Summit Climb & Return

Approximately 10 hours trekking, 2:00 AM – Wake-Up and Light Breakfast:

• Start your day early with a wake-up call at 2 AM. Enjoy a light breakfast and a hot drink to prepare for the trek.

2:30 AM – Trek to Mt. Rinjani Summit:

• Leave the Senaru Crater Rim campsite and begin your ascent to the summit of Mount Rinjani. The 3-4 hour trek is steep and often consists of gravelly volcanic sand, making it a challenging climb. Temperatures can vary significantly, so dress in layers and bring a warm hat, beanie, and gloves.

5:30 AM – Summit Arrival and Sunrise:

• Aim to reach the summit of Mt. Rinjani between 5:30 and 6:00 AM, just in time to watch the sunrise over Lombok. The summit offers exceptional views, including distant Mt. Agung in Bali, the three Gili Isles, and neighboring Sumbawa. Enjoy hot coffee or tea from a thermos while taking in the breathtaking panorama. Spend about 30-45 minutes at the summit, capturing photos and enjoying the scenery.

7:00 AM – Descent to Senaru Crater Rim Campsite:

• Begin the 2-hour descent back to the Senaru Crater Rim campsite. The downhill trek is easier than the ascent, providing opportunities to take photos and admire the views in daylight.

Brunch at Basecamp:

• Upon returning to the campsite, your porters will have prepared a well-deserved cooked brunch, along with coffee and tea. Spend about an hour relaxing and enjoying breakfast.

Trek Back to Senaru Village:

• Start the trek back to Senaru Village, retracing the route from Day 1 in reverse. Although downhill, the steepness of the path requires caution. The trek takes 5-6 hours, with regular breaks for rest and rehydration. A hot lunch will be provided during the descent.

End your adventure with a sense of accomplishment, having experienced the stunning beauty and challenging terrain of Mount Rinjani.
