Rinjani Summit Trekking
Tour Name : Rinjani Summit Trek
Theme : Adventure & Nature
Duration : 3D / 3N Rinjani Tour Package
Services : Porter, Guide, Trekking Equipment
This
program will lift you up to the highest point in Lombok, the majestic
Rinjani. The adventure starts at Sembalun point, as it is much closer
to the summit compared to Senaru. The trail is dominated by savanna,
giving you the sense of being on a giant green emerald. En-route, you
may encounter some domestic animal wandering around in the meadow.
However, the walk can be very hot as there is hardly any forested trail.
So prepare your hat and sun cream.
Day 1
Hotel – Sembalun (strating point / Post I) – Rim
You
will be picked up at your hotel at about 6 AM (presumably you stay in
Senggigi) and be transferred to Semabalun. As soon as you arrive at
Semabalun at about 9.30 AM, light and quick breakfast will be served
before starting the noteworthy adventure.
After walking a few hours,
you will take a quite long break and lunch at Post II. The hike will be
continued to the rim. Tent will be set here for over night.
Day 2
Sembalun Rim – Summit
The trek to the
top begins as early as 3 AM to enjoy the sunrise but to stay away from
strong ice cold wind and haze. To say the least, the trek is rather
more difficult because of the volcanic pebbles that scattered on the
trail. Nevertheless, the beauties of the sun and the moon during right
time are awesome. Reaching the top by the sunrise at 6 AM and stay
there for 1 hour to enjoy it and the rest of the magnificence. Back to
the base camp
Sembalun Rim – Lake – Senaru Rim
After breakfast,
leave the rim for the lake. Arrive at the lakeside around midday, laze
around the lakeside or pay a visit to the near by hot spring and plunge
yourself into it to get cured, as the local believe it so. After
recharging your energy at the hot spring, the journey continues to trek
up to Senaru rim. Sunset is gorgeous from this point. Tent will be set
here for overnight.
Day 3
Rim – Senaru
After
breakfast, leave the rim for Senaru. On the way, experience the typical
flora and fauna, features of tropical rain forest. You may encounter
birds, various types of butterflies, gray monkeys, and occasionally the
endangered species of black ebonies, and deers. Beside, you may also
see orchids and other kinds of flowers and trees. Be at Senaru at
afternoon and drive back to hotel.
