Rinjani Second Summit 2D1N via Sembalun
Sembalun — Senaru
The Second Summit at 3,200 m in two days, up the Sembalun side and down to Senaru. A traverse rather than an out-and-back, so you see both halves of the mountain without the climb to the main peak.

Important notes
Read this before you book. The right preparation decides how comfortable the whole trip feels.
What to bring yourself
- Warm jacket and a windproof layer
- Gloves and a beanie
- Headlamp with spare batteries
- Trekking boots with firm soles
- Trekking trousers and a rain jacket
- Sunglasses and sunscreen
- Water bottle, snacks, and personal medication
Fitness
Steady fitness rather than experience. The climbs are long rather than technical, but day two is a full one: a 03:00 start for the Second Summit, then the complete descent to Senaru by mid-afternoon.
Difficulty: Moderate
Best season
April — October
Outside this window the trail is often closed by rain and cloud.
- Maximum altitude 3,200 m. This route reaches the Second Summit, not the 3,726 m main peak — the 3D2N trip does that.
- It does not reach Segara Anak lake or the hot springs either; the 3D2N and 4D3N trips do.
- You stay in Senaru the night before, drive round to the Sembalun gate in the morning, and walk out to Senaru on day two. Day two is the long one: the Second Summit and the whole descent in a single day.
- The Deluxe package adds a premium hotel, senior guides, a premium tent and sleeping bag, a camp chair and table, and a headlamp.
