Trekking To Rinjani Summit 3,726m Lombok 4 days 3 nights start from senaru finish in sembalun
Start from Senaru – Summit – Finish in Sembalun
Explore Mount Rinjani in its most complete form with our 4-day, 3-night trekking program. Starting from the lush rainforest trail of Senaru and finishing in the vast savannahs of Sembalun, this route is perfect for those seeking a balanced, immersive, and scenic adventure — including the crater rim, Segara Anak Lake, natural hot springs, and the summit of Mount Rinjani at 3,726 meters above sea level.
This itinerary allows for a smoother acclimatization before the summit climb, providing more time to enjoy and adapt to the altitude while experiencing the full natural beauty of Rinjani at a relaxed pace.
Why Choose Senaru to Sembalun Route?
Unlike the typical 3-day trek from Sembalun where the summit is reached on the second morning, this route allows you to approach the summit on the third morning, when your body is more rested and acclimatized. Many trekkers find this far more manageable and enjoyable, especially when descending after the summit push.
From day one, you’ll walk under the shady rainforest canopy, rich in wildlife and towering trees, slowly gaining elevation toward the stunning Senaru Crater Rim. You’ll sleep under the stars with a breathtaking view over the Segara Anak Lake and surrounding peaks.
Day two takes you down into the crater for a refreshing soak in Rinjani’s natural hot springs, followed by a peaceful overnight at the lake. On day three, you’ll climb up to the Sembalun Crater Rim, enjoying sunset views and preparing for the highlight: the sunrise trek to the summit on the final morning.

Important thing to know:
Please read carefully, all about information you need to know to help you prepare your trip better.
Mount Rinjani Trekking Quota: Why Early Booking is Essential Mount Rinjani is one of the most iconic trekking destinations in the world. To protect the mountain’s natural beauty and ensure a safe experience, the National Park limits the number of climbers each day. This system is called the trekking quota, and it’s divided into two categories:
For international travelers, there are 240 quota slots each day. These slots are managed by trekking organizers like GREEN RINJANI to ensure proper permits, guides, and safety arrangements. Because demand is high — especially during peak season (July–September) — these slots fill up fast.
Booking early (1–2 months in advance) guarantees your spot, saves last-minute stress, and allows you to secure your preferred trekking date and route.
Local / Public Quota — 160 slots per day For Indonesian citizens or domestic trekkers, 160 slots are available daily. These are reserved for climbers registering independently at the Rinjani Trekking Centre in Senaru or Sembalun. Local quotas tend to fill quickly during busy periods, so early planning is still highly recommended.
Why This Matters for You Without a secured quota slot, trekking Mount Rinjani is not allowed. This is why early booking is essential — especially for foreign visitors who depend on agency-arranged quotas.
