(includes up to the crater, down to the lake, up to Sembalun rim, then
summit).
Senaru to Crater Rim (Plawangan Senaru): ~7.5 km to 9 km, taking 5–7
hours.
Senaru Crater Rim to Summit: Involves descending to the lake (2.8 km)
and ascending from the Sembalun crater rim (2.2 km to lake + 2.5 km to
summit).
Direct Path (Alternative): A very challenging, less common direct
path can exist, but most 3D2N or 4D3N treks starting in Senaru to the summit
use the Sembalun route for the final ascent.

Elevation Gain: The hike starts around 600m and peaks at 3,726m.
Route Features: Dense jungle, savanna, and a steep descent to Segara
Anak Lake.
Hike from Sembalun (1,100 m) to the Rinjani Summit (3,726 m) over 2–3
days, featuring a 9km, 6-7 hour trek through open savanna to the
Sembalun Crater Rim (2,639 m). The final, challenging 3-4 hour summit push
starts around 2:00 AM. The route offers panoramic views, with the most
common, steep, and demanding hike best suited for experienced hikers.

Duration: 2-4 days, with 2D1N being the fastest, most intense option.
Distance: Approx. 9 km to the crater rim, plus the 3.5-hour summit
push.
Difficulty: Very difficult/challenging, requiring high fitness due to
steep, sandy, and windy conditions, especially during the final ascent.

(2,639 m, base camp), and the 3,726 m summit.
Best Time: April to December

to see the sunrise, return to the camp for breakfast, and descend back to
Sembalun.
Tips for Success
Packing: Bring cold-weather gear (down jacket, gloves, beanie) for
the summit, as it is very cold and windy.
Fitness: Prepare for steep, loose, sandy volcanic ash on the final
climb, which often results in sliding back for every two steps taken.
Alternatives: Consider a 3-4 day, 3-night hike that includes a visit
to the crater lake and hot springs (via Torean or Senaru routes).
