Gunung Baru is the name of the new volcano
which emerged in the center of Segara Anak Lake. People believe that
Gunung Baru is the navel of Mt. Rinjani. That is why if Gunung Baru
erupted it will not harm the people of Lombok unless the eruption is
from the peak of Mt. Rinjani.
* Segara Anak Lake
Segara Anak Lake is so wide it appears like the sea with its blue
water. The name Segara Anak means child of the sea. Segara Anak Lake
holds various mysteries and invisible power.
* The Peak of Rinjani
The people of Lombok believe that the peak of Mt. Rinjani is where
Dewi Anjani, the queen spirit and ruler of Mt. Rinjani lives. To the
south-east from the peak in a sea of dust called Segara Muncar is
the invisible palace of the queen Dewi Anjani and her followers.

Recommended Guidelines For Proper Porter Treatment:
* Porters wages should be paid – IDR 250.000/day for all climbing
routes.
* Loads should not exceed 25 kilos – Porter carries 20 kg for the
company and 5 kg of their own gear.
* Porters receive the full amount of tip intended for them – A
transparent tipping procedure in which each crew member receives
their tip directly is the best method to ensure this.
* Porters are outfitted with proper clothing and equipment.
* Porters have proper shelter and sleeping equipment - Each porter
is required to have a sleeping bag and adequate space in sleeping
quarters is provided.
* Porters are given adequate food and water – Porters should be
given access to water and at least two meals a day while climbing
Rinjani Volcano or other volcano in Indonesia.
* Number of crew should stay consistent throughout the trip –
Porters should not be overloaded in order to send other crew down
early.
* Sick or injured porters are properly cared for – An ailing porter
should receive the same treatment as a sick climber would.
* We are all god creatures and we need to treat people as what we
are. Its about humankind.
