Rinjani Mountain Summit Trek

Climbing all or part of Rinjani is very popular among visitors to Lombok. Very few attempt independent travel, as all guesthouses and travel agents on the island can arrange trips, including camping equipment, porters, food and other necessary supplies and logistics.

Most visitors arrive via the village of Senaru (600m), on the northern side of the mountain and thus closer to the main resort area of Senggigi. The other possible entry point is Sembalun Lawang (1150m), on the eastern side, which is closer to the summit. Within the park the only way to get around is to hike. Porters can be arranged to carry your supplies.

Most visitors only opt for the hike to the lower crater rim (2600m), about 7 hours one way from Senaru, which can be done fairly comfortably overnight. Going down from the crater rim to the lake (2000 m) will generally require spending two nights, while going up to the summit will require at least two nights. Many operators offer three or four night hikes covering the lot.

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.

The three days summit hike on recommended itinerary is the advance trekkers program as we provides the 3 days summit hike only.

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.
