Rinjani Trekking Packages: Open, Private or International

Planning a Mount Rinjani trek and not sure whether to join an open trip, book a private trip or choose an international-guest package? This guide walks you through the Rinjani trekking packages Demen Liburan runs from Sembalun, East Lombok: three trip types, three routes and trips from 2 days 1 night to 4 days 3 nights. Every package is run by our local team and includes a guide, porters, camping gear, meals, the national park permit and transfers.

Rinjani trek packages: open, private or international?

  • Open trips: join a group of 6–8 hikers on a set date. Good for solo travellers and couples who want a lower price and new trail friends. The final price depends on the group size and is confirmed once the group is set.
  • Private trips: just your group, on dates you choose. The price per person drops with every extra person.
  • International guest packages: private trips for overseas visitors with English-speaking guides, priced in Indonesian Rupiah per person.

If you are visiting from abroad, the international packages are built for you, with the same routes and inclusions plus an English-speaking guide.

Rinjani trekking routes: Sembalun, Sembalun – Torean and Timbanuh

The Sembalun route starts in Sembalun village (about 1,150 m) and crosses wide savanna via Posts 2, 3 and 4 to the Sembalun crater rim (about 2,639 m), where you camp with sunset over Segara Anak lake. The summit push starts around 1 am to reach the 3,726 m summit for sunrise.

Sembalun – Torean follows the same climb, then descends to Segara Anak (about 2,000 m) for a night by the lake near natural hot springs, before leaving through the Torean valley, nicknamed "Jurassic Park", past Penimbungan waterfall.

Timbanuh, on the quieter southern side, climbs through rainforest to Post 3 Momot Yamin. It does not go to the main summit; instead it reaches Tembesi peak, plus Orplas peak on the 3-day trip, with close views of Segara Anak and Mount Barujari.

Trip lengths: 2D1N, 3D2N or 4D3N

  • Sembalun 2D1N: a fast summit trip for hikers who already trek regularly.
  • Sembalun 3D2N: the same route at an easier pace, with a second night on the mountain.
  • Sembalun – Torean 3D2N: summit, lake camp and the Torean trail on an efficient schedule, for experienced hikers.
  • Sembalun – Torean 4D3N: the most complete and gentlest trip, and our pick for first-timers. See the 4D3N Sembalun – Torean trek for international guests.
  • Timbanuh 2D1N and 3D2N: quiet southern trails for experienced hikers.

These counts are days on the mountain. Each itinerary also starts with a pickup and a night in Sembalun (or at our base camp for Timbanuh) and ends with a drop-off at the airport, harbour or your hotel. Hour-by-hour itineraries are on each package page.
