4 days and 3 nights summit via Sembalun End at Senaru
Mt. Rinjani trekking is the most trekkers’ program choice and suitable for beginners. You will spend 4 days and 3 nights for Mt. Rinjani trekking starting from Sembalun village to Senaru crater lake, Hot spring, Crater Rim Summit and finish at Senaru village.
OVERVIEW
The trek will start from the Sembalun village with an altitude of 1100 m and will also take place in the Sembalun village. This route will be pampered with a vast landscape, a little long path and a bit hot during crossing the meadow, to get to the edge of the crater with the altitude of 2600 m you will need a lot of stamina because you have to climb five hills which are very high and challenging. On the second day is the struggle to reach the summit with a height of 3.726m, starting from 3 a.m in order to get the sun rise over the summit,
In addition to the summit you will also be visiting and bathing in the lake and hot spring. You will also be camping in the second crater which landscape is incredible and we make sure it is amazing for you, and you will descend the tropical rainforest as the last day of the Rinjani Mountain adventure.
of course this is very impressive because you can already conquer the second highest mountain in Indonesia, and you capture your moment by taking pictures.
