Before entering the trekking route, guests will complete a brief health screening and registration process. After a short trekking briefing from your guide, your Rinjani expedition officially begins.

Trek Through the Savanna

The initial section of the trail winds through the famous Sembalun savanna, an expansive landscape of rolling grasslands framed by towering mountain ridges.

As you walk, enjoy uninterrupted views of Lombok’s highlands, gentle breezes, and the peaceful atmosphere that makes this route one of the most beautiful approaches to Mount Rinjani.
