The trekking start by passing the plantation and enter the forest. Once past Mondokon Lolak shelter ( third Shelter which are at the level of a 2000 m.dpl ) that took a time about 5 hours, we will arrive at Pelawangan Senaru that we can reach after walking for 2 hours from third shelter.

After registering at the guard enterance of Sembalun, Trekking Tour will begin by entering the vast savanna and going through the 3 main shelters, it took a time about 4 hours.
Path of Sembalun is a sloping path, but the trekking path is very difficult anyway, because the trekking we passed is a vast expanse of savanna that make our bodies quickly exhausted by the scorching sun.

Before reaching the third shelter ( Padabalang Shelter ) we will be faced by a crossroads which separates the right way to the Penyesalan hill and the left way to Penderitaan hill, in this case, we go ahead to the Penderitaan Hill. we will pass nine hills before arrive in Pelawangan Sembalun (2639 m.dpl). The journey is about 4 hours.  

Pelawangan Sembalun is a junction or the last shelter to reach the top of mount Rinjani or go down to Sagara Anak Lake. In this place we can set up a tent with a view of Sagara Anak lake and mountain Barujari just below the Camp.

The trekking tour to the top of Mount Rinjani by climbing the crater rim is a tiring journey, with a loose sandy, make our step backwards hampered because when we step, we will go down a half step, it was a fun trip at the end of a height of 200 meters before the summit.
