2-Day Mount Rinjani Trek to Second Summit, Lombok

You camp at the crater rim and watch the sunrise over the volcanic lake from your tent door.

A 2-day trek on Mount Rinjani in Lombok that reaches the Senaru Crater Rim at 2,640 meters, with one night camping at altitude and views of Lake Segara Anak directly from the campsite. A local guide in your choice of language, all trekking and camping equipment, park entry, meals and trekking insurance are included. Children from age 10 are welcome. The route suits all fitness levels and avoids the longer, more demanding summit push.

Step-by-step itinerary

Trek and camp at Mount Rinjani summit

• Hike to crater rim camp

• Watch sunset and sunrise
• Enjoy bonfire under stars
• View volcanic crater lake

The experience

The trek starts with a hike to the Senaru Crater Rim, where you'll camp at 2,640 meters above sea level. From your tent, you watch the sunset over the volcanic landscape and wake to the sunrise illuminating the crater lake below. A bonfire burns through the night while you sleep under the stars, and the campsite sits high enough that you see Lake Segara Anak, the crater's freshwater lake, spread across the caldera floor directly from where you're camped, not from a distant viewpoint or a trek down to the shore.

Your guide speaks English, French, German or Dutch and travels with a porter who carries the shared equipment. The operator provides the camping tent, sleeping bag, mattress, foldable chair and table. You bring personal gear and day supplies. Meals follow local recipes and are prepared at camp. Trekking insurance and the national park ticket are included, so the only logistics you arrange separately are transport to the meeting point on the morning of day one.

The route is graded for all fitness levels and stops short of the main summit, making it the friendliest way to experience Mount Rinjani's altitude and volcanic landscape. The trek is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or pregnancy, but age is no barrier: children from ten years old trek regularly on this route.
