Sembalun Torean Trek

Sembalun (700 MASL)
Rinjani Summit (3726 MASL)
07:00 AM
7 + 6 + 10 + 2.5 hours

What is this trip about?

Step off the beaten path and into the heart of Mt. Rinjani on a four-day trek that blends raw adventure with unforgettable beauty. Begin in the open savannas of Sembalun, climb to the crater rim for a sunset above the clouds, and reach the summit at dawn for sweeping views over Lombok and beyond.

Descend to the emerald lake hidden in the caldera, soak in natural hot springs, and camp by the water’s edge in complete serenity. Then venture through the spectacular Torean valley—where waterfalls, deep jungle, and narrow ridgelines create a dreamlike final chapter to your journey.

🌋 How It Works

  • Begin your journey across the open savannahs of Sembalun
  • Hike through quiet forest trails, often shared with playful macaques, before emerging into sweeping alpine views
  • Conquer the steep ascent to the crater rim (2,639 m) and arrive at camp just in time to watch the sun set behind the volcano
  • Sleep above the clouds with a front-row view of Mt. Rinjani and its dramatic caldera
  • Sunrise panorama from the second-highest volcano in Indonesia
  • Descend to Segara Anak Lake and bathe in natural hot springs surrounded by crater walls and views of the active Mt. Baru Jari
  • Enjoy your second night of camping by the lake
  • Traverse the incredible Jurassic Park valley, with its lush cliffs, narrow ledges, and otherworldly jungle scenery
  • Pause for lunch at the Penimbungan Waterfall viewpoint, then continue through tropical forest teeming with monkeys, birds, and exotic plants
  • End the trek with a gentle descent to Torean Village
