Don’t want to spend a long time on Rinjani, try climb Rinjani in one day!
The One Day Trek to the Senaru Crater Rim is an intense, extreme-endurance adventure designed for travelers who want to witness the dramatic crater views of Mount Rinjani but do not have the time—or the desire—to camp overnight. Starting late at night from Senaru Village, you will ascend rapidly through the rainforest in the dark to reach the 2,641-meter rim by sunrise, before immediately descending.
Because this compresses a multi-day hike into a single 14-hour round trip, this route is strictly for experienced, highly fit trekkers. It is not suitable for beginners, those afraid of heights, or anyone prone to altitude sickness.

Detailed Itinerary
Night Ascent: Senaru Village to the Crater Rim
(Breakfast and Lunch Included)
The trek kicks off just before midnight to ensure you reach the rim by daybreak.
-
11:00 PM (Briefing): You will meet your guide in Senaru Village for a crucial safety briefing and gear check.
-
11:30 PM (The Climb Begins): Armed with headlamps, you enter the dense tropical rainforest. The trail is steep and demanding from the beginning. Hiking in the dark through the forest means you will rely on the sounds of the jungle and the guidance of your team. The ascent gains over 2,000 meters in elevation over roughly 6.5 hours of continuous, sustained climbing.
-
06:00 AM (The Sunrise Reward): You break through the tree line and arrive at the Senaru Crater Rim just as the sun begins to rise. The sky’s changing colors illuminate Lake Segara Anak, the Mount Baru Jari volcanic cone, and on clear mornings, the Gili Islands and Bali on the horizon. You will have time to rest, take photos, and eat a well-deserved breakfast prepared by your guide.
The Descent: Crater Rim Back to Senaru After soaking in the views and resting your legs, the second half of the challenge begins.
-
08:00 AM (Starting the Descent): You will leave the rim and head back down the exact same trail. While the descent is faster, it is punishing on the knees and requires careful footing over roots and steep dirt paths, which are now visible in the daylight.
- 2:00 PM (Finish Line): After approximately 6 hours of downhill trekking, you arrive back at Senaru Village. A private transfer will be waiting to take you to your next destination, such as Senggigi or the harbor.
