Reaching an elevation of 3,126 meters, this Rinjani trekking route goes beyond the typical crater rim trek, offering a more demanding yet highly rewarding journey for active and adventurous trekkers exploring Mount Rinjani National Park.
A New and Less-Traveled Route
Introduced in 2022, this Rinjani Second Summit trekking route provides a fresh perspective of the mountain. The trail follows quieter and less-crowded paths, leading toward the impressive Mount Sengkareang. This makes it a perfect option for those looking for an off-the-beaten-path Rinjani trek and a more peaceful hiking experience away from the busy main routes like Sembalun or Senaru.
Challenging Yet Rewarding

However, every step of this Rinjani adventure trek is worth the effort. It’s an ideal choice for hikers who want a more challenging alternative while still enjoying the untouched natural beauty of Mount Rinjani Lombok.

Our Small-Group Mount Rinjani Trekking Experience
At Jou Trekking, we focus on delivering a more personal and enjoyable Mount Rinjani trekking experience by keeping our groups small and well-organized. This approach allows every hiker to fully enjoy the journey, with better support, flexibility, and comfort on the mountain.
Small Groups for a Better Experience
We intentionally limit the number of participants on each trek to maintain quality and safety. Most of our groups include 4–5 trekkers, with a maximum of 6 people per trip.
With fewer people, our guides can give more individual attention, adjust the pace when needed, and create a more relaxed trekking environment. This makes a big difference, especially on challenging sections like the summit push.
Friendly and Well-Balanced Groups
Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with friends, we carefully organize groups to ensure a good mix of participants.
Many of our guests come from different countries, creating a social and welcoming atmosphere. It’s common for trekkers to start as strangers and finish the journey as friends, sharing an unforgettable adventure together.
Professional Local Guides and Porters
Every trek is supported by a skilled local team with extensive experience on Mount Rinjani. Our guides are trained in safety procedures and mountain navigation, while our porters handle all logistics, including camping gear, food, and equipment.
This allows you to focus on the experience — enjoying the scenery, the climb, and the overall adventure — without worrying about the details.
Support Team Structure
We carefully arrange our team based on group size to ensure comfort and efficiency throughout the trek:
- 4 trekkers: 1 guide + 4 porters
- 5 trekkers: 2 guides + 5 porters
- 6 trekkers: 2 guides + 6 porters
This balanced setup ensures you receive enough support while maintaining a smooth and enjoyable trekking pace.
More Than Just a Trek
Climbing Mount Rinjani is not only about reaching the summit — it’s about the entire journey. From stunning crater views to the unique experience of camping under the stars, every moment is part of the adventure.
