Mount Rinjani Summit | 2-Day Sembalun Trek
The fastest route to the top of Lombok — Go2Rinjani's 2-day Sembalun summit trek takes you from the open savannahs of Sembalun valley to the summit of Mount Rinjani at 3,726 m, Indonesia's second-highest volcano, with panoramic views over Segara Anak lake and across to Mount Agung in Bali.
The Most Direct Path to the Rinjani Summit
The Sembalun Route is the preferred choice for trekkers targeting the Mount Rinjani summit. Starting from Sembalun valley at 1,156 m, the trail climbs through open savannah landscapes and traditional Sasak farmland before reaching Plawangan Sembalun — the crater rim at 2,639 m — and pushing to the summit at 3,726 m. Go2Rinjani's certified local guides lead every step of the ascent, ensuring a safe, well-paced, and rewarding climb.
