2 Days Rinjani Summit trek is the fastest and most intensive way to reach Indonesia’s second-highest volcanic peak (3,726m). It is a high-speed “express” route designed for experienced hikers with excellent physical fitness.
The hike will start from Sembalun and return by the same trail. This program is a challenging hike. Read about the Mount Rinjani Travel Guide before deciding on your trek.
Highlights – 2 Days Summit Rinjani.
- Trekking through the open savanna and grasslands of Sembalun
- Camping at the Sembalun Crater Rim ( 2,639m ) with breathtaking views of Segara Anak Lake and the surrounding landscape.
- Experience a spectacular sunrise from the summit of Mount Rinjani
- Panoramic views of Lombok, Bali, and Sumbawa islands from the peak
The 2-Day Itinerary (via Sembalun)
This route starts and ends in Sembalun Village, covering roughly 25 km in total.
Day 1: Sembalun to Crater Rim (Plawangan Sembalun)
Distance: ~8–10 km | Time: 6–8 hours.
- Start at 8:00 AM from Sembalun (1,156m). The trail begins with gentle grasslands before a steep climb through the “Seven Hills of Regret”.
- Camp overnight at the Sembalun Crater Rim (2,639m) for sunset views.
Day 2: Summit Push & Descent
Distance: ~15 km | Time: 10–12 hours total.
- 2:00 AM: Start the “Summit Attack” in the dark. This 3–4 hour climb is on loose volcanic sand where you often take two steps up and one step back.
- 6:00 AM: Sunrise at the Summit (3,726m).
- 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM: Descend back to the crater rim for breakfast, then all the way down to Sembalun village.
Critical Considerations
- Difficulty: Rated as hard/advanced. It requires walking an average of 8.5 to 11 hours per day.
- Preparation: Experts recommend stair climbing and cardio training for at least 3 weeks before the trip.
- Temperature: Nights at the rim drop to 8-10°C, while the summit can be as cold as 5-7°C with high winds.
- Guide Services: Professional operators like Rinjani Samalas or Green Rinjani provide full logistics, including porters, meals, and gear.
Comparison with 3-Day Trek
While the 2-day trek is efficient, it skips the crater lake (Segara Anak) and hot springs. If you want a more balanced experience that includes the lake, the 3-Day 2-Night package is the most popular choice among travelers.
