Mount Rinjani is a majestic active volcano located on the beautiful island of Lombok, Indonesia (just east of Bali). Standing at an impressive 3,726 meters (12,224 feet) above sea level, it is the second-highest volcano in Indonesia.
Rinjani is world-famous for its breathtaking scenery, featuring a stunning turquoise crater lake called Segara Anak, an active “baby volcano” named Mount Barujari inside the caldera, and natural hot springs. Trekking to its summit offers a legendary 360-degree sunrise view stretching all the way to Bali and the Gili Islands, making it one of the ultimate adventure bucket-list experiences in Southeast Asia.
The best trekking season is during the dry season, from April to December.
It is rated as moderate to challenging. The final push to the Summit (3,726m) is the hardest part due to steep volcanic ash and loose gravel.
No prior climbing experience is required, but a good level of cardiovascular fitness is highly recommended. We advise doing regular cardio, hiking, or running at least a few weeks before your trip.
We care about your comfort and privacy. We provide a private toilet tent at every campsite for our guests, so you do not have to use public nature spots.
Temperatures at the crater rim and summit can drop significantly at night and early morning, ranging from 5°C to 10°C (41°F – 50°F). Proper warm layers are essential
Our guides speak English fluently and are certified professionals who know the mountain inside out. Our porters speak basic English but are incredibly friendly, helpful, and hardworking.
Tipping is not mandatory, but it is highly appreciated by our local team as a reward for their hard work. A standard tip usually ranges from $20 to $35 USD per client, distributed among the guide and porters
We provide free pick-up and drop-off services across Lombok, including Lombok International Airport (LOP), Bangsal Harbor, Senggigi, Mataram, and Kuta Lombok
