The Ultimate Express Ascent to 3,726 MASL
Conquer the peak of Mount Rinjani with our fastest and most direct summit route. Designed for experienced hikers and those with an excellent level of fitness, this 2-Day, 1-Night adventure maximizes your time while delivering the awe-inspiring views Rinjani is famous for.
Starting in the rolling savannahs of Sembalun, we’ll trek up to the Plawangan Sembalun Crater Rim to camp under the stars. On day two, a pre-dawn push takes you to the summit at 3,726 meters just in time to watch the sunrise over the Wallace Line, illuminating Bali, Sumbawa, and the mesmerizing Segara Anak crater lake.
The Summit Sunrise: Stand at 3,726m and watch the morning light reveal spectacular panoramic views spanning across three islands.
Sembalun Savannah: Hike through Lombok’s beautiful golden grasslands and sweeping valleys.
Crater Rim Camping: Sleep above the clouds at Plawangan Sembalun (2,639m) with front-row seats to Segara Anak Lake and the active Mount Baru Jari volcano.
Express Route: Compresses the iconic Rinjani climb into just two days—perfect for fit, adventurous travelers on a tight schedule.
Whenever you arrive in Lombok (Airport, Kuta, Senggigi, or the Gili Islands harbors), the Hans Lombok Trekking team will pick you up and transfer you to your accommodation in Sembalun. You’ll have a briefing with your guide to prepare for the trek, check equipment, and rest up for the big hike.
