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.
