The Ultimate Mount Rinjani Trekking Guide (2024 Update)

Picture of Jane And Stephen

  • Last Updated: December 12, 2023

A Mount Rinjani trekking tour is not for novice hikers or casual travellers. But if you’re ready for an epic 3-day journey to the summit of the second highest volcano in Indonesia, here’s everything you need to know before you go in our guide.

At 3,726 metres above sea level, Mount Rinjani looms large over the entire island of Lombok in Indonesia.

Of the 130 volcanoes in the country, Rinjani is the second-highest (topped only by Mount Kerinci on Sumatra).

Rinjani’s ominous silhouette is a constant reminder of the powerful forces rumbling just beneath the surface of the earth.

That power is what draws hundreds of intrepid hikers to Rinjani every day.

Why Do a Rinjani Trek?

Could you handle a rinjani trek, sembalun or senaru: where to start, how many nights on rinjani, what’s the food like on a rinjani trek, where do you sleep on rinjani, what does a rinjani trekking tour cost, how to choose the best rinjani trekking service, what’s included on a mount rinjani tour, tips for trekking mount rinjani, rinjani trekking packing list, save this pin for later.

The tough hike to the crater rim is rewarded by absolutely magnificent views.

Rocky black soil at the summit drops off into a lush valley filled with purples so deep and greens so bright they don’t look like they should exist in nature.

Lake Segara Anak, nestled in the bottom of the gaping crater, is a deep turquoise, echoing the spectacular colour of Lombok’s seas.

On the edge of the lake sits an active volcano, Mount Barujari, which steadily spews threatening clouds of smoke into the air.

Mount Rinjani Trekking

And at night, the sky is blanketed with stars so thick they look painted on.

While the views inspire awe, the most compelling reason to trek Mount Rinjani is to challenge your body and your mind, leap firmly out of your comfort zone, and be able to shout “Hell yes, I did it!”

If that sounds good to you, read on for everything you need about…

How to Plan Your Epic Mount Rinjani Trekking Adventure

I’ll admit, we went into the Mount Rinjani trek with a bit of a cavalier attitude. Sure, we’d read the stories about how hard it was supposed to be, but we’re experienced trekkers with decades of challenging mountain hikes behind us.

We’ve trekked all over Canada, Europe, and even in Vietnam .

How much harder could trekking Mount Rinjani possibly be?

As it turns out, trekking Rinjani is hard. Really freaking hard.

The Rinjani trek starts with a climb of 1500 m over 8 km. Most of that elevation change takes place during in the final 4 km, which take about 4 hours.

Yep, that’s just one measly kilometre an hour.

To make matters more difficult, there is next to no trail maintenance, so the route is sandy, slippery, and ridiculously steep.

Unless you’re a trail running hero or an actual superhero, be prepared to have your will and your body pushed to their limits on your way up Mount Rinjani.

And that’s just the first day.

The second day starts in the middle of the night, so hikers can summit for sunrise. To get the summit, there’s another 1000 m of elevation gain, along a narrow trail of slippery loose scree.

It’s cold up there, too. Even in August, the temperature hovers around freezing.

After all the climbing, the descent should be a relief. Instead, it seems to go on for days, requiring every ounce of hamstring strength you can muster, plus knees of steel, and an excellent sense of humour.

Trekking Mount Rinjani

If you come away without any scraped knees or sore muscles, you’re definitely part mountain goat!

So, could you handle trekking Rinjani?

If you’ve read all of this and you’re thinking “Hell, yeah! Bring it on!” then keep reading.

If you’re still not sure, check out my 7 Essential Tips For Surviving A Mount Rinjani Trek →

What Are The Options For a Rinjani Trekking Tour?

There are two main points of entry to Rinjani National Park.

You can ascend from the village of Sembalun or from Senaru. On three- and four-day hikes, you depart from one village and descend to the other.

We highly recommend starting in Sembalun because of the way the trails are configured.

The first day of ascent from Sembalun is steep and sandy. It looks like it would be absolutely brutal going in the opposite direction.

Likewise, the descent to the crater lake is so steep and rugged, that it would be a real leg-breaker going the other way.

If you want a more off-the-beaten track experience, book a private tour and ask about one of the less-used routes, like the trails from Aik Berik or Torean. We wish we had known about them before our trek!

Three Days, Two Nights

The most popular option (and the one we recommend) is the 3-day, 2-night trek . This gives you just enough time to climb to the summit and also visit the crater lake and hot springs.

If you’re in no rush, consider the 4-day, 3-night option , which goes to the same locations but provides a little more free time to relax and enjoy Mount Rinjani.

Two Days, One Night

The 2-day, 1-night tour from Sembalun includes the option to summit at sunrise. If you’re in amazing shape and love to punish your machine, go for it!

Otherwise, take pity on your poor body and give yourself more time on the mountain.

The 2-day, 1-night trek from Senbaru takes trekkers to the crater rim opposite the summit. This is the easiest (not to say that it’s easy) of the Mount Rinjani trekking options.

You don’t get near the summit or the lake but it does provide incredible views of the crater. If you think you can’t handle a longer trek but still want to experience Rinjani, this is probably the best option.

If you book the full 2-day, 1-night tour on Klook they will pick you up from anywhere in Lombok and provide everything for you.

BONUS –  Booking ahead of time ensures you won’t miss out on the tour, and get the best price too! And just for NOMADasaurus readers, if you use the Klook discount code  “NOMADS10”  on the website when checking out, you’ll get $10 off your first booking!

Mount Rinjani Trekking

Be aware that “one night” or “two nights” refers to number of nights on the mountain. Most Rinjani trekking companies encourage you to spend a night in Senbaru before the tour to get an early start. This hotel is often included in the price, but be sure to check!

Private Tours and Hiking Rinjani Without A Guide

While it is technically possible to trek Mount Rinjani without a tour or a guide, it is actively discouraged both by the government and the community. Unless you are an extremely experienced hiker and have hiked in the tropics before, don’t even consider it. If you’re injured on the mountain without a guide or porters, you’ll be in some serious trouble.

If you do decide to trek Rinjani independently, please sign in at the park office and pay the entrance fee. Though it’s questionable whether the fees are used to maintain Rinjani, signing in is for your own safety.

On our day-one lunch break, we were astonished to see full-on camp kitchens being set up by all the guides and porters on the mountain.

In Canada, you’re lucky to get a squashed peanut butter sandwich for lunch on a long hike.

On Rinjani, you get a heaping plate of fried vegetables, tofu and tempeh, a pile of freshly cooked rice crackers, all the rice you can eat, plus a massive fruit plate for dessert. And that’s just the vegetarian option!

Mount Rinjani Trekking Meals

This meal was not unusual. Everything we ate on Rinjani, and everything we saw being served to fellow trekkers, was freshly cooked and plentiful. There was so much food, we were rarely able to finish our meals.

You’ll sleep snuggled in a tent at a campsite on the crater rim or by the lake.

Our tent was clean and modern, if a little bit short for our long bodies! The sleeping bags had been freshly laundered and the camp pillows were also clean.

You won’t find much solitude at your campsite though, since hundreds of other trekkers will be camping right alongside you.

There’s a huge range of prices for trekking Rinjani, depending on which company you go with, where and when you book, and which tour option you choose. I saw prices quoted anywhere between $80 and $450 US for similar tours.

Avoid the cheapest companies, as many don’t provide essential services like an experienced guide, good sleeping bags, garbage pack-out, and a toilet tent.

You can save money by booking once you’re already on Lombok. Just make sure you know which Rinjani trekking company you’re going with so you can ask the essential questions and check their reviews.

If you don’t have time to wait around on Lombok looking for a tour with availability, it is best to book ahead . Check out some of the tours I’ve linked to on this page.

Rinjani Trekking Porters

Budget a little extra for tipping. After you see how hard your porters and guide work, you will be happy to supplement their incomes.

A minimum of 100,000 IDR (around $8 US) per guide/porter from each hiker is a good guideline.

Choose your Mount Rinjani trekking package carefully. Yes, you can pick up el cheapo tours after you arrive in Lombok but you tend to get what you pay for on Mount Rinjani.

I recommend ignoring the cheapest options and spending a little more to ensure you are comfortable and safe on the mountain.

Hajar Trekking took excellent care of us during our Mount Rinjani tour. We can enthusiastically recommend them.*

Hajar grew up in Senbaru and he cares deeply about the mountain and the future of tourism there. Our guide, Adi, was funny, informative, and always put our safety first.

He has been up the mountain hundreds of times, knows every rock and tree root on the trail, and was patient with our endless stops for photos and videos.

Mount Rinjani Trekking

The two porters who took care of us were just amazing, too, working their butts off to lug our camping gear and food up the mountain and to get our campsite set up and perfect before we arrived.

These are the things that should be included in your Rinjani trekking package. If they aren’t, look for another company.

  • One English-speaking, licensed, experienced guide
  • One porter per person in your group
  • Meals, snacks, soft drinks and water
  • Tent and sleeping bag
  • Transportation to and from any town on Lombok
  • Transportation between Senbaru and Sembalun
  • Hotel stay in Senbaru the night before the trek

Some companies provide a few nice-to-have extras. This is what we got:

A toilet tent allowed us to do our business in private and to bury our waste. Without a toilet tent, you take your chances in the bushes where privacy is very hard to come by.

A camping pillow which helped us get a better night’s sleep.

Two camping chairs that kept us out of the thick Rinjani dust at mealtimes.

Winter jackets to keep us warm at the top of the mountain. Even in August, the summit was around 5 degrees celsius! Brrrr.

We recommend having a good backpack for hiking as well .

Rinjani Trekking

Headlamps to make the ascent to the Rinjani summit possible. A headlamp leaves your hands free to carry trekking poles or help you scramble up the steepest sections.

Trekking poles to save your knees on the steep descents and give you extra ability to balance on the often treacherous trails.

Other Essential Questions To Ask About Your Rinjani Trekking Package

What do the porters carry? Usually, hikers carry all their personal items (clothes, toiletries etc) and the porters carry food, water and camping equipment.

What is the group size? We were on a private tour, but if you go with a group, be sure to ask about the group size. The larger groups on the trail tended to be noisy and experience more delays.

What do they do with garbage? You are going to go through a lot of food and water on the trail. Make sure your tour company pays their porters to carry your garbage out, instead of dumping it or burning it on the mountain. There is a lot of garbage on Rinjani – please don’t add to it!

Who runs the company? What is their story? We love to travel with private companies run by local people. They tend to care deeply about the environment and the longevity of their business and less about earning a quick buck.

Request trekking poles. We had never trekked with poles before but they were indispensable for this trip. They’ll help keep you upright through the sandy, slippery slopes and will save your knees after hours of steep descents.

Be prepared. The trail will probably be harder than you think. Take your time, stopping every few steps to catch your breath if you need to. If you just keeping taking the next step and then the next, you will eventually make it to the top. Read up on our top hiking tips for beginners for more help.

Be OK with not summiting. Don’t be ashamed to say “no” to the sunrise summit trek. Plenty of people don’t go up! If the first day nearly killed you, stay in your tent and rest. There is plenty of exciting hiking to come without risking injury or exhaustion just to see the summit.

Don’t get too cocky on the descent. The trail down is steep and precarious. It’s easy to slip and fall and even easier to injure your knees. Just because the porters are running down the trail in flip-flops doesn’t mean you have to do it too!

Be respectful. Try to stay aware on the trail, even when you’re exhausted. Let faster hikers go by you and always move over for porters. Remember, they are working while you are there for fun!

Don’t add to the Rinjani litter problem. It’s no secret that there is a lot of garbage on Mount Rinjani. Bring a ziplock bag with you and please pack out your own toilet paper, baby wipes, cigarette butts and other personal garbage. If you want to do more, bring a garbage bag and pick up rubbish along the trail.

Bring as little as possible. If you think you’ll survive without something, leave it behind! You’ll regret the extra weight when you’re on your 1200th metre of ascent for the day!

  • Hat, gloves & scarf (it’s very cold at the top)
  • Good hiking shoes (running shoes are not grippy enough)
  • Headlamp (for the night hike to the summit)
  • One/two sweat-wicking t-shirts
  • One pair of shorts
  • One pair of long pants
  • Toothbrush & toothpaste
  • Sun hat (if you don’t have one make this easy DIY hat )
  • Lip sunscreen (our lips got burned – not a good look)
  • Socks & undies
  • ID and cash for tipping

Optional items:

  • Base layer (it gets freaking cold at the summit)
  • Baby wipes (if you pack them in, pack them out)
  • Soap or hand sanitizer

That’s everything you need to know before you book your Rinjani trekking tour. If we missed something or if you have questions, ask away in the comments section below!

Disclaimer: We were guests of Hajar Trekking for our Rinjani trip. But we would never recommend something we didn’t love ourselves and you know Jarryd and Alesha wouldn’t let us get away with it either!

Wow, this guide is incredibly detailed and informative! I’m planning to tackle Mount Rinjani in 2024 and this guide has already helped me so much in planning my trip. The route descriptions and tips on acclimatization are especially useful. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

The track to Rinjani is getting more and more difficult, bro, after a fairly large earthquake in Lombok, several trekking routes, especially from the lake to the Senaru Crater, were damaged and you need to be careful when climbing because rocks often fall.

thank you for promotion mount rinjani in lombok we hope many hiker come to rinjani.

We are currently in Lombok to do the hike. We went to the park office without guide, they refused to sell tickets. At least now you have to book a guide to enter.

Great post! I did the 27K race of the Rinjani 100 a few months ago. It’s pretty much the same thing only that you race up from Sembalun all the way to the crater rim and back with a cut-off time of 9 hours. It was one tough but incredible adventure! Love the blog, keep it up, guys.

Great article. Having hiked Gunung Rinjani back in my twenties (late 1990’s) with 4 experienced local friends it was interesting to read this report. Back then , we did not encounter a single “western” tourist (only 3 or 4 groups of religious pilgrims) or a single piece of rubbish throughout the 4 days (it was probably off season). We carried all the cooking gear and basic fishing equipment ourselves and had to rely on our most experienced group member to find the few scatterered water holes for our drinking water. Most of us were wearing flipflops though I think – and yes it was pretty hard, but youthful enthousiasm and maybe some guardian angels, made that everything went well and the sore muscles just ignored. With one of the guys I even made the sunrise summit hike, barefoot – too slippery for anything else. We spent a day or two resting and fishing carp until we couldn’t eat any more. The lake is considered sacred and so is a nearby mystic cave – I dearly hope they are still being taken care of….and it has not drowned in rubbish and disrespect. On the end of the last day, we did get a big scare: one of our friends had disappeared – with the owner of the very first and lonely litlle warung, I headed straight back to look for him as it was getting dark. Luckily we found him after about half an our, resting next to the path and suffering from exhaustion. In the end everything turned out fine. I have not been since, but reading this article, I would strongly recommend sticking to the recommendations of the article and please be respectful of this place – it is still considered a sacred place by many and who knows, leaving a silent private little prayer just for yourself will pay off more than leaving rubbish or nad vibes.

P.S. Unfortunately I have lost contact with my Chinese/Indonesian friends from Mataram – IF you are reading this by some huge coincidence, PLEASE contact me by email….

This article very helping. Thank you very much for share

We as Lombok people are very grateful for your advice to give tips to the porters. Their task is very heavy not comparable to their daily wages.

Mount rinjani Reopen Again Sice Mart In Same Time With Event Motogp In Lombok Indonesia, In This April are Many Trekker Do. Just We Share The Tips For You. If you would like To Hike You Have To Book Your Trip In Advance. Cause This yeas used Quota.

Where does your luggage stay during the hike, at the hotel you stayed at the night before the hike or?

Hi JP, thanks for your comment. This is a guest post from our friends over at My Five Acres.

I am gathering that is what happens. You can arrange for you luggage to be stored there as long as you book a night there when you return from the hike. This is what has happened with other hikes we have done in other places. Sorry we can not help you more. Please let us know what your outcome is.

All the best.

I hope I will be there some day.

We hope so too. 🙂

This is Really Help full for me thanks A million

Glad the article was helpful. 🙂

Hi, any idea if mt rinjani is open to climb this year particularly in june?

Hi Joven, we are not too sure. Please contact the tour companies. They will be able to assist you. All the best

hi, have you got the certain information for rinjani open day, our schedule is June 1

Hi Sky, we are not too sure. Please contact the tour companies. They will be able to assist you. All the best

Wow, I did not know this place until I read this article. It makes me want to try.

Glad Jane and Stephen could help. 🙂

I plan to climb Rinjani this April, but I check the National Park website, they say they are still closing the climb until the time that has not been determined, I think this has something to do with the earthquake last July.

Maybe it might be or for the rainy season. Hope you get to climb Rinjani another time. 🙂

THANKS TO THIS POST I was able to do my hike to Mount Rinjani, I recently did a 2 days 1-night hike from the aik berik route(1 of the 4 legal routes), it was only a crater rim trek but its worth every second of it. it was a really spectacular experience!

We got the track and cloud forest waterfalls for ourselves because everyone still doesn’t know about it! the Aik Berik route is still ‘virgin’, clean, and not crowded.

Note: Aik Berik Village is the only available route until 2020, and the route will be closed from January to March, so you only have ONE MONTH to go before the mountain closed due to heavy rains.

FYI Aik berik is the only route you can enjoy on mount Rinjani, it’s not possible to reach the summit and the lake but still, you can enjoy Rinjani from a completely different angle. it is already opened on 19th November 2018 and I suggest you go trekking with an eco-friendly company such as RinjaniFoundation.com since this new company has a mission to alleviate poverty around mount Rinjani. They took care of me and my friends from start to finish, they cook the most delicious Indonesian food! check them out.

Thank you so much for sharing. It sounds like you have a blast. Thanks for all the information.

Thank you very much for share the great article for Mount rinjani Trekking Information, Is very helpful and informative.

Glad the article was helpful. Thank you. 🙂

is the trek open at the begining of october?

Sorry not too sure Alina. You will have to contact the companies. This is a review on a tour one of our writers went on. All the best

Hi there, thanks for the informative article! I’m thinking of doing the Mt Rinjani hike in late October, would it be too cold up there? Also, I’m arriving in Bali on a Wednesday and leaving again on a Sunday. Would that be too little time to get to Lombok, do the trek and get back to Denpasar? Cheers, Angie

Hi Angie, That is exciting for your up coming trip. We are not to sure as we have not done this hike. Please contact Jane over at My Five Acres and she’ll be able to help. Thanks. https://www.myfiveacres.com/

I appreciate your post – it really helped me prepare for doing it. I just got back, and while this is fresh in my mind, here are a few things you left out/glimpsed past that may help others:

-Bring a gaiter/handkerchief/face mask if you can – its lightweight but will protect against the insane amount of dust that will get into your mouth/eyes. I had black boogers every night, someone in my group got a piece of debris in her eye, and my throat was perpetually dry from all of the dust. I’d recommend the gaiter+handkerchief combo to battle sweat and dust. -The porters work so hard. I only know the figure for the guides – 35€/trip (3D/2N). The porters definitely make less. TIP YOUR PORTERS AND GUIDES. Yes, I get it, “well, I paid 1.X million and that should be enough”, and “well, they’re used to this”, is bullshit. The money means so much more to them than it does to you – back at home you’d not flinch at the idea of ordering a cup of coffee for 5€, so why not help a human being who is keeping you safe? -Bring a plastic bag to carry your/other rubbish with you. Especially the last day of the 3D/2B you’re only going down and it’s relatively easy (after your legs are jelly, granted) – if we all pitched in and helped pick up stuff and bring it down, the mountain would be so much cleaner. -Take your time and POUND water. For altitude poisoning, you usually take acetazilomide (diamox) to combat it (that’s what I did for my salkantay trek to machu picchu) but the Indonesians are not as aware – I couldn’t find it anywhere in the country. A natural way to help is to breathe deeply, take your time, and drink water like there’s no tomorrow. It’s not a race – it’s a test of will power!

Thank you so much for your tips and advice for future trekkers. 🙂

hi, thanks for the blog, loved to read it 🙂 I did the 4 day/3 night in 2006, just me and a guide plus a porter, starting from senaru going up the rain forest and coming down again through the savana to sembalun. It was an absolute awesome experience but I wish I had prepared better lol It was early in may and def the wrong time as the nights were brutally cold and the sleeping bag to thin to sleep on the bare ground of the tent. Luckily, I had brought some small heating pads which I put on my belly at night and a survival silver foil, otherwise I would not have made it. Another thing I didn’t know was the heavy rainfall up there at that time of the year, meaning being soaked was the norm starting on day 2 on the climb down the crater… it was always a big challenge to get my sneakers dry again and on the final descent on day 4, I simply gave up and did it in my flip flops like the guys. It rained and I had walk very carefully on the slippery grass that’s why it took us 7 hours to get down! Anyhow, it was a worthwhile experience and I hope to do it again, only this time better prepared. What worries me a bit is that there seems to be a run on rinjani in these days… that’s really bad news, when I went there were hardly any other people… so maybe the wrong time was the right time in the end 🙂

So glad you had a great time. Sounds like you had a great adventure. 🙂

I am going to this Mt. Rinjani trekking on this Saturday, 7th July 18 and this is my first time on trekking. Thanks for your useful information and would prepare for it. Anybody can advice, is there any telecom service provider (mobile phone line) during the journey to the summit?

Glad we could help. Jane wrote a great article for us. Not too sure about the telecom service. Maybe drop Jane any email over at My Five Acres. All the best https://www.facebook.com/myfiveacres https://www.myfiveacres.com/

Extremely helpful article, many thanks guys.

I am traveling in August to Lombok and for sure will try with Mt Rinjani, and will definitely contact Hajar.

The only thing we’ve been told it’s full of trash….such a pity

Hi Alvin, could you please let us know how it was at this time of the year? I like to know about temperatures at night and how many people there were. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the information! I am traveling through Indonesia for two months (so my bagpack is VERY big!). Do you know if it is possible to leave some things at the hostel in Sembalun or I will have to carry my entire bagpack to Mt Rinjani?!?!

There definitely would be Maria. If not at your accommodation, I am sure you will be able to leave it at the tour company’s shop.

KINGS of the MOUNTAIN! Rinjani Trekking Club recently experienced the challenging climb to the top of the Rinjani mountain and would like to salute the fantastic supports extended by porter who help tourist and visitor achieve new heights.

Their incredible fitness allows them to climb, bare feet or with flip flops, and even sometimes run, with heavy loads of equipment and food to ensure the best comfort for visitors. When in difficulty in the last few hundred meters to the top, they patiently wait for you; when hungry, they cook for you; when tired they prepare your camp so that you can rest.

When you came across some groups of courageous climbers not using the support of the porter, you can be assured that their experience of the Mount Rinjani is much more demanding and somehow less enjoyable, since they do not have the comfort of climbing unloaded nor the company of truly warm and welcoming sasak people.

Hello, I’m Jamal

Thank you so much for your information for the trekking , its was helpful article for other climbers ,

Thanks again hope you’re well and good day

Glad we could help. Thanks

Very helpful article. Thank you so much Alesha & Jarryd 🙂 I’m going on 23-28 JUNE 2018. Coming sooooon~so nervous and excited now!!

So awesome. Have a great time. 🙂

Nice information on Rinjani. I don’t think you can get 80 USD for a 3D2N trek in Rinjani, maybe 2D1N to crater rim or something is possible.

Lovely article, very helpful!!

I’m dying to this hike; hopefully I’ll get to it this spring.

What do you reckon is the earliest the hike can be done after the rainy season?

Thanks so much for ready Ester. Our friend Jane wrote this article for us. It does sound like a wonderful hike. Your best option is to message her on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/myfiveacres/ . She’ll be happy to answer you questions. Happy travels. 🙂

Hi I’m Ronie From Rinjani – Lombok Mount Rinjani, Lombok’s highest peak ( 3726 m asl or 12,200 ft. ), draws religious pilgrim and adventure tourist alike. its crater frames a lake, which is 5 miles wide and known as segara anak, which means the lake of child. this crater also contains an active volcano, Gunung Baru.

Thank you for the information Ronie. 🙂

I was lucky enough to hike it in 1997 before the hoards of tourists discovered it. Spent one night in Senaru and went up from there. With no previous hiking experience, just a friend and one guide that we hired, it was physically challenging but SO worth it! I was lucky enough to hardly see many people on the mountain. I don’t think I’d like to do it now.

Wow Julie, what an experience. So happy you got there in the early years. Thank you for your comment. 🙂

Thanks you for sharing your experience. One day I will hike mount rinjani too.

Us too Mickel. It looks amazing. Jane and Stephen wrote a great article for us.

wooow….!That is a wonderfull experienced trek in rinjani Mountain and is a perfect information about All of Rinjani Trekking activity.

I’ve read all the climbers blogs that have been to Rinjani but the most complete info I’ve seen is on this blog. congratulations and success for you.

Thank you so much. Glad this post could help Herman. Jane and Stephen had a great time. Happy travels

Waow really nice article and good experienced. Thank you for your sharing

This looks like a great hike. I recently did a fantastic hike around the crater lake of Quitaloa in Ecuador; an exhilarating adventure in which I also had the chance to soak up plenty of local culture and knowledge.

It does doesn’t it. Jane and Stephen had a blast. We can not wait to trek it now. Your hike in Ecuador sounds amazing. We were in South America for most of the year but unfortunately didn’t see anything of Ecuador. We will have to go back. Happy travels Mark.

This was a brutal hike, but definitely worth it. I actually got a black eye on the hike down. 🙁 It was also before a 3-day music festival, so not a good look! haha

Oh no. How did you get a black eye? We are looking forward to trekking Mt Rinjani one day. Hope you had a blast at the music festival. Lest the trek wasn’t after the festival. 🙂

It’s very easy to find a private taxi or a motorbike to rent at Bangsal Harbour.

Expect to pay around 400,000 IDR total for a private taxi to Senaru. You can also rent motorbikes/scooters in Bangsal for approximately 60,000 IDR per day.

The distance from Bangsal Harbour to Mount Rinjani jump-off point in Senaru is 60km and it’s approximately a 2-hour drive.

WHERE TO STAY BEFORE & AFTER THE TREK

Blue Mountain Cottage is a small homestay in Senaru village which is the beginning point of the Rinjani trekking tour.

The a/c rooms are only 100,000 IDR per night. With two people to a room that’s the same price as a coffee where I am from!

The owner of the homestay was rather humorous and was tremendously helpful in organizing our Mount Rinjani trekking. At this point, I was super excited about our incoming adventure!

WHERE TO BOOK YOUR MOUNT RINJANI TOUR

There are dozens of tour companies that can organize the Mount Rinjani trekking located in the main towns on Lombok including Sengiggi, Mataram, Senaru, and Kuta Lombok.

However, from my experience, it’s best to organize your trip well in advance and the best option is to book online with a professional and experienced tour operator and guarantee a fixed price for your trek.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE TOUR:

  • Return transfers by air-conditioned coach
  • Entrance fee to Gunung Rinjani National Park
  • Licensed English-speaking mountain guide
  • Local porters
  • 3 meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner), snacks, fruits, and unlimited water
  • All camping equipment (double size tent, sleeping bag, air bed mattress, etc.)

WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED IN THE TOUR:

  • Personal expenses
  • Domestic/international flights
  • Meals before and after the trek departure
  • Helicopter in case of an accident
  • Tips and gratuities

The Mt. Rinjani trek requires you to have a good level of fitness and the ability to walk long distances. It’s also strongly recommended to have travel insurance that covers high-altitude hiking.

MOUNT RINJANI TREKKING – DAY 1

The Mount Rinjani adventure began early morning when a driver and our guide met us at the homestay in Senaru to take us to the starting point.

We piled into the back of his ute and drove through some villages for around an hour before arriving at the official entrance office of Mount Rinjani National Park.

We had to provide our names and passport number as a safety requirement so everyone was accounted for at the end of the trek. And then we were off. With a clear view of the volcano in the distance, I was anxious to see what surreal landscapes lay ahead.

The first three hours of the trek were quite mellow, and some thick fog made its way up the mountainside, cooling us down with its breeze. We stopped to rest for an hour while the porters were quick to whip up a big serving of nasi goreng for lunch!

HIKING TO THE MOUNT RINJANI CRATER RIM

It was a further three hours of trekking through some slightly harder terrain before reaching the Mount Rinjani crater rim. This is where we set up camp for one night. Well, by we I mean the porters since they insisted on setting up our tents and preparing dinner for us!

We wandered down a ridge trail to find a good viewpoint for sunset overlooking Mount Rinjani and we were spoilt with an incredible view of the lake and another volcano inside the lake – volcano inception!

The sun was setting behind the opposite ridge from where we were standing, saturating the sky with bright reds and warm, delicate oranges.

Looking back at the campsite was an unreal sight of colorful tents perched on the Mount Rinjani Crater Rim. Talk about a room with a view!

Our guide informed us that we were to start the trek to the summit of Mt Rinjani at 2:30 am the next morning. So, we enjoyed the meal the porters prepared for us and then made our way to the tents to rest up for the big finale.

MOUNT RINJANI TREKKING – DAY 2

Before I knew it I was being woken up by our guide, handing me a banana pancake through the zipper of my tent. It was 2 am and time to start the hike to the summit for sunrise.

One hour in and the five of us had already managed to split up. I must admit, it was not an easy climb. The temperature was below freezing and the wind was howling across the narrow ridge that we had to walk across.

There were lava tubes and large rocks to take cover out of the wind to warm up. The last kilometer to the summit of Mount Rinjani was the most challenging as the ground surface was covered in loose rocks… I was literally taking one step forward, then sliding back down two steps.

The sun was just poking up over the horizon as I reached the summit three hours later. My fingers were frozen and I was struggling to take photos, hoping for the sun to warm me up soon. The five of us regrouped at the summit and we climbed down into the Mount Rinjani crater to get some shots.

It seemed the majority of other trekkers had already started to descend as the cold temperatures and strong winds were almost unbearable. We were the last group to descend from the summit of Mount Rinjani… but it was definitely worth spending more time at the top to witness the sheer beauty as the sun lit up the inside of the volcano.

MOUNT RINJANI CRATER

We arrived back down at our campsite on the crater rim at around 9 am. We had to eat breakfast quickly before making our way down into the crater towards the lake.

At this point, my leg muscles were tightening up, which was not a good feeling knowing we had another full day’s hike ahead.

2 to 3 hours later we made it down to Mount Rinjani Lake where there is a natural volcanic hot spring. We spent some time here to recharge our batteries and to shower off the sweat!

Our porters once again prepared us some mie goreng noddles for lunch and then we set off to climb to the crater rim on the opposite side of Mount Rinjani lake.

The views on this side of the crater were spectacular. The blue lake was glowing and the dense jungle created a naturally moody scene. It’s hard to believe there was another volcano… growing inside a larger volcano… which was then surrounded by a lake. I felt like I was on a Jurassic Park movie set!

HIKING OUT OF THE CRATER

We made it to the top of the Mount Rinjani crater rim 2 to 3 hours later, which is where we thought we were camping for the night… but it so happened our porters had continued on walking down to another campsite to set up.

We were pretty disappointed because we wanted to see the sunset from the Mount Rinjani crater rim, but we didn’t have much choice but to follow our guides to the next camp.

We trekked down for another 1.5 hours before reaching the campsite. Upon arrival, I was absolutely exhausted, so I skipped dinner and went straight to bed.

MOUNT RINJANI TREK – DAY 3

The following morning was the last day of the trek and it was a beautiful walk down through the shaded forest. I spotted lots of monkeys swinging around impressively from tree to tree, wishing I could swing around with them!

The end of the trek ended at the road that lead us down to our homestay. We were all so hyped to have accomplished the 3-day Mount Rinjani trek and we tipped our guide and porters for their efforts!

Trekking Mt. Rinjani is one of the hardest but best adventures I have been on to date and it was a truly unforgettable experience!

Trekking Rinjani will be one of the best adventures you will ever have. But it gets hard on the body. It doesn’t require technical climbing skills. However, for a successful Rinjani climb you should have at a minimum a small backpack; bring a jacket and gloves as it may get chilly up there. Remember proper attire like windproof clothes and appropriate hiking boots or running shoes and headlamp. Also, do not forget your sunblock as you can get sunburn easier the higher you go. Take a look to our Rinjani check list   to have a better idea for packing.

Your  Rinjani trekking guide and porters  will load important camping gear such as tent, sleeping bag, mattress, toilet tent, food & drinks and cooking tools up and down the mountain. You need only bring your own bag. With each backpack varying in size and weight, it would be impossible to estimate how many porters are needed

WHERE TO START YOUR RINJANI TREKKING TOUR

You can go the full route starting either at Sembalun or Senaru. Here is a sample of popular Rinjani trekking tour package itinerary:

Sembalun → Summit →  Crater Lake → Senaru

You start at Sembalun and hike up Rinjani to the crater rim to take your camp. On the second day you start climbing at 2-3 am to the summit of Rinjani. Same as the other way, if you make it, you reach the top towards sunrise and get rewarded with a stunning view. After returning to the camp you descend into the caldera and take a soothening bath in the hot springs (this is really awesome after climbing Rinjani summit at the same day). You hike up at the opposite side of Mount Rinjani to the rim and take your camp. On the third day you descend to Senaru village.

Senaru → Crater Lake → Summit → Sembalun

On the first day, you hike up Mount Rinjani from Senaru to the crater rim and take your camp. On the second day you go down into the caldera, taking a relaxing bath in the hot springs, even swim in the crater lake if you like. You hike up the crater rim at the opposite site and take your camp. On the third day, you start climbing Rinjani summit at 2-3 am. If you make it, you reach the top towards sunrise and get rewarded with a stunning view. After that you trek down to the camp and finally to Sembalun village.

If you have less time and only want to spend two days and one night trekking Rinjani you can start hiking at Sembalun to the rim for a night camp, after climbing Rinjani summit at the second day you go back to Sembalun without descending into the crater. As well as start hiking Rinjani in Senaru heading to crater rim and trek down to Senaru at the last day.

Mount Rinjani Trekking Guide: Everything You Need To Know

Mount Rinjani is one of the most popular and challenging treks in Indonesia. It is located on the island of Lombok and stands at 3,726 meters tall. The Mount Rinjani trek is known for its stunning views of the crater lake, hot springs, and beautiful waterfalls. However, it is not an easy trek and requires a good level of fitness and preparation.

Ultimate Mount Rinjani Trekking Guide

In this guide, I will share with you everything you need to know about trekking Mount Rinjani (Gunung Rinjani)

Where is Mount Rinjani?

Mount Rinjani (Gunung Rinjani) is located on the Indonesian island of Lombok. It is the second-highest volcano in Indonesia. The mountain is located within the Rinjani National Park, which is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. The trek to the summit takes you through lush forests, past beautiful waterfalls, and to the edge of a stunning crater lake. I have pinned the exact location of Mount Rinjani on the map below.

Booking your Mount Rinjani Trek in advance

It’s best to book in advance for your trek up Mount Rinjani so that you can take advantage of pick-up and drop-off from the airport or ferry. I recommend booking with Ali Trekking, who is one of the biggest and most organized trekking companies in Lombok. They’ve been guiding treks up Mount Rinjani for many years and have great reviews on TripAdvisor.

Ali Trekking offers one-night, two-night, and three-night treks up Mount Rinjani as well as the Crater Rim option. I did the three-night trek and recommend that one as you get to hike around the crater rim rather than just up and down from the summit. Their porters carry the camping and cooking equipment and prepare your meals while up on the mountain.

Why should you do a Mount Rinjani Trek?

Embarking on a Mount Rinjani trek is an unforgettable experience that should be on every adventurer’s bucket list. The trek is challenging, but the rewards are worth it. The views from the summit are breathtaking, and the surrounding scenery is simply stunning. The trek takes you through lush forests, past beautiful waterfalls, and to the edge of a stunning crater lake. Along the way, you will encounter friendly locals, learn about the local culture, and make new friends.

The sense of accomplishment that comes with reaching the summit is unparalleled, and the memories will stay with you for a lifetime. Additionally, the trek allows you to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of modern life and reconnect with nature. It is a true escape and a chance to challenge yourself physically and mentally while experiencing the beauty of one of Indonesia’s most iconic natural wonders.

TOP 3 PLACES TO STAY ON LOMBOK

  • Ultimate Luxury: Jeeva Santai Villas – Beautiful, luxurious villas
  • My Favorite: Martas Windows – Best value in Lombok for a bungalow with a pool
  • Best Hostel: Boogie Hostel is easily the best value hostel in Lombok

Is trekking Mount Rinjani hard?

Trekking Mount Rinjani is considered to be a challenging and strenuous trek, owing to its steep inclines, long distances, and varying altitudes. The most popular route for the trek begins from Sembalun Lawang village, and the ascent to the summit takes around two days. The first day involves a steep climb up to the Plawangan Sembalun crater rim, which is about 2,639 meters above sea level. The ascent on this day can be demanding, with a constant incline and a distance of around 11 kilometers.

On the second day, the trek continues toward the summit, which is another 3.7 kilometers from the crater rim. The final ascent to the summit is a challenging climb that involves navigating through loose rocks and scree slopes. The duration of the trek can vary depending on the fitness level of the trekker, but it usually takes around three to four days to complete the entire trek.

How many days do you need to trek Mount Rinjani?

If you’re planning to trek Mount Rinjani, there are several options to choose from depending on your fitness level and time constraints.

  • Two nights: The most popular and recommended option is the 3-day, 2-night trek, which allows you to summit the peak, visit the crater lake, and relax in the hot springs.
  • Three nights: For those with a more leisurely pace, the 4-day, 3-night trek offers the same locations with more free time to enjoy the mountain.
  • One night: The 2-day, 1-night tour from Sembalun is the most challenging option, which includes the option to summit at sunrise. However, it’s recommended to give yourself more time on the mountain if you’re not in excellent shape. The 2-day, 1-night trek from Senaru is the easiest option (but still very, very steep), providing incredible views of the crater but not reaching the summit or lake. This trek is perfect for those who want to experience Rinjani but cannot handle longer treks of more than one night.

Best time for trekking Mount Rinjani

Mount Rinjani trekking opens from April until January. After January the rainy season kicks in and Mount Rinjani trekking can get quite dangerous. April and May are the quietest months of the year for trekking and actually, have some of the best views as the landscape is incredibly green. The best time to climb Mount Rinjani would be in May to enjoy the best views and quieter crowds.

What are my favorite pieces of hiking gear?

There are four pieces of gear that I simply never forget when I go on a hike. These are four items that I using right now and this list gets updated every year! Here are my hiking essentials.

  • Arcteryx BETA AR Rain Jacket : This is my go-to rain jacket. It’s super light, folds down into a tiny ball, and protects brilliantly in a storm. This one never leaves my backpack.
  • Salomon X Ultra 3 Mid GTX Hiking Boots : For the best ankle support, waterproofing, and durable exterior I’m a fan of tough but light hiking boots like these Salomons for my adventures.
  • Black Diamond Head Torch : I can’t tell you how many times, I’ve arrived back from a hike unexpectedly late. I always keep this lightweight but strong headtorch in my bag for the unexpected.
  • Darn Tough Socks : These are the most comfortable hiking socks I’ve ever worn and last for years. They also have a lifetime warranty and you just send them in with a hole and they replace it no questions asked.

How to get to Lombok

Senaru is in the North of Lombok. This is a small town most trekkers base themselves in before and after their trekking adventures. I arrived in Lombok via ferry and headed straight north with three other friends. There are also flights directly to Lombok from Bali. Once you arrive to the airport or ferry port, you will need a private transfer or moped to reach the northern villages of Senaru or Sembalun to begin your Mount Rinjani Trek.

My Mount Rinjani Trekking Experience

We began our Mount Rinjani trekking experience crammed in the back of a truck with all the gear bouncing around. We wound through the mountainous roads of Senaru, crammed tightly by our heavy load until we arrived at the check-in counter. Here we signed our names and found out that there were 150 other people trekking that same day.

The trek began through some quiet farm fields as we felt the full force of the Indonesian sun. There was no shade and we were at the full mercy of the piercing heat. The reality of the trek began to hit us after an hour, knowing that we had 6 left today alone.

Lunch-time on day 1 was at a random shed with a bunch of other tourists around. Our guide laid out an orange tarp and we sprawled out, looking like we were on our way down after three days rather than fresh on day one. Lunch was rice, chicken, and vegetables with some local tea.

For each meal, our guides cooked rice or a noodle dish that was actually really tasty, especially considering they were carrying all of the cooking utensils, spices, sauces, and ingredients.

For the next 4-5 hours, we made our way along the trail up some mildly steep hills. This section was relatively long but more enduring rather than acutely difficult. The most surprising part of the hike on day one was the diverse scenery.

At times we felt as if we were inside a mysterious forest and at others, we were in a canyon, rocks on the floor and monkeys looking down on us. I definitely didn’t expect the inside of a volcanic crater to look anything other than a few bushes and some rocks but I couldn’t have been more wrong.

We arrived an hour before sunset at our camping spot. On the edge of an epic cliff, we pitched our tent, clouds well below us. The campsites are not clean, that’s the first thing we noticed. Trash lays all around, and toilet paper and human feces are scattered throughout the campsite and the surrounding areas.

It isn’t the guide’s fault or the trekkers really. For such a large-scale tourism operation the local authorities need to take responsibility and pay porters to carry out the trash and it would be my recommendation to have a dedicated drop toilet rather than having people dig holes everywhere and subsequently leave their trash wherever they please.

Trash aside, our camping spot was magnificent. We sat on the cliff edge watching the sun go down over the sulfur lake in the center of the volcano. We felt pretty good about ourselves after the first day but knew that we would be waking up at 2 am to begin the pilgrimage to the Mount Rinjani summit.

At 2 am we rolled out of our tents and enjoyed a pancake and coffee prepared by our porters and guide. After a few deep breaths of preparation and we went on the predicted 3-hour pilgrimage to the Mount Rinjani Summit.

This was the most intense period of the three-day Mount Rinjani trekking experience. With our head torches on, we battled to find our footing on the fine volcanic sand that paved the way. It was a case of two steps forward and one step back, which can get not only physically draining but mentally exhausting.

As we climbed higher and higher, the temperature began to drop. Our skimpy gloves and jacket our homestay owner had given us no longer kept us warm. The freezing wind was unforgiving and whipped across our faces. Our only warmth was hiding behind rocks or to keep moving onwards and upwards.

Along the way, we passed a couple who were crying and scared without their guide as the wind threw them about on the ridge. We passed others huddled behind rocks, taking a respite from the wild winds. Others marched on past us at an amiable pace. But the beauty of the pilgrimage is that whether you arrived first or last we were all destined for the same destination, and what a view it would be.

My sister and I arrived at the top, relieved the trek was over but astounded by the view. For the past four hours, we had been so focused on clambering up the mountain we had only stopped for brief moments to look at the view, which had been covered in clouds. Now at the top of Mount Rinjani, we could only look out in silence, in awe of the scale of the landscape and the scale of our achievement throughout the last 24 hours.

The climb down was much easier although with each step blisters and a bit of quadricep burn began to make the battle a little tougher. Plenty of slips later and some nice views inside the crater we made our way back to camp in just under a couple of hours. However, it was no time to rest!

After a quick breakfast, we packed up our gear and began clambering down the ridge towards the sulfur lake and the hot springs. As we had walked up in the cold hours earlier we had been dreaming of hot springs. However, now the hot sun was making the hot springs a little less desirable.

Nevertheless, we scrambled down the rocky path toward the lake. Looking out across the lake towards the active volcano inside of a volcano was mind-blowing! What wonderland was I in?

A short walk from the lake we found the natural hot springs. Temperatures of 40+ degrees meant we were steaming in the water and under the hot sun. It was an oven but the water felt so great on our feet and skin after the cold conditions earlier that morning.

We didn’t want to leave the hot springs. However, we had a 3-hour hike ahead of us to climb back to the top of the rim on the other side of the lake to camp. This was a painful part of the day. The legs were heavy we had been hiking more than not in the last 24 hours and it was starting to take its toll but our spirits remained high.

mt rinjani tours

We arrived at the top of the rim and many others had already set up camp. We had run out of water due to a bit of communication error and bad planning by our guides, which meant we had to keep going lower for another hour to a natural water source. Our group was a little ticked about this as it meant more walking and no sunset on the rim. Shit happens and we laughed about it later although our guide wasn’t the best at delivering that news!

We ended up camping at a random spot surrounded by forest but we were all pretty tired so we ate and fell asleep straight away.

Our final day was just a straight trek down the hill. The burn in the quads was intense but we were in the shade of the forest canopy for most of the day. As we exited the hike after more than three hours we made one last stop at the coffee plantation, with a great view from above of Tiu Kelep.

It was an epic three days and something I definitely recommend if you are up for a challenge!

WHERE TO STAY IN NORTHERN LOMBOK

If you are visiting attractions in the north such as Tiu Kelep or Mount Rinjani you should choose one of the three accommodations in the ‘ Northern ‘ section below.

  • Jeeva Santai Villas – Luxury Villa : Great location on the beautiful Mangsit Beach but also within driving distance of Tiu Kelep and Mount Rinjani. It is a location that offers the best of both worlds.
  • Hakiki Inn Bungalows  – Value: Set on the edge of rice fields with the jungle feel but the comfort of a private bungalow.
  • Blue Mountain Cottage – Budget (but also value) : This is where I stayed. The room was very basic but it was comfortable enough with a basic private bathroom.

WHERE TO STAY IN THE SOUTHERN REGION OF LOMBOK

If you are staying in the south to enjoy the beaches and surf in Kuta, Lombok you should choose one of the three accommodations in the ‘ Southern ‘ section below.

  • Harmony Villas – Luxury : The beautiful white theme throughout the property contrasts against the emerald green pool and plants. The villas are laid out impeccably and the best part about this 4-star villa is that it actually isn’t as expensive as it looks.
  • Martas Windows   – Value/Luxury : This place is incredibly beautiful. Bungalow-style villas surround the modern pool at this amazing property. For less than $80 a night, you can get yourself what would cost hundreds of dollars in most other countries at Martas Windows .
  • Boogie Hostel Kuta Lombok – Budget : The Boogie Hostel is everything you ask for in a hostel. It’s super modern and clean and has lots of chill spaces as well as lockers for your gear and blinds for privacy at your dorm.

The First Guiding Service on Rinjani

Licensed Mount Rinjani Trekking Guide and Tour Organizer

Thousands of people have stood on the summit of Mount Rinjani with us. We provide the highest quality service at a reasonable cost.

Mount Rinjani National Park

Every year, over 20,000 people just like you come to Lombok island to climb Mount Rinjani 3.726 m above sea level, the 2nd highest volcano in Indonesia. On the top of the volcano is a 6-by-8.5-kilometer caldera, which is filled partially by the crater lake known as Segara Anak or Anak Laut (Child of the Sea) due to the blue color of the water lake as Laut (Sea). This lake is approximately 2,000 meters above sea level and estimated to be about 200 meters deep; the caldera also contains hot springs. Sasak tribe and Hindu people assume the lake and the mount are sacred and some religious activities are occasionally done in the two areas.

Climbing Mount Rinjani does not require any technical skills or special equipment. However, the challenge is not to be taken lightly. You need to understand what lies ahead. You have a seemingly endless number of questions. Rest assured, you will find the answers to all your questions here – at Rinjani Trek Company , your Mount Rinjani trekking specialist.

We are, quite simply, the first guiding service on the mountain. As the best Rinjani tour operator, we provide the highest quality service at a reasonable cost. That is why over 500 people climb with us annually, and why past clients refer us to their friends and family. Thousands of people have stood on the summit of Mount Rinjani with us. Won’t you join us on the summit of Lombok island?

Rinjani Trekking

Via senaru ascent route.

This is by far the most used route as it allows the (relatively) less strenuous trek to the crater rim only. You start at an elevation of 600 m in Senaru village, normally in the late morning or early afternoon and make the 6 hour ascent to the crater rim before dark. First part of the trek is through tropical rainforest. Look and listen out for the lutung, or black monkey, swinging through the trees in the late morning. They are extremely shy, unlike for the common macaques which may gather near rest stops waiting for scraps. The route passes through POST II at 1,500 m, breaches the treeline at 2,000 m (POST III) and then it is a bit of slog up gravel paths to the camp site just below the crater rim at 2,600 m. There is no clear path at the last section nearing crater rim, at an incline of 45 degrees. There is a POST Extra after POS 3, but it is pretty much gone, and the remaining bits have been chopped up by porters as firewood.

Starting in the morning from the Rinjani Trek Centre in the village, the climb to Pelawangan II at 2,638 m will take about 8 hr via POST I (1,300 m), POST II (1,500 m) and POST III (1,800 m). Starting altitude is1100 m, so there are no humid conditions to deal with. First half or more of the trek is literally a breeze. The trek through savannah grassland is windy and easygoing, with gentle ups and downs, and the only obstacle to look out for are the “cow pats” deposited by the villagers’ cows along the way. Rolling hills and amazing scenery help to ease the tiredness, unlike the enclosed tropical rainforest of Senaru route.

Hi there, I'm Lendri, a local guide that has been working on Mount Rinjani for around ten years.

Best Time to Hike Mount Rinjani

Seasonal Closure and Weather Conditions

  • The hiking trails on Mount Rinjani are closed from 1 January to 31 March every year due to the monsoon season, which brings heavy rain and makes the trails dangerous.
  • The best time to climb Mount Rinjani is considered to be from April to January, when the trails are open and the weather conditions are generally more favorable.

Temperature and Trekking Conditions

  • Lombok has a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round, but trekking conditions may not always be perfect
  • Although most of the climbing season (April – January) is considered dry, hikers should be prepared to encounter dust, rain, low visibility, and slippery tracks.

Fitness Level and Trek Difficulty

  • The difficulty of the trek varies based on the individual’s fitness level.
  • Different trekking packages are available, ranging from shorter, less challenging treks to more strenuous summit and lake treks.

In conclusion, the best time to hike Mount Rinjani is during the open trekking season, which spans from April to December, with favorable weather conditions and a variety of trekking options to suit different fitness levels.

Rinjani Trekking package

There are several different types of treks up Mt. Rinjani, including 2-day/1-night, 3-day/2-night, or 4-day/3-night options. You can also choose to start in either Sembalun or Senaru. The most popular trek is the 3-day/2-night trek from Sembalun.

Over the course of 2 days and 1 night, you will ascend to the crater to witness the sunset, spend the night there, and savor the sunrise upon waking up. You also have the option to continue climbing to the summit for sunrise before descending, but it requires a high level of fitness and considerable effort.

The 3-day, 2-night trekking option is the most popular choice. You will climb up to the crater, watch the sunset, and then continue ascending to the summit to witness the sunrise. Afterward, you will descend to the lake for lunch and then take pleasure in the hot springs for a few minutes. Afterward, you will climb back up to the other side of the crater to watch the sunset. The next morning, you will have 4-5 hours to climb back down to Senaru.

4 days and 3 nights is similar to the 3 days and 2 nights option. The only difference is that on the second night, you will camp by the lake instead of just having your lunch. This will help you save 10-12 hours of trekking on the second day and enable you to feel energized as you continue trekking. You will also have more time to enjoy the lake and hot springs by fishing and taking a relaxing dip.

The Mount Rinjani 2 day / 1 night Summit package is designed for people wanting to climb Lombok’s most epic peak in the shortest time possible, leaving plenty more holiday time to experience all that this extraordinary island has to offer. This Rinjani trekking package starts and finishes in Sembalun village, East Lombok. On day 1 you will trek up to Sembalun Crater Rim, a magical ridgeline campsite that overlooks lake Segara Anak and the active volcano, Mt Barujari. On day 2 you will awake at 2am, have breakfast and commence your trek to the summit of Mount Rinjani. After watching sunrise from 12,224ft / 3726m, you will return to the campsite at Sembalun Crater Rim for brunch and then commence the walk off the mountain back to Sembalun Village.

Why climb Mt Rinjani?

At 12,224ft / 3,726m Mount Rinjani is one of Indonesia’s highest peaks. It is also one of the most beautiful, with panoramic views at many stunning vantage points. Climbing Gunung Rinjani represents a real challenge, one that will leave you with a genuine sense of achievement and fond memories. It is not a technically difficult mountain to climb, the path is well established and no ropes are required. However, the elevation gain over a relatively short distance means a steep gradient and prolonged ascents. With a moderate level of fitness , the right attitude and a willingness to succeed we believe most people can reach the summit of this beautiful mountain. We have the best team of guides and porters to assist you on this journey.

Why choose Rinjani Dawn Adventures?

Rinjani Dawn Adventures has a 100% safety record for Rinjani trekking. We use the best porters and guides and have the best equipment on the mountain. We offer nutritious food, and have strong policies on protecting the environment. We take all of our rubbish off the mountain and remove existing rubbish whenever possible. We’re also a socially conscious operator, working with the community in Senaru to rebuild earthquake damaged houses, provide clean drinking water and food to those most affected (please see our Sasak Warriors page for more information on our community projects initiative).

Rinjani Dawn Adventures can arrange accommodation in Senaru the night before the trek at additional cost. We offer transport from hotels on North Lombok free of charge (please refer to our travel zone map). Should you be staying on mainland Lombok and do not want to stay in Senaru or Sembalun the night before the trek, we can arrange an early collection from your hotel.

Day 1 – Climbing to Sembalun Crater Rim

  • Travel from the Rinjani Dawn Adventures office in Senaru to Sembalun Village (if you are staying in Sembalun we will collect you from your hotel).
  • Registration at the Rinjani Information Centre.
  • Commence your Mount Rinjani 2 day / 1 night Summit trek from the start-point in Sembalun Village (969m altitude).
  • Trek for approximately 2 hours. Arrive at “Pos 1” or “Pemantuan” (1300m altitude). Rest for 15-20 minutes, have some refreshments and snacks.
  • Trek for approximately 1 hour. Arrive at “Pos 2” or “Tengengean” (1500m altitude). Rest for 15-20 minutes, also includes refreshments and snacks.
  • Trek for approximately 1 hour. Arrive at “Pos 3” or “Pada Balong” (1800m altitude). 1 hour lunch-break. Our amazing porters and guide will prepare a nutritious hot meal, tea and coffee.
  • Commence the climb to Sembalun Crater Rim campsite (also known as Plawangan Sembalun). This is the hardest part of day 1 and involves a steep ascent for around 3 hours. But there will be impromptu rest-points along the way, where you can re-hydrate and snack as needed. Sembalun Crater Rim campsite sits at around 2684m elevation (depending on which part of the campsite we camp on). It offers spectacular views of Mount Rinjani’s Summit, as well as lake Segara Anak and Mt Barujari (the active volcano that sits in the crater lake).
  • Once at Sembalun Crater Rim campsite your guide and porters will set-up tents and start preparing dinner (a delicious hot meal). We pride ourselves on the food we provide for our customers and can accommodate certain dietary restrictions. You can use this time to relax, admire the view with a hot drink, take photos and explore the ridgeline.
  • After dinner we recommend you get an early night (as you will be getting up at 2am to commence the summit trek). We use comfortable mattresses and high-quality tents that support a good night’s rest!

Day 2 – Summit Climb & Return

  • 2am – Wake-up, have a light breakfast and hot drink.
  • 2:30am – Leave Sembalun Crater Rim campsite (basecamp) and commence trek to Mt Rinjani Summit.
  • The trek to the summit of Mount Rinjani takes around 3-4 hours. The terrain is steep and often soft under-foot (the path consists of gravelly volcanic sand which makes it hard-going and can be compared to climbing a steep sand-dune at times!). Temperatures heading to the summit can vary, but if it is windy there can be a significant wind-chill effect. We recommend wearing many layers of clothing when you commence the trek to the summit, and take layers off if you become too hot. Warm hat or beanie and gloves are mandatory. Please refer to our packing guide and frequently asked questions for more information about equipment. We have a limited stock of jackets, hats and gloves that our customers can borrow free of charge, but we recommend you bring your own thermal layers.
  • 5:30am – We aim to be on the summit of Mt Rinjani for 5:30-6:00 am – in time to watch the sunrise over Lombok. The views from the summit of Mt Rinjani are exceptional and you can often see a distant Mt Agung (on the neighbouring island of Bali), the 3 Gili Isles (Gili Air, Gili Meno & Gili Trawangan) and neighbouring Sumbawa from this stunning viewpoint. But it will be chilly until the sun rises, so we will provide a thermos for hot coffee or tea whilst you wait. You will have the opportunity to take photos with your guides and fellow hikers and enjoy the view for roughly 30-45 minutes.
  • 2 hours trekking follow, descending back down to Sembalun Crater Rim campsite (basecamp, Plawangan Sembalun). The walk down from the summit is a lot easier than the trek up! You will have the opportunity to take photos on the way down and admire the views in the light of day.
  • Brunch at basecamp (Sembalun Crater Rim campsite). Your porters will be waiting for you at the campsite. They will prepare a well-deserved cooked brunch and coffee & tea for you on your return from the summit. We will spend around an hour relaxing and having breakfast at this location.
  • Trekking back to Sembalun Village (the start-point of the trek). We will follow the same route that we followed on day one, though in reverse. Although it is downhill, the steepness of the route means we have to take care in certain sections. We recommend that all our customers use trekking poles during the 2 day / 1 night Mount Rinjani trek. We have poles you can borrow if you do not have your own. It takes between 5 and 6 hours to reach Sembalun from the crater rim, depending on your fitness level and how many breaks we take. We will have regular breaks for rest and re-hydration. We will also stop for a hot lunch during your decent.
  • Sembalun to Senaru (and onward location). When we arrive at the finish point, we will have transport waiting. We will drive back to our office in Senaru (approximately 1 hour) where you can recover any luggage you have left in our care. After you have said your farewells to your guide and porters, we will arrange your transport to a pre-arranged drop-off point / hotel.

Rising proudly in Lombok, Mount Rinjani is an active volcano and stands at an impressive 3,726 meters (12,224 feet) above sea level. It offers breathtaking views, lush landscapes, and exhilarating trekking opportunities that attract adventure enthusiasts from around the world.

Embarking on a trek to the summit of Mount Rinjani is a true test of endurance and willpower. The journey to the top is not for the faint of heart, but the reward of standing on the crater rim and witnessing the awe-inspiring beauty of the surrounding landscapes is absolutely worth it.

Mount Rinjani is not only about the stunning vistas and the challenging trek, but it also holds cultural significance to the local Sasak people. They consider the mountain to be the dwelling place of the gods and spirits, and climbing it is a spiritual journey for them.

Getting to Mount Rinjani

Mount Rinjani is located on the island of Lombok in Indonesia. To reach the mountain, you will typically fly into Lombok International Airport (LOP) from major cities such as Jakarta or Bali. From the airport, you can take a taxi or arrange a transfer to the starting point of your trek.

The two main starting points for trekking Mount Rinjani are Senaru and Sembalun. Senaru is located on the northern side of the mountain, while Sembalun is on the eastern side. Both towns have well-established trekking communities, offering various services and facilities for trekkers.

If you’re coming from Bali, you can also take a fast boat from Bali to Lombok, and then make your way to Senaru or Sembalun. This option allows you to enjoy a scenic journey across the crystal-clear waters of the Bali Sea.

It’s important to note that the roads leading to Senaru and Sembalun can be quite challenging, with some steep and winding sections. If you’re not comfortable driving in these conditions, it’s best to hire a local driver or join a guided tour that includes transportation.

Once you arrive at your chosen starting point, you’ll need to make arrangements for permits, guides, and porters before beginning your trek. It’s advisable to book these services in advance to ensure availability, especially during the peak trekking season.

Now that you know how to get to Mount Rinjani, it’s time to dive into the necessary permits and regulations you need to be aware of before embarking on your adventure.

1. National Park Entrance Fee: All visitors to Mount Rinjani are required to pay an entrance fee to Gunung Rinjani National Park. The fee varies depending on the duration of your trek and whether you are an international or domestic visitor. It is important to have the receipt with you at all times during the trek, as it will be checked at various checkpoints.

2. Trekking Permits: In addition to the entrance fee, you must obtain a trekking permit for Mount Rinjani. This can be arranged through authorized trekking operators or directly at the National Park office in Senaru or Sembalun. The permit includes a trained guide and porters, who will accompany you on the trek.

3. Group Size: The National Park regulates the number of trekkers allowed on Mount Rinjani each day. Currently, the maximum group size is 150 people per day across all trekking routes. It is advisable to book your trek in advance to secure your spot, especially during the peak trekking season from April to October.

4. Camping Areas: Camping is only permitted at designated areas along the trekking routes. These areas provide basic facilities such as toilets and shelters. It is important to respect the environment and leave no trace behind.

6. Local Cultural Etiquette: The local Sasak people consider Mount Rinjani as a sacred place. As visitors, it is important to respect their customs and traditions. Dress modestly, be mindful of your behavior, and seek permission before entering any cultural or sacred sites you may encounter during the trek.

By obtaining the necessary permits and abiding by the regulations, you contribute to the conservation of the natural beauty of Mount Rinjani. Now that you understand the permits and regulations, let’s move on to the best time to embark on your Mount Rinjani trek.

Best Time to Trek Mount Rinjani

Choosing the right time to embark on your Mount Rinjani trek is crucial for a safe and enjoyable experience. The weather conditions, trail accessibility, and crowd levels can vary throughout the year. Here’s a breakdown of the different seasons:

Dry Season (April-October): The dry season is generally considered the best time to trek Mount Rinjani. The weather is relatively dry, with clear skies and pleasant temperatures. This makes for excellent visibility and stunning views during your ascent to the summit. However, keep in mind that this is also the peak season, and the trails can be crowded, especially between July and August.

Wet Season (November-March): The wet season in Lombok brings heavy rainfall and increased cloud cover, which can make trekking more challenging and potentially dangerous. The trails can become slippery and muddy, and the visibility may be limited. It’s important to be prepared for these conditions if you choose to trek during the wet season. Although less popular, trekking during this time allows you to experience a quieter and more serene atmosphere on the mountain.

It’s crucial to monitor weather forecasts and trail conditions before embarking on your trek, as weather patterns can be unpredictable. If there are any warnings or alerts from the National Park authorities, it’s advisable to postpone your trek for safety reasons.

While the dry season offers the best weather for trekking, it’s important to note that Mount Rinjani is a popular destination, and the trails can get crowded, especially on weekends and holidays. If you prefer a quieter experience, consider trekking during the shoulder months of April, May, September, or October, when the weather is still favorable, and the crowd levels are lower.

Now that you know the best time to trek Mount Rinjani, let’s explore the difficulty level of the trek and the fitness requirements.

Difficulty Level and Fitness Requirements

Trekking Mount Rinjani is a challenging endeavor that requires a certain level of physical fitness and mental preparedness. It’s important to assess your own capabilities and ensure you are adequately prepared before embarking on the trek. Here’s what you need to know about the difficulty level and fitness requirements:

Difficulty Level: The trek to the summit of Mount Rinjani is rated as difficult due to its steep and rugged terrain. The trail involves long and strenuous ascents and descents, often on uneven surfaces. The final push to the summit involves scaling loose scree and boulders. The altitude gain is significant, and the air becomes thinner as you ascend, which can make breathing more challenging.

Fitness Requirements: A good level of fitness is essential for a successful Mount Rinjani trek. You should be comfortable with walking long distances for consecutive days and be prepared for uphill climbs and steep descents. Regular cardiovascular exercises such as hiking, jogging, or cycling can help improve your stamina and endurance. Strength exercises targeting the legs, core, and upper body will also be beneficial. It’s recommended to start a training program at least a few months before your planned trek to build up your fitness levels.

Altitude Considerations: Mount Rinjani reaches an elevation of 3,726 meters (12,224 feet), and altitude sickness can be a risk. It’s important to ascend slowly, allowing your body enough time to acclimatize. Adequate hydration, proper nutrition, and getting enough rest during the trek are crucial. If you experience severe symptoms of altitude sickness, such as severe headaches, dizziness, nausea, or difficulty breathing, descend to lower altitudes immediately and seek medical attention if necessary.

Previous Trekking Experience: While previous trekking experience is not a requirement, it can certainly be beneficial. Having experience with multi-day hikes, camping, and endurance activities will help you better anticipate the challenges and understand the demands of trekking Mount Rinjani.

It’s important to listen to your body throughout the trek and communicate with your guide about any concerns or difficulties you may be experiencing. Remember to pace yourself, take regular breaks, and stay well-hydrated.

Now that you have an idea of the difficulty level and fitness requirements for a Mount Rinjani trek, let’s delve into the various trekking routes available.

Trekking Routes

There are several trekking routes available to explore the beauty of Mount Rinjani. Each route offers unique landscapes, challenges, and experiences. Here are the main trekking routes to consider:

1. Senaru Route: This is the most popular route and starts from the village of Senaru on the northern side of Mount Rinjani. The trek begins in lush forests and ascends through steep slopes, offering breathtaking views along the way. It usually takes around two days to reach the crater rim and three days to complete the trek to the summit and return. The Senaru route is known for its stunning viewpoints, including the famous Senaru Crater Rim.

2. Sembalun Route: Starting from the village of Sembalun on the eastern side of the mountain, this route is the preferred choice for those seeking a slightly more challenging trek. The trail passes through open grasslands and offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. The trek to the summit and back usually takes three days. The Sembalun route is known for its picturesque savannah and the beautiful Plawangan Sembalun crater rim.

3. Timbanuh Route: The Timbanuh route is a less-known and more off-the-beaten-path option for experienced trekkers. It provides a unique and remote trekking experience, with fewer crowds and a rugged terrain. The trail starts from the village of Timbanuh and typically takes four to five days to complete. Along this route, you’ll encounter dense forests, waterfalls, and stunning panoramic views.

Regardless of the route you choose, it’s important to have a reliable and experienced guide who is familiar with the trekking paths and can ensure your safety throughout the journey. They will also provide you with valuable insights into the local culture, flora, and fauna.

There are designated camping areas along the trekking routes with basic facilities such as toilets and shelters. Some trekkers choose to bring their own tents and camping equipment, while others opt for guided tours that provide camping gear and camping meals as part of their package. Camping allows you to experience the tranquility of the mountain and witness breathtaking sunrises and sunsets from the comfort of your tent.

3. Homestays: In the villages of Senaru and Sembalun, there are also homestays available for trekkers who wish to experience the local culture and hospitality.

It’s important to note that accommodation options are limited on the mountain, and it is essential to book in advance, especially during the peak trekking season. Whether you choose to stay in accommodations or camp, make sure to bring a comfortable sleeping bag and sleeping pad for a good night’s rest.

Additionally, if you opt for a guided tour, your trekking operator will typically arrange the necessary accommodation or camping arrangements for you as part of their package. This takes the hassle out of planning and allows you to focus on enjoying your trekking experience.

It’s essential to pack enough food to sustain you throughout the trek, including snacks to keep your energy levels up.

If you decide to go with a guided tour, your trekking operator will typically provide meals as part of the package.

Alternatively, you can bring enough water with you from the start of your trek to last until the next refill point.

It is recommended to drink at least 2-3 liters of water per day to prevent dehydration, especially in the warm and high-altitude conditions. Remember to also stay hydrated during your stay at the accommodations or campsites before and after the trek.

In addition to water, it’s a good idea to pack some electrolyte packets or energy drinks to replenish lost electrolytes and minerals during the trek.

There is no fee for this service! It’s just our opinion and our advice, freely given—from the man who knows more about Mount Rinjani Trekking  than anyone else on the planet!

Mount Rinjani National Park is one of the most famous, beautiful, and challenging adventure destinations in the world. It covers an area of 41,330 ha in the northern part of Lombok. Named after Indonesia’s second-highest volcanic peak outside of West Papua, the peak of Mt. Rinjani (3,726m) dominates the landscape.

Within the crater are the spectacular Segara Anak Lakes and the still-active volcano Gunung Baru (2,363m). It is surrounded by a further 66,000 ha of protected forest and covers the four administrative districts of West, East, North, and Central Lombok. The park ecosystem is in the transitional zone between Asia and Australia (the Wallace zone). The average rainfall is about 3,000 mm annually.

Gunung Rinjani is rich in a variety of flora, fauna, and vegetation types. The primary rainforest in Nusa Tenggara is located on the southwestern side of the mountain, which is the most eastern extent. This leads to monsoon forest, a drier climate in the east, and savannah in the northeast. Notable flora includes the everlasting edelweiss flower, tiger orchid, grass, Cemara trees, and Casuarinas occidental.

In 1997, Indonesia established Mt. Rinjani as one of its over 40 national parks. Thousands of Balinese and Sasak pilgrims worship it, appreciating its spiritual and natural values. People seek the healing powers of the hot springs near the crater lake. Over 20 villages surround Rinjani, and there are many routes up the mountain, but the main access is from Senaru village in the north and Sembalun Lawang to the east.

The challenging three-day Rinjani trekking route from Senaru village to the crater rim, down to the stunning crater lake, then on to Sembalun, is considered one of the best treks in Southeast Asia. Those heading for the summit usually prefer to start in Sembalun.

The villages of Senaru-Sembalun are the main gateways to Mount Rinjani National Park, the most popular start point for the three-day trek up Indonesia’s second-highest volcanic peak (3,726m). The people of Lombok, Sasak, and Balinese revere the volcano as a sacred place and the abode of gods. Within the spectacular crater, the Segara Anak Lakes are the destination of many pilgrims who place offerings in the water and bathe away disease in the nearby hot springs.

Since 1999, the New Zealand Government has assisted in the development of the Rinjani Trekking Centre, which brings together the National Park, the tourism industry, and local communities to manage and protect the Rinjani mountain environment under one roof.

Rinjani Mountain is the second-highest active volcano in Indonesia and absolutely a challenging mountain walk, and you must be prepared with good equipment and warm and windproof clothing if you want to make an adventure trekking to the top of Rinjani Mountain at 3726 m. Trekking to Rinjani Mountain in Lombok, Indonesia, can attract severe storms, lightning, and strong winds. When the weather is settled, the sun is intense, and the nights are frosty. Parts of the trail are steep and slippery. Beware of bad weather and the risks of exposure to wet and cold conditions. If caught in an electrical storm, take shelter and avoid prominent ridges. Beware of snakes, stinging insects, and plants. Leeches can be a nuisance in the wet season.

We design 3 types of service for Rinjani Trekking Tour Package that you can choose – the best option which suits how much time you have, how fit you are and what maximum budget you wish to spend:

Rinjani Budget Trekking Service – Joining a Group

For a solo traveler or anybody who wishes to do the trek in a minimum cost, this Rinjani shring group trekking package service might be a smart option. Practically, you will be in a larger group consisting of 6, 7 or 10 hikers. Please be tolerant and have good understanding.

Participants usually take the most popular trekking itinerary that is the 3-day trek with 2 nights staying in tent. It means, if you go for a 2-day trek then you will join the group of the 3-day. You will be separated with them at the 2nd day: as you descend with our team to complete your trip and the group commencing to other initial destination on the mountain.

Rinjani Private Trekking Service

Apart from trekking Rinjani with a group, we are also very welcome to serve you in a private trekking trip. Here you will only with your own partners instead of  sharing with others outside your group.   This trekking package service is ideal if you have your own group: good option for couple, family with children and a large group. In this trek, you will only with your travel mates accompanied by our guide and porter – you are more flexible with time and destination.

Rinjani Trekking Service for Asian Group

This is designed for a large group of hikers who want to have trekking trip combined with tour to Gilis, Lombok and surroundings.

For a better Rinjani trekking  experience, it is highly recommended to join a group. That’s why most people prefer to take part of a larger trekking group – it is cheaper and more fun as you meet other travelers. All the standard Rinjani trekking packages are group packages, but there is a REQUIREMENT to be fit enough and at least have several mountain climbing experiences. If you are a solo traveler this option is perfect.

Further more, never book a Rinjani sharing trekking tour package if you are not sure that you are able to walk up and down the mountain in a longer distance and together with others.

However, if you are 2 or more people, and want to have your own group, that can be arranged as well. Simply drop us a message.

Packing Guides to Mount Rinjani

It is highly advisable that you pack as light as possible: over-packing to the trek will only make you have lesser fun. If you’re traveling and have more luggage than you need for the trek, you can leave the additional one with us at the departure point in Senaru or Sembalun.

Below is a list of what you will need during your Rinjani trek:

  • Shoes: running or hiking shoes with a good grip can be used
  • Small backpack – ideally, a small hiking backpack so you can put clothes, camera, and other things you need
  • Long pants (it’s very cold at high altitude, reaching even minus temperatures)
  • Warm jacket – if you don’t have one with you, you can rent one on the spot
  • Head lamp – if you don’t have one, you can rent one on the spot or buy a cheap one from the nearest shop
  • Sun block – even when cold, the sun burns at that altitude
  • Camera if you want to capture the entire adventure and scenary
  • Sun glasses
  • Light rain coat (December to April)
  • Easy dry towel
  • Spare T-shirts and shorts
  • Insect repellent

For details look at here

There are two major ascent routes on Rinjani: Senaru Village in the north and Sembalun Lawang in the east.

Which Rinjani Ascent Route to Follow?

It always depends on your taste and which destination that you prioritize. The time needed to reach both crater rim (2600+m) where you will camp is relatively similar: in average of 7 to 8 hrs.

Sembalun Ascent Route: Lombok Exotic Savannah

If you want to reach the summit at the 2nd day then starting from Sembalun ascent route can be your choice. The village is the nearest way to get to the top. Ascending here will drive you to walk through savannah, it’s hot so please bring sun block, hat and glasses with you.

Senaru Trail: Ascend Through Tropical Forest

Senaru is the first and the only one gate to mount Rinjani some years ago. This is the most followed trails today beside Sembalun.

In contrary with Sembalun ascent route – here you will walk through thick forest which offers you chances to see a huge diversity of flora and fauna: big trees, wild strawberry, orchid, birds, wild chicken, barking deer etc. Conquering the summit will be at the last day.

“The majority of the route represents a normal trekking path, although there is a harder portion in the last 1 hour just before reaching the summit. No rock climbing or technical climbing skills are needed”

Mount Rinjani or locally known as Gunung Rinjani is an active volcano in Lombok, Indonesia. It has become more and more popular among locals and international travelers alike, which is not surprising considering the incredible nature that it hosts, the amazing views, and the challenging but most rewarding trekking routes.

To the Balinese, Rinjani is one of three sacred mountains, along with Bali’s Mount Agung and Java’s Mount Bromo. The local tribe people (Sasaks) ascend throughout the year around the full moon. The Balinese are also tossing gold and jewelry into the lake in a ceremony called Pekelan, before they slog their way towards the sacred summit.

It is relatively easy to reach the island of Lombok, as transportation options are plenty.

By Air: the island is served by its own airport, Lombok International Airport, which you can fly to from domestic or international destinations.

By Sea: you can reach Lombok by taking a 2 hour fast boat from the more popular Bali, or ferries and speed boats from other islands in Indonesia.

Have a chance to sleep at so high altitudes without the need for professional equipment. This also means that you get to wake up and go to sleep above cloud level, at 2 600+ meters, which makes for an incredible experience and a unique photo taking opportunity.

Although the volcano has small eruptions every few years, it is considered as safe for trekkers, as the routes are far from the eruption point. Many trekkers are actually keeping their fingers crossed for a small eruption, as it provides for an incredible experience and photo opportunity.

Rinjani is one of the few trekking places where you can sleep at so high altitudes without the need for professional equipment.

The best season to trek is the dry season, between April and December. All trekking routes to the summit are closed between January and March (both months inclusive). However, a Rinjani trekking tour package to the crater rim Senaru 2 days 1 night is still available on request.

True sense of adventure can only be felt if you are brave enough to leave the comfort of sitting and eating on your hotel desk and chair. Anonymous

This race has a time limit of 168 hours most of which you’ll be running in the dark because the race is in January (there’s only about 8 hours of daylight in the UK in January). 150 people can do this race per year and it costs about $1,500 per person to enter.

The race is on the iconic Penny Way trail and crosses the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales, Northumberland National Park, Hadrian’s Wall, and the Cheviots, to name a few. 

<p>If you haven’t seen the documentary about the <a href="https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=108870" rel="noreferrer noopener">Barkley Marathons</a> on Netflix, I recommend watching it. This race consists of 5 loops at 20 miles per loop to equal 100 total miles (although many have said that the race ends up being at least 130 miles) and about 63,000 feet of elevation gain. </p><p>The race is put on by Lazarus Lake, a man from Tennessee who has a knack for coming up with impossibly challenging races. Its located in Frozen Head State Park in Tennessee and is limited to only 35 people which makes it almost impossible to get into. It is held in March each year and only 17 people have finished the race in its 38-year history. </p><p>Over 80% of the race is off-trail and the entire race is unmarked. Racers are not allowed to have GPS watches either. The only way to navigate themselves around the course is by using a map given to them by Laz, which they then have to copy onto their own maps and give the original one back. </p><p>Once the race starts, you have to find 10-14 books that are placed around the course and tear out the page that has been assigned to you. Then at the end of each loop, Laz will count the number of pages you have to see if you completed said loop. </p><p>You have 60 hours to complete the race, which is about 12 hours per loop. There are so many more wacky things that occur during this race, so like I said, go watch the documentary for all the crazy details.</p>
