Day 1 — Sembalun Village to Sembalun Crater Rim (2,639 m)

The Sembalun–Torean Summit 3 Days 2 Nights hike begins in Sembalun Village, the most popular starting point for reaching the summit of Mount Rinjani. This first day focuses on a steady ascent through wide open landscapes, gradually preparing trekkers both physically and mentally for the summit attempt early the next morning.

Starting from Sembalun Village at around 1,156 meters above sea level, the trek begins across vast savanna terrain with gentle rolling hills and long open views. This section is often considered deceptively challenging due to its exposure to sun and wind, yet it offers a clear and gradual introduction to Rinjani’s scale and terrain. The trail passes through Pos 1, Pos 2, and Pos 3, where trekkers take regular breaks, enjoy meals, and maintain a controlled pace.

After lunch at Pos 3, the landscape begins to change dramatically. The trail enters the famous Seven Hills (Bukit Penyesalan) section, a series of steep ascents and descents that test stamina and determination. Although physically demanding, this section rewards trekkers with increasingly dramatic views across the savanna and surrounding mountain ridges.

By mid to late afternoon, the trail climbs steadily toward Sembalun Crater Rim (2,639 m). Upon reaching the rim, trekkers are welcomed by one of the most iconic panoramas on Mount Rinjani, overlooking the vast caldera, Segara Anak Lake, and the volcanic cone of Mount Barujari.

The day concludes with dinner at the crater rim campsite and overnight rest in cool mountain temperatures. As the sun sets, the landscape transforms into a dramatic silhouette, setting the stage for the summit attempt in the early hours of Day 2. This first day of the Sembalun–Torean Summit 3D2N hike perfectly balances physical challenge and scenery, laying a strong foundation for the adventure ahead.

Day 2 Summit Push Segara Anak Lake Propok Camp

Day 2 is the most demanding and defining day of the Sembalun–Torean Summit 3 Days 2 Nights trek, combining a sunrise summit ascent with a long traverse across the crater and a final push to Propok Camp via the Torean route.

The day begins very early, around 02:30 AM, with a light breakfast at Sembalun Crater Rim. Warm clothing, gloves, and a headlamp are essential as temperatures can drop close to freezing. At approximately 03:00 AM, trekkers start the summit push toward the peak of Mount Rinjani (3,726 m).

The ascent follows a steep volcanic scree trail, where loose sand and gravel make progress slow and physically demanding. The climb is completed in stages, with short breaks to control breathing and conserve energy. As the trail narrows near the top, the views gradually open across Lombok and the surrounding islands.

Around sunrise, trekkers reach the summit of Mount Rinjani, standing at 3,726 meters above sea level. From the peak, panoramic views stretch across Segara Anak Lake, Mount Barujari, Lombok Island, Mount Agung in Bali, and Mount Tambora in Sumbawa on clear days. This moment marks the highest point of the entire trek and a major achievement for every participant.

After spending time at the summit

, the descent begins back to Sembalun Crater Rim. Although faster than the ascent, careful footing is required due to loose gravel. Upon returning to camp, a proper breakfast is served, followed by packing and preparation for the long descent into the caldera.

The trail then drops steeply toward Segara Anak Lake, passing through rocky and volcanic terrain with dramatic crater views. By late morning or early afternoon, trekkers arrive at the lakeside, where lunch is served. There is time to rest, enjoy the scenery, and, if conditions allow, briefly visit the natural hot springs to ease tired muscles.

In the afternoon

the journey continues beyond the lake toward Propok Camp, marking the transition into the Torean Valley route. This section takes approximately 3 hours, following river paths, forested trails, and volcanic valleys. The terrain becomes greener and more enclosed, offering a striking contrast to the exposed summit environment earlier in the day.

Arrival at Propok Camp

is usually in the late afternoon. Surrounded by forest and towering cliffs, this campsite provides a peaceful and sheltered setting for the night. Dinner is prepared at camp, followed by overnight rest, allowing the body to recover before the final descent through the Torean Valley on Day 3.

Overview — Day 2

• Route: Sembalun Crater Rim → Summit → Segara Anak Lake → Propok Camp
• Distance: ~10–11 km
• Duration: 12–14 hours
• Difficulty: Very Difficult
• Highest Point: 3,726 m (Mount Rinjani Summit)
• Elevation Gain: +1,087 m
• Elevation Loss: –1,900 m

Day 2 is the longest and toughest day of the trek, requiring strong stamina, mental focus, and steady pacing. It delivers the complete Rinjani highlight sequence—summit, crater, lake, hot springs, and transition into the Torean Valley—within a single unforgettable day.

Day 3 — Propok Camp Torean Valley Senaru / Transfer Out

Day 3 marks the final descent of the Sembalun–Torean Summit 3 Days 2 Nights trek, guiding trekkers through the dramatic landscapes of the Torean Valley, widely considered one of the most scenic sections on Mount Rinjani. This day is less physically demanding than Day 2 but remains adventurous, with river crossings, waterfalls, and narrow jungle trails.

After breakfast at Propok Camp, the trek continues downhill following the Torean route. The trail winds through lush tropical forest, volcanic valleys, and riverbeds, offering a completely different atmosphere compared to the open savanna and exposed summit terrain experienced earlier in the trek.

As the descent progresses, trekkers pass beneath towering cliffs and steep canyon walls often compared to Jurassic-style landscapes. The path includes multiple river crossings, stone steps, and occasional slippery sections, especially after rain. Careful footing is required, but the terrain is shaded and cooler, making for a more comfortable walking environment.

Along the way, the trail passes several waterfalls and natural resting points where trekkers can refill water bottles, wash up, or simply enjoy the peaceful jungle surroundings. Wildlife sightings are possible in this section, and the constant sound of flowing water adds to the sense of remoteness and immersion.

By early to mid-afternoon, the trek reaches the Torean exit point, where the trekking journey officially concludes. Your Green Rinjani driver will be waiting to arrange transfers to Senaru Village, your hotel, or your next destination across Lombok.

This final day provides a memorable and rewarding conclusion to the Sembalun–Torean Summit 3D2N trek, showcasing Mount Rinjani’s most dramatic jungle scenery and leaving trekkers with a strong sense of completion after crossing the mountain from summit to valley.

Overview — Day 3

• Route: Propok Camp → Torean Valley Exit
• Distance: ~7–8 km
• Duration: 4–5 hours
• Difficulty: Moderate
• Highest Point: ~1,600 m (Propok Camp)
• Elevation Loss: –800 to –1,000 m

Day 3 focuses on a scenic jungle descent through the heart of the Torean Valley, combining forest trails, river crossings, and waterfall scenery as the final chapter of the Mount Rinjani summit crossing.
