Mount Rinjani
If you enjoy climbing in stunning natural mountains, you should definitely include exploring Mount Rinjani in your adventure plan. You will be guaranteed to be satisfied with the experience you have because Gujung Rinjani boasts an amazing view along its exploration route.
The Sembalun Sevent Summits include Mount Rinjani as one of their peaks. Mount Rinjani has a height of 3726 meters above sea level. The mountain’s beauty makes it a tourist icon in Lombok and Indonesia.
As one of the conditions for getting a Seventh Summit certificate in Lombok, climbers must visit Mount Rinjani’s summit. Among all the peaks, Mount Rinjani is the heaviest on the median. Therefore, climbers must take the 2-day program.
Especially for professional runners, they can do it in 27 hours, but this is of course very tiring and draining, and must require enough water and food as provisions.
We provide a nice, complete package for those of you who want to explore Rinjani and its six other peaks. We begin with transportation to the airport or various locations on the island of Lombok. Other necessities, such as lodging in Sembalun, camping equipment, and food needs while climbing, as well as guides and porters, are ready to accompany you and provide the best service.
Itinerary
Arrival day
We will pick you up in the Lombok area or at your place of arrival and residence. Then drop to Srmbalun and check in at the inn.
The first day
Overview: Sembalun, Pos 1, Pos 2, Post 3, Post 4, and Pelawangan.
Duration: 10-12 hours
Wake up in the morning, have breakfast at the inn where you are staying, and continue the journey to the Gunung Rinjani national park office for registration.
We will drop you off from your accommodation using an open cup car at the border between the community plantation and the national park area. If you want to save energy and time, you can take a motorcycle taxi to Pos 2 Semablun.
The journey from the starting location to the second post takes 2.5–3 hours. Meanwhile, if you use an Ojek service, it only takes 30 minutes. In addition to speed, the advantages of utilizing your power taxi service don’t exhaust you at the start of the journey.
Depending on the situation and conditions in the field, we will hold lunch between post 2 and post 3. If it goes normally, you’ll arrive at the crater rim between 4 and 5 o’clock.
Porters are responsible for carrying camping equipment, food, drinking water, and other climbing necessities. The service includes cooking and providing meals.
The second day
Wakeup again. At around 1:30 a.m., start your day with breakfast and proceed to the summit of Mount Rinjani.
The first hour will be quite a heavy and steep climb. Therefore, you should use a guide when climbing to Mount Rinjani. The track is not particularly dangerous in the middle of the fairly flat path to the top, but you still need to exercise caution. In the last hour before reaching the top, the track is very tiring because it consists of gravel and sand, which makes it difficult for climbers to walk. The experience here is akin to taking a step forward and a step back. This is what makes the journey to the top very tiring.
Make sure to capture your photo on top of Mount Rinjani as proof that you have completed the peak. Once you’ve taken in the breathtaking vista from the summit, proceed to descend towards Pelawangan.
Arriving at Pelawangan, food and drinks are waiting. Next, make a trip down to Sembalun. If you are too tired, a motorcycle taxi service can be an option from Post 2 to Sembalun.
