Rinjani Lodge

Rinjani Lodge is the best accommodation option in Sembalun for trekkers heading up Mount Rinjani and travelers seeking a cool highland escape. Set at 1,100 meters elevation in the stunning Sembalun Valley, the lodge offers comfortable bungalows with hot showers (essential at this altitude — it gets genuinely cold at night), clean bedding, and a restaurant serving hearty meals to fuel pre-trek carbo-loading. The views from the property are staggering: the Sembalun Valley stretches out below with rice paddies and farmland, framed by the imposing bulk of Rinjani itself. The lodge can arrange Rinjani trek packages with licensed guides, porters, and all equipment — prices range from IDR 2,800,000 for a 2D/1N rim trek to IDR 5,500,000 for a 3D/2N summit package. Even if you are not trekking, the lodge makes a wonderful base for exploring the valley: Pergasingan Hill sunrise hike, strawberry farm visits, and cycling through Sasak villages. Rooms start at IDR 350,000 per night for a standard room, IDR 550,000 for a deluxe bungalow. WiFi exists but is unreliable — embrace the digital detox. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable about Rinjani conditions and can give you the most current trail reports. Book directly for the best rates.
