Mount Rinjani 3-Day Sembalun Trek — Summit, Lake & Hot Spring
Go2Rinjani's most popular package — the 3-day Sembalun summit lake trek combines the full Mount Rinjani experience in three days: summit push to 3,726 m, descent to the sacred shores of Segara Anak lake, and a soak in Rinjani's volcanic hot springs. All fully supported by certified local guides, porters, and permits.
The Complete Mount Rinjani Experience — Summit, Lake & Hot Spring
The 3-day Sembalun route is the most complete Mount Rinjani trek for trekkers who want it all — without spending four days on the mountain. Starting from Sembalun valley at 1,156 m, the route climbs through open savannah landscapes to Plawangan Sembalun crater rim (2,639 m), pushes to the summit at 3,726 m, then descends into the sacred crater to camp beside Segara Anak lake and soak in the volcanic hot springs at its shore. Optional Torean Route descent available for trekkers who want a different trail on the way out.
What to Expect on This Trek
Sembalun Savannah Trail
The trek begins across the open savannah landscapes of Sembalun valley on the eastern slopes of Mount Rinjani National Park — wide, dramatic terrain shaped by traditional Sasak farmland and volcanic activity.
Mount Rinjani Summit at 3,726 m
Pre-dawn summit push from Plawangan Sembalun crater rim to the summit of Mount Rinjani at 3,726 m — Lombok's highest peak and Indonesia's second-highest volcano — arriving at the top for sunrise above the clouds.
Descent to Segara Anak Lake
After the summit, descend into Mount Rinjani's sacred crater and camp beside Segara Anak lake — a turquoise volcanic lake at 2,008 m, revered in both Sasak and Balinese tradition as a place of spiritual significance.
Volcanic Hot Springs
Soak in the natural volcanic hot springs on the shores of Segara Anak lake — a well-earned reward after the summit push, and one of the most memorable experiences on any Mount Rinjani trek.
Optional Torean Route Descent
Trekkers who want a different trail on the way out can opt for the Torean Route descent — a scenic valley trail from Segara Anak lake to Torean village on the northern slopes of Rinjani National Park.
