, waterfalls, and tropical jungle — a scenic yet still challenging adventure.

Green Rinjani’s Eco & Community Commitment

Trekking with Green Rinjani means giving back to nature and the local community.
Every trek supports forest restoration and village development around Mount Rinjani.

1. Tree Planting (April–May & October–December) – help restore native trees and prevent erosion.
2. Mountain Clean-Up (July–September) – join our eco-volunteer program to collect litter from the trail.

Green Rinjani is officially recognized by Mount Rinjani National Park (TNGR) for excellence in safety, sustainability, and porter welfare.

• Driving time to Senaru Village (601 m) is 2.5–4 hours, depending on location.
• Morning pick-up (09:00–10:00 AM) is recommended so you can arrive by 2–3 PM, allowing time to rest, enjoy Senaru’s cool air, and visit Sendang Gile & Tiu Kelep Waterfalls, just 15 minutes from the guest house.

• Pre-trek briefing with your guide in the evening.

  Meanwhile, your guide and porters prepare all camping gear, meals, and logistics for the climb.
• 07:00 AM – Depart from Senaru to Sembalun (1,156 m)
  After breakfast, you’ll take a comfortable private car for a 30–40 minute scenic drive across the lush foothills of Mount Rinjani.
  Along the way, enjoy views of rice terraces, rural villages, and surrounding green hills.

Upon arrival at Sembalun Village, your guide will register your trek at the Rinjani

• Information Center (RIC) and brief you about the day’s route, safety, and pacing.
• 08:30 AM – Begin the trek from Sembalun Village (1,156 m)
  The journey starts gently across Sembalun’s vast savannah and farmland, with Mount Rinjani towering ahead.
  The terrain is mostly open and sunny, so a hat, buff, and sunscreen are highly recommended.
• 10:00 AM – Arrive at Pos 1 (1,300 m)
  Take a 10-minute rest. Your guide will explain the trail ahead as you enjoy the peaceful rural scenery — buffaloes grazing, farmers working, and the soft breeze of the Sembalun valley.
• 10:10 AM – Continue to Pos 2 (1,500 m)
  This section is slightly steeper but still comfortable, with rolling grassy hills and a clear, easy-to-follow path.
  The trek takes about 30–45 minutes.
• 11:00 AM – Arrive at Pos 2 (1,500 m)
  Take a 15-minute rest while your porters serve snacks and drinks.

  After lunch, you’ll begin the most challenging part of the day — the ascent through “Tujuh Bukit” (The Seven Hills).
  Each hill brings you closer to the crater rim, but the slopes become steeper and rockier with each climb.
• Among these, one is famously known as “Bukit Penyesalan” (The Hill of Regret) — the seventh and final hill.
  It earns its name because many trekkers, tired and uncertain of how far remains, begin to question their limits.
  But as soon as you reach the top, the view and sense of accomplishment make every step worth it.
• The terrain alternates between dusty volcanic soil and rocky ridges, with short flat sections to rest.
  Your guide will help pace your steps and provide hydration breaks every 30–45 minutes.
  As you climb, the landscape unfolds spectacularly — golden savannah below, the summit of Rinjani above, and the air turning cool and crisp around 2,600 m.

3:30–4:00 PM – Arrive at Plawangan Sembalun Crater Rim (2,639 m)

• Congratulations — you’ve reached your first campsite high above the clouds!

  The temperature drops to around 8–10°C at night, so wear your warm jacket, gloves, and beanie before dinner.
