  • 17:30 PM – Arrive at Sembalun Crater Rim Campsite. Upon reaching the campsite at 2620m AMSL, your porters and guide will set up camp and start preparing dinner. Meanwhile, you’ll have time to relax, explore the ridgeline, and capture stunning views.
  • 18:30 PM – Dinner will be served as the sun sets above the clouds, offering a truly unforgettable experience. As night falls, the sky will come alive with stars, providing incredible stargazing opportunities. We recommend getting an early night, as the next day will be equally demanding.

Useful Information:

  • Hydration: Staying hydrated is essential. Carry a water bottle that can be refilled at rest stops. Your guide will provide water and isotonic drinks throughout the day.
  • Sun Protection: The open savannah offers little shade, so please wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from direct sunlight, even if it’s cloudy.
  • Temperature Drop: Once you reach Sembalun Crater Rim, the temperature will drop significantly, especially after sunset. Make sure to change into warm, dry clothes upon arrival at camp to stay comfortable.
  • Accommodation: You’ll be sleeping in shared tents, equipped with comfortable sleeping mats, fresh sleeping bags, and pillows. If you prefer your own tent, please contact us in advance to arrange a private setup.
  • Meals: Enjoy freshly prepared meals by your porters, who will cook dinner under the stars at Sembalun Crater Rim. Let us know in advance if you have dietary requirements such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or Halal preferences.
  • Stargazing: The crater rim offers stunning opportunities for stargazing. Take some time after dinner to admire the night sky before getting an early rest for the next day’s challenges.

Day 2 Summit, Lake Segara Anak, & Senaru Crater Rim

Day 2 is the most demanding yet rewarding part of the trek, covering a total distance of 13.5km with an elevation gain of 1,756m. The day begins early with a challenging climb to the summit of Mount Rinjani, where you’ll be greeted by breathtaking panoramic views at sunrise. After descending to the Sembalun Crater Rim, the journey continues down to Segara Anak Lake, where you can relax by the lakeside and soak in the rejuvenating hot springs. In the afternoon, you’ll ascend to the Senaru Crater Rim, your campsite for the night, with stunning views of the surrounding valleys.For those who prefer more time at the lake, it’s possible to camp there instead. However, this results in a longer Day 3 and a later finish time. Let your guide know your preference as you plan the day’s itinerary!


Approximate Timeline:

  • 02:00 AM – Wake-up, prepare for summit. Hot drink/fill thermos flasks. Check equipment and head-torches.
  • 02:30 AM – Leave campsite, commence summit trek. Prolonged ascent with arduous volcanic sand/rocky terrain.
  • 05:30 AM – Aim to reach the summit around 05:30-06:00. Timing depends on individual and group fitness levels. There will be short 5-10 minute stops en route to the summit, but it’s important to keep moving, especially in the cold. Start with warm layers and adjust as needed. Sunrise typically occurs between 05:45-06:30 AM.
  • 07:00 AM – Leave the summit after enjoying the sunrise. Descend back to Sembalun Crater Rim campsite. Descent typically takes 1.5-2 hours, depending on fitness levels.
  • 09:00 AM – Cooked breakfast at Sembalun Crater Rim campsite.
  • 10:00 AM – Commence walking down into the crater.
  • 13:00 PM – Arrive at the lake. Relax by the lakeside and visit the hot springs.
  • 14:00 PM – Lunch and relaxation by the lake.
  • 15:00 PM – Commence trek to Senaru Crater Rim.
  • 18:00 PM – Arrive at Senaru Crater Rim campsite.

Useful Information:

  • Summit Climb: The ascent to the summit is steep and challenging, with loose volcanic sand and rocky terrain. Trekking poles are highly recommended to provide stability during both the climb and descent.
  • Layering for Warmth: Temperatures can be extremely cold at the summit, especially before sunrise. Start with warm layers, including gloves and a hat, and adjust as the trek progresses.
  • Hydration & Snacks: Staying hydrated is critical on Day 2 due to the demanding physical effort. Your guide will carry snacks, and thermoses with hot drinks will be available during summit stops.
  • Altitude Awareness: If you feel symptoms of altitude sickness (headache, nausea, dizziness), inform your guide immediately. Rest and hydration can often help alleviate mild symptoms.
  • Hot Springs: The thermal springs by Segara Anak Lake are an excellent way to relax tired muscles. Ensure you have a towel and swimwear if you plan to bathe.
  • Camping Options: Depending on group preferences, you can choose to camp at Segara Anak Lake or ascend to Senaru Crater Rim. Staying at the lake allows for more time to relax but makes Day 3 longer and more physically demanding.
  • Weather Preparedness: Rain is possible at any time of year, particularly in the late afternoon. Waterproof clothing and gear are essential for staying dry.

Day 3 Descend to Senaru Village

On the final day of your adventure, you’ll descend from the breathtaking Senaru Crater Rim (2,620m AMSL) to the charming village of Senaru (600m AMSL).

The shaded trail provides cooler temperatures and peaceful surroundings, perfect for reflecting on the incredible journey you’ve just completed.

The descent features well-placed rest stops, allowing you to hydrate, enjoy snacks, and perhaps spot curious monkeys or other wildlife along the way.
