Sembalun Crater To Mount Rinjani Summit Information
The trail from Sembalun crater rim to the summit of Mount Rinjani is known for its challenging terrain and steep ascent. The trek involves climbing up steep scree slopes, crossing rocky ridges, and navigating through loose volcanic ash, making it a physically demanding and mentally challenging trek.
From the Sembalun crater rim, the trail to the summit begins at an altitude of around 2,639 meters above sea level and climbs up to the peak of Mount Rinjani, which stands at 3,726 meters above sea level. The trekking distance is around 3.8 kilometers, and the trail can take anywhere between 5-7 hours to complete, depending on your fitness level and the weather conditions.
The trek starts with a steep ascent up the side of the crater rim, which involves scrambling over loose rocks and boulders. As you climb higher, the terrain becomes increasingly difficult, and you’ll need to use your hands and feet to climb up steep slopes and rocky ridges. Along the way, you’ll encounter several rest stops where you can take a break, hydrate, and catch your breath before continuing the ascent.
As you near the summit, the terrain becomes even more challenging, with steep inclines and loose volcanic ash underfoot. The final push to the summit involves scrambling over large boulders and negotiating a steep ridge to reach the peak.
