The views from the summit are breathtaking, and the surrounding scenery is simply stunning. The trek takes you through lush forests, past beautiful waterfalls, and to the edge of a stunning crater lake.

The sense of accomplishment that comes with reaching the summit is unparalleled, and the memories will stay with you for a lifetime. Additionally, the trek allows you to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of modern life and reconnect with nature. It is a true escape and a chance to challenge yourself physically and mentally while experiencing the beauty of one of Indonesia’s most iconic natural wonders.

Is trekking Mount Rinjani hard?

Trekking Mount Rinjani is considered to be a challenging and strenuous trek, owing to its steep inclines, long distances, and varying altitudes. The most popular route for the trek begins from Sembalun Lawang village, and the ascent to the summit takes around two days. The first day involves a steep climb up to the Plawangan Sembalun crater rim, which is about 2,639 meters above sea level. The ascent over on this day can be demanding, with a constant incline and a distance of around 11 kilometers.

How many days do I need to trek Mount Rinjani? (Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

If you’re planning to trek Mount Rinjani, there are several options to choose from, depending on your fitness level and time constraints.

Two nights: The most popular and recommended option is the 3-day, 2-night trek, which allows you to summit the peak, visit the crater lake, and relax in the hot springs.
Three nights: For those with a more leisurely pace, the 4-day, 3-night trek offers the same locations with more free time to enjoy the mountain.
One night: The 2-day, 1-night tour from Sembalun is the most challenging option, which includes the option to summit at sunrise. However, it’s recommended to give yourself more time on the mountain if you’re not in excellent shape. The 2-day, 1-night trek from Senaru is the easiest option (but still very, very steep), providing incredible views of the crater but not reaching the summit or lake. This trek is perfect for those who want to experience Rinjani but cannot handle longer treks lasting more than one night.

The best time to trek Rinjani is from April until December. April and December are shoulder seasons, where you may experience more rain. It is mostly pleasant from May to July.

We do recommend wearing your own hiking boots. However, if you have sneakers or running shoes with you that you feel entirely comfortable trekking in, then you should be fine. The terrain is varied and at times quite challenging, so having footwear that has strong traction and is comfortable is essential.

Remember that you will be wearing these shoes for a few days. Appropriate hiking boots are highly advised; however, we have had many trekkers hike in sneakers. In case the profile of your soles is quite flat, or if you are thinking of walking in street-style sneakers such as Converse or skater shoes, as the track can get very muddy very quickly. If you have a history of spraining your ankle(s) or want to be on the safe side, we recommend strapping your ankles during the trek with strapping tape for extra support.

Where can I leave the luggage that I don’t need?

You can leave your personal luggage that is not required for the trek in a secure locker, where you will start your trek. At the end of the hike, you will return to where you were, and your personal items await you. Make sure to only pack as little as you need for the hike itself. By the second day, any extra weight won’t go unnoticed (we learned this the hard way).

What should I bring on the trek? (frequently asked questions rinjani)

We advise bringing one light day pack per person that includes clothes for sunny, windy, cold, and rainy weather, along with a first aid kit, medication, and additional snacks or drinks that you’d like to have for yourself on the trek. Remember to pack warm clothes.
