  Plawangan Sembalun Crater Rim (2,639 m) – Your first campsite on Day 1, famous for its golden sunset overlooking Segara Anak Lake and Mount Baru Jari.

• Soak in Natural Hot Springs – A highlight of the 4-day trek, perfect for soothing tired muscles while surrounded by stunning crater walls.
• Walk through Changing Landscapes – Journey from Sembalun’s open savannah to Segara Anak’s volcanic basin, ending in Senaru’s lush rainforest filled with monkeys and tropical birds.
• Perfect Balance of Challenge and Rest – The 4-day itinerary gives trekkers enough time to climb the summit, explore the lake, and descend comfortably — ideal for those wanting a complete Rinjani experience without rushing.
• Guided by Local Experts – Trek safely and comfortably with Green Rinjani’s professional guides and porters, all trained in first aid, eco-trekking, and guest care to ensure your comfort and safety from start to finish.

Green Rinjani’s Eco & Community Commitment

1. Tree Planting (April–May & October–December) — help restore Rinjani’s forest by planting a young tree along the trail.
2. Mountain Clean-Up (July–September) — support conservation by joining our waste-collection initiative during trekking.
3. Trek with Experienced Local Guides & Porters — Green Rinjani’s professional team ensures safety, comfort, and care throughout your journey.

Difficulty Level

• The 4-day trek is classified as challenging, suitable for trekkers with good physical fitness and some prior hiking experience.
• You will face steep ascents, long walking hours, and high-altitude conditions — especially during the summit climb, where the terrain is sandy and the air is thin.
• However, the extra day to rest and camp by Segara Anak Lake makes this route more balanced and comfortable than the shorter 2- or 3-day programs.
• It allows trekkers to recover properly before the next ascent, making the overall experience smoother and more enjoyable.
• While not easy, this program is the best choice for beginners who are well-prepared.
• If you’re new to mountain trekking but exercise regularly or train in advance (such as hiking, jogging, or stair climbing 2–3 times a week), you can complete this trek successfully with the guidance of our professional Green Rinjani team.

In summary:

• Beginners can join, but training and preparation are essential.
• Rinjani is not a walk in the park — the long distances, altitude, and weather can be demanding.
• With proper fitness, mindset, and support from our guides and porters, you’ll be rewarded with one of the most beautiful trekking experiences in Southeast Asia.

09:30 AM – Begin Descent to Segara Anak Lake (2,000 m)

• After breakfast and a short break, begin your descent from Plawangan Sembalun Crater Rim (2,639 m) toward Segara Anak Lake — a journey that takes about 3–4 hours.
• This is one of the most technical and hazardous trails on the mountain.

• The trail also passes steep, exposed slopes where footing can be unstable, especially in dry conditions.

• 12:30–01:00 PM – Begin Ascent to Senaru Crater Rim (2,641 m)
• After lunch, you’ll leave the lake area and begin the steep climb to Plawangan Senaru Crater Rim.
• The trail begins gently along the lake’s edge but quickly turns into a demanding uphill path with rocky, uneven surfaces.
• This section is known for its steep gradients, exposed ledges, and several narrow cliffside sections that require extra caution.
• Along the way, you’ll encounter iron ladders installed in particularly vertical sections — these metal steps provide safer passage through sharp rocky slopes.
• Although sturdy, the ladders are steep and require full concentration and both hands for balance.
• Your Green Rinjani guide will assist you closely, ensuring that you maintain a safe, steady pace with rest stops every 30–45 minutes.
• Some areas are narrow and slightly exposed to the open crater wall, so guests are advised to stay alert and follow their guide’s instructions carefully.
• This part of the trek is one of the most physically demanding of the descent route, but also one of the most visually striking — with sweeping views of Segara Anak Lake below and Mount Baru Jari framed by the high crater walls.

03:30–04:00 PM – Arrive at Plawangan Senaru Crater Rim (2,641 m)

• After 3–4 hours of climbing, you’ll reach the Senaru Crater Rim — your final campsite of the trek.

• The air becomes more humid, and you may hear the sounds of birds, cicadas, and long-tail macaques playing in the trees.
• The trail can be slippery in sections due to roots and fallen leaves, so trekking poles are recommended for balance.
• 10:30–11:00 AM – Lunch Break at Pos 1 (around 1,300 m)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – 4D3N Summit Rinjani Trek (Sembalun to Senaru)

Is Mount Rinjani open all year round?

No. Mount Rinjani National Park is open from April to December and closed from January to March during the rainy season.
This closure allows time for environmental recovery and ensures trekker safety.
During these months, no trekking permits are issued by TNGR.

How difficult is the 4D3N Summit Rinjani Trek?

The 4-day trek is challenging but well-balanced — ideal for trekkers who want to experience all the highlights of Mount Rinjani:
the summit, Segara Anak Lake, hot springs, and both crater rims.

The route includes steep climbs, long walking days, and the demanding summit climb, but the extra day spent at Segara Anak Lake allows you to rest and recover, making it far more comfortable than the shorter 3D2N version.

Can beginners join the 4-day trek?

Yes — this program is the best choice for first-time Rinjani trekkers who have prepared physically and mentally in advance.
It allows a slower pace, more rest at the lake, and enough time to enjoy each landscape.

However, it still requires good stamina and determination.
Beginners are advised to do light hiking or cardio exercises for at least 2–3 weeks before the trek.

Is the summit climb safe?

Yes — it’s safe when guided by Green Rinjani’s experienced team.
The summit ascent starts at 2:00 AM and takes 3–3.5 hours.
The trail is steep, sandy, and cold, requiring careful steps in the dark.

Safety Tips for Summit Day:

• Always stay close to your guide and group
• Use a headlamp (mandatory)
• Wear warm layers, gloves, and a windproof jacket
• Keep a steady pace — rushing increases fatigue and risk of slipping
• Avoid walking alone ahead of your team

Your Green Rinjani guide will monitor your pace and condition carefully until you safely return to camp.

What altitude will we reach?

• Sembalun Village (Start): 1,156 m
• Sembalun Crater Rim (Camp 1): 2,639 m
• Mount Rinjani Summit: 3,726 m
• Segara Anak Lake (Camp 2): 2,000 m
• Senaru Crater Rim (Camp 3): 2,641 m
• Senaru Village (Finish): 601 m

You’ll experience a total elevation gain of about 2,100 m from base to summit and a 3,100 m descent down to Senaru — covering all major highlights of Mount Rinjani National Park.

Can altitude sickness occur?

Yes, mild symptoms such as shortness of breath, headache, or nausea can occur above 2,500 m.
To minimize risk:

• Walk slowly and take frequent breaks
• Stay hydrated (minimum 3 liters daily)
• Avoid alcohol and heavy meals before trekking
• Sleep early and get proper rest

All Green Rinjani guides are trained in altitude awareness and first aid.

Do we visit the lake and hot springs?

Yes — you’ll descend from the crater rim to the Segara Anak Lake (2,000 m) and spend the night there.
After lunch, you can walk about 5 minutes to the natural hot springs, where you can soak your muscles and relax after the summit climb.
The water is rich in sulfur and believed to have healing properties.

Do we need a trekking permit?

Yes. All trekkers must hold a valid permit issued by Mount Rinjani National Park Authority (TNGR) via the official eRinjani system.
This permit is strictly checked at all official gates (Sembalun and Senaru).

Green Rinjani handles the entire permit process, including:

• National Park fees
• eRinjani digital registration
• Trekking insurance

To ensure your permit is processed on time, please provide your passport details (full name, nationality, gender, date of birth, and passport number):

• At least 3 days before the trek during regular season
• At least 30 days in advance during high season (June–September)

Mount Rinjani trekking quota:

• 240 international trekkers per day
• 160 local trekkers per day

These slots often fill up weeks in advance, especially during peak months.
Early booking ensures:

• Guaranteed trekking date and permit
• Secured guides, porters, and equipment
• Smooth logistics and no last-minute issues

Permit Fee (included in all packages):

• IDR 200,000 per person per day (2025)
• IDR 250,000 per person per day (2026)

How many hours do we walk each day?

• Day 1: 6–7 hours (Sembalun to Crater Rim)
• Day 2: 8–9 hours (Summit, Lake, and Hot Springs)
• Day 3: 3–4 hours (Lake to Senaru Crater Rim)
• Day 4: 5–6 hours (Descent through Senaru rainforest to village)

Total distance: ±35–40 km over 4 days

What kind of food is served?

All meals are freshly cooked by your porters and mountain chef.
The menu usually includes:

• Fried rice, fried noodles, vegetables, chicken, and eggs
• Fresh tropical fruits and snacks
• Pancakes or toast for breakfast
• Hot drinks: coffee, tea, or hot chocolate

Special diets (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free) can be arranged upon request.

How much water is provided?

Each trekker receives 3 liters of mineral water per day, plus tea, coffee, or chocolate during meals.
All plastic bottles and waste are carried back down in line with Green Rinjani’s eco-policy.

What are the camping conditions?

Deluxe Service (Private Trip)

Perfect for couples, families, or anyone seeking comfort and privacy.
Includes:

• Private guide, cook, and porters
• Hillman Turtle 4 tent with 7–8 cm thick mattress
• Private toilet tent and dining setup
• Upgraded menu with fresh fruits and soft drinks

Standard Service (Group Trip)

• Shared toilet tent and dining area
• Licensed guide and porter team (1 porter per guest)
• Shared group transport

Note: Green Rinjani never merges groups with other companies and operates all treks independently.

Why does Green Rinjani limit group size?

Smaller groups mean:

• Better guide attention and safety
• Less environmental impact
• A quieter, more personal trekking experience

Ratio:

• 1 guide per 4 trekkers (Deluxe)
• 1 guide + 1 assistant per 6 trekkers (Standard)
• 1 personal porter per guest

Are toilets and showers available on the mountain?

Private toilet tents are provided for every group.
Showers are not available, but you can enjoy a natural bath at the Segara Anak Hot Springs near the lake.

What’s the temperature like?

• Sembalun Base: 20–28°C
• Crater Rim: 8–12°C
• Summit (early morning): 0–5°C
• Lake Area: 14–18°C

Pack warm layers — especially for summit morning and nights at higher altitude.

Are guides and porters trained?

Yes. All Green Rinjani guides and porters are licensed by TNGR and trained in:

• First Aid & Mountain Rescue
• English communication
• Eco-trekking & waste management
• Guest safety and hospitality

They are all local residents from Senaru and Sembalun, employed with fair wages and full welfare support.

Is insurance included?

Yes. All Green Rinjani packages include basic trekking insurance that covers accident compensation and emergency evacuation during the trek.
For extra protection (international travel or medical coverage), we recommend purchasing personal insurance that covers trekking above 3,000 m.

What if the weather turns bad?

If it’s light rain, trekking continues safely with proper rain gear.
If TNGR closes the trail due to extreme weather or volcanic activity, your trek will be postponed or rescheduled to the next available date.
Refunds are not possible after permits are issued, but Green Rinjani will assist in rearranging your trek free of charge.

Can children or older trekkers join?

Yes, the 4D3N trek is suitable for trekkers aged 12 years and above with good health and stamina.
The slower pace and extra night at the lake make it ideal for families and older trekkers.
For lighter options, we recommend:

• 2D1N Senaru Crater Rim Trek – scenic and short
• 3D2N Senaru–Torean Jungle Trek – no summit, more nature focus

What’s the best route for a full Rinjani experience?

• Sembalun–Senaru (4D3N): Full circuit — summit, lake, and both crater rims.
• Sembalun–Torean (3D2N): Includes summit and lake, descends through scenic valley.
• Senaru–Torean (3D2N Jungle Trek): Focused on nature and hot springs, no summit.
