It is about damn time we organize a Mount Rinjani hike, one of the most beautiful and famous hikes in South-East Asia.

Mount Rinjani (3,726m) is often on everyone's to do list. It is the 2nd highest mountain in Indonesia, with a good combination of beauty and challenge. Situated in Lombok, the hike over 3 days lets you experience a whole array of terrains, experiences and most likely emotions! From the lush savannahs, to trudging up volcanic scree, to climbing down boulders and rocks, active craters, crater lake, waterfalls etc. Little words can fully describe a Mount Rinjani hike until you've experienced it. If there was 1 hike I dare say someone should do in South-East Asia, it would be Rinjani.

There are fantastic views not just at the summit, where you can see Mount Agung (Bali) across but also along the hike. You'll see a large caledera, crater lake known as "Segara Anak", a small active crater, as well as hot springs! The only downside is the fact it is extremely commercial, so seeing many other hikers and tents will be part of your view too.

For this trip, we are not looking to do the traditional route, which is Sembalun/Senaru, but to explore the exit route via Torean instead. Our Rinjani itineraries have been always 3D2N because the extra night of camping is just a few hours away from a comfortable bed and toilet.

Rinjani is often a litmus test to your perseverance and mental strength. It is usually everyone's first experience with volcanic scree. Although not technically difficult, the volcanic scree slope to the summit can be extremely tiring and challenging, especially to first-timers. To maximize one's success, it is important to have a good level of fitness and mental strength. Experience in full day hikes, or overnight camping would help also.

Who is this for?

Can Beginners do it?
Depends on what kind of beginners, If you are adventurous and fit, I would say yes, as I've done it as one of my first few mountains. However, would be good to have some hiking experience at least! You have to be open-minded and mentally strong to keep hiking a full day for 3 consecutive days. Some experience and good fitness is encouraged, if not have lots of mental fortitude.

If interested, do RSVP or Whatsapp. A Whatsapp group will be set up to coordinate further details and for a more detailed brief and instructions
