Mount Rinjani Trekking Information
Getting Mount Rinjani
Mount Rinjani is active volcano on Lombok, a small island in Indonesia. The easier way to reach the mountain is to fly directly to Lombok International Airport in Praya, Lombok (Airport Code: LOP) and then take a long journey to the foot of Rinjani.
There are several driving route options to reach Rinjani mountain from Lombok Airport.
- The drive to Senaru, which takes about 2.5–3 hours, passes through Mataram and circle half the island before arriving at Senaru village and the ascent route to Rinjani in the west.
- Sembalun takes about 2–2.5 hours going through the east side of Mount Rinjani with the routes Praya–Kopang–Masbagik–Aikmel, then finally reaching the village of Sembalun on the east side of Mount Rinjani (the close ascent route to Mount Rinjani summit).
If you cannot fly directly to Lombok, the best way is to transit through Jakarta or fly to Bali and take a fast boat to Lombok . . .continue

You should wear a shirt (which can be either short or long sleeve) as the base layer, a good-quality fleece jacket or woolen pull-over as the middle layer, and a thick windproof jacket as the outer layer. A pair of waterproof and windproof trekking pants is desirable, as is a pair of woolen gloves, a beanie, and a scarf for additional cold protection. - Trekking shoes:
For better ankle grips and to keep loose soil out of the shoes, choose mid- or high-cut shoes over low-cut ones. - Trekking Poles:
Highly recommended for the summit climb, as the terrain towards the summit is very steep and consists of very fine and loose volcanic soil that may cause one to slip down easily. - Others :
Ensure you have a water bottle, torch or flashlight, toiletries, sun block or lotion, a hat or cap, sun glasses, and spray for muscle or balance. Insect repellent, Camera, mobile phone, and power bank.
The packing list above assumes you are going with a guide, and porters carry all camping equipment (tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mats, and toilet tent), cooking gear, water, and foods.
