Starting and finishing in Sembalun village, this fast-paced adventure takes you through sweeping savannah grasslands, rocky mountain trails, and finally to the summit, where you’ll be rewarded with unforgettable sunrise views over Lombok, Bali, Sumbawa, and Segara Anak Lake.

Trail Conditions — What to Expect
Expect long uphill climbs, steep zigzag trails, and sections of loose volcanic sand — especially on the final push to the summit. The trek begins with open savannah grasslands, gradually transitioning into rocky and steeper paths as you gain altitude.
The final ascent to the summit is very steep, narrow, and slippery, but the panoramic sunrise views at the top make every step worthwhile.
This route is physically demanding and is best suited for trekkers with good fitness levels and prior hiking experience.
Please note: This 2-day trek does not include a visit to Segara Anak Lake or the hot springs. These are accessible only on longer itineraries such as the 3-day / 2-night trek via Sembalun or Senaru routes.

- 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.
By booking with Green Rinjani:
- You lock in your foreign quota slot
