Rinjani via Sembalun

The Sembalun route to Rinjani is a favorite route that offers a combination of vast savannah beauty and physical challenges. Starting from Sembalun Village (1,156 meters above sea level), this route passes through grasslands that stretch to Post 3 before steeply climbing to Plawangan Sembalun at an altitude of 2,639 meters above sea level. Hikers are treated to spectacular views of green valleys, the Indian Ocean panorama, and the iconic summit trail. Although the trek is heavy, especially on the ascent to the summit, the experience of watching the sunrise at the Rinjani Summit (3,726 meters above sea level) makes this route an unforgettable journey.
