Ascending Mount Rinjani typically takes two to four days. However, for elite mountain runners, highly fit individuals, and experienced alpine climbers, Em Adventure Sembalun offers an exclusive, extreme 1-day summit push.

This non-stop, ultra-trekking package strips away the camping logistics. You will start at midnight, push straight up the mountain in the dark to catch the magnificent sunrise from the 3,726-meter peak, and descend back to Sembalun by midday.

The 1-Day Summit Itinerary

This timeline is highly dependent on your physical speed and endurance. The pace required to complete this is significantly faster than standard trekking groups.

  • 01:00 AM (1,250m): We drive you 15 minutes to the National Park entrance gate. The trek begins immediately, passing straight through POS 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the dark.

  • 03:30 AM – 04:00 AM (2,639m): Arrive at Plawangan Sembalun (Crater Rim). This rapid ascent takes 2 to 4 hours. We take a short break here to hydrate and eat energy snacks.

  • 06:30 AM (3,726m): Begin the rapid descent back down the scree slopes.

  • 07:15 AM (2,639m): Arrive back at the Crater Rim. We will pause here for a prepared, hot breakfast to refuel your exhausted muscles.

  • 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM (1,150m): Arrive back at your hotel in Sembalun village. Take a hot shower, enjoy a celebratory lunch, and check out before our driver transfers you to your next destination in Lombok.
