Rinjani volcano trekking

Volcanoes

A trip to Rinjani offers more than just trekking Indonesia's second-highest peak. It's a complete adventure trip, including camping, delicious campfire-cooked meals, soothing hot spring baths in the volcano's caldera, and long daily hikes lasting 6 to 10 hours.

You will be in the company of a knowledgeable guide and a helpful porter who will assist you as you explore the active Rinjani volcano. Along the way, you'll witness spectacular sunrises and sunsets with stunning panoramic views of the mountain landscape, all bathed in the warm sunlight. You will get to see several of the volcano's craters, including one that's situated right in the middle of a lake in the volcano's caldera.

There are different trip options to suit your schedule. In just two days, you can reach the summit, standing at an impressive 3,726 meters above sea level. For a three-day adventure, you'll not only experience the sunrise at the peak but also venture down to the lake within the volcano's crater and enjoy relaxing hot spring baths.

If you're free from altitude sickness and have some prior trekking experience, you're more than welcome to join us on this unforgettable journey.

Standard Package: Trekking to Rinjani 3 days / 2 nights and 1 day
Rinjani trekking center
3 days 2 nights A very intense climb. First day, trial under the sun and a short transition over 6 hours, breaks in the shade and for lunch. Accommodation in a tent and dinner in the first camp. Second day. We started to the summit at 2 AM (less than 3 hours of sleep), after a very light breakfast. Climbing and descending to the summit took 5.5 hours (be sure to bring poles!!!) After returning, another light breakfast, an hour of rest, and we began the descent into the crater. The hardest part of the hike in our opinion, descending a pretty challenging section, especially after the legs got sore from the first day and the summit climb/descend. About 3 hours descent to the lake, lunch on the shore, the hot springs, unfortunately, were cold due to the season. After about an hour of rest, we started the climb to the Senaru caldera, 3 hours of constant ascents and descents, a difficult route with ascent right into the clouds. Legs nearly stopped moving. The second day turned out to be about 13 hours of constant movement and 15 hours on foot. Followed by 9 hours of bad sleep and the last day. Third day. It should be noted that because of immense fatigue and movement beyond possibility, I began to experience a state of shock, lack of appetite, bathroom problems, shaking, and poor sleep. With great difficulty, we woke up and began to descend into the jungles of the village of Senaru, which took about 5 hours, from where we were picked up by car and returned to the hotel. Clearly not enough food and snacks, per day if there was any appetite at all, we ate 2000-2500 kcal, but it felt like we spent 4000-8000 kcal depending on the day. It's worth taking electrolytes and a lot of Snickers, about 10-15 pieces. You will enjoy the food on the first day, the second and third will make you nauseous and completely lose appetite. Decent toilets are only available in the first camp Sembalun, beyond that only bushes or a special tent where you will sleep. As a fisherman, I recommend bringing a fishing rod to cast for an hour in the crater of the volcano at an altitude of 2000m :) The hike is extremely challenging, especially the second day being 15 hours on foot, if you're afraid, it might be worth taking either just to the summit for 2 days 1 night or 4 days and 3 nights with crater visits. The ascent to the summit is much easier than the descent into the crater afterwards, so be sure to bring trekking poles. Despite everything, I enjoyed it. I would definitely repeat, but bring my extra food and snacks. Regarding MyBaliTrips, poor communication, practically no answers to questions, had to find everything on the supplier's website. They promised between the lines a transfer the day before the start; after payment, it turned out they would pick up only on the day of start.

With great effort, we woke up and began the descent into the jungles of the village of Senaru, lasting about 5 hours, from where we were picked up by car and returned to the hotel. Clearly not enough food and snacks, for the day if there was any appetite at all, we were eating at 2000-2500kcal, and seemed to burn 4000-8000kcal depending on the day. It's worth taking electrolytes and a lot of Snickers, about 10-15 of them. The food on the first day you'll enjoy, the second and third you'll feel nauseous with complete lack of appetite. Toilets are decent only at the first camp, Sembalun, after that only in bushes or in special tents where you'll sleep. As a fisherman, I would advise taking a fishing rod, just for the sake of it, to fish for an hour in the volcano's crater at an altitude of 2000m :) The trek is very tough, especially the 15 hours on foot on the second day, if you're worried, it's worth doing only to the summit for 2 days 1 night or 4 days and 3 nights with a crater visit. The summit ascent is much easier than the descent into the crater, definitely take trekking poles with you. Despite everything, I liked it. I would definitely do it again, but taking my additional food and snacks. As for mybalitrips, poor communication, almost no answers to questions, had to search everything on the supplier's website. They implied transfer a day before the start, but after payment, it turned out they'd only pick us up on the start day.

Rinjani trekking center
Про организацию тура: Организация тура отличная, трансфер туда-обратно в комфортной машине, хороший отель с горячей водой, возможность арендовать снаряжение, трансфер до точки старта и обратно + регистрация в национальном парке - все понятно, без задержек. Единственное, аренда снаряжения в Rinjani trekking center дорогая, в паре кварталов от места ночевки есть ларек с экипом раза в 3 дешевле. Обязательно берите треккинговые палки, фонарики и куртки. Про сам тур: тяжелое (физически) восхождение, будьте готовы к тому, что вы все 3 дня будете ходить больше 8 часов в день НЕ по прямой дороге: скалы, камни, земля, вулканический песок, обрывы, горные реки и ручьи. Может быть крутой подъем вверх, может быть резкий спуск вниз по камням, извилистая дорога, проход рядом с отвесной скалой и тп. Вы должны осознавать, что ваша подготовка позволит вам постоянно быть в полной концентрации и хорошо контролировать тело, несмотря на усталость. Если не придать этому значения - может быть опасно. Но некоторые люди все же как-то ходят на свой страх и риск. Еда: Кормят вас индонезийской едой и фруктами. Вкусно, не редко несного островато. Наси горенг, ми горенг, чикен карри, рис, мясо, местная зелень типа фасоли и овощи. Из фруктов яблоки, ананасы, арбуз, апельсины. Первый день программы не вызывает вопросов: где-то с 10 утра и до 16-17 вечера вы постепенно поднимаетесь в базовый лагерь на высоту 2600 (примерно). Будет перерыв на обед, перекусы, отдых. Здесь один раз попали под дождь, одежду было высушить потом сложно - берите с собой то, что быстро сохнет. Второй день вызывает спорные эмоции. Согласно программе вы должны стартовать в 2 ночи, за 4 часа подняться на высоту 3700, полчаса на вершине, за полтора часа спуститься, еще за час позавтракать и начать спускаться к озеру. Дойти до него за 3 часа, искупаться в горячих источниках, а потом опять подняться на другую ночевку на примерно 2600 м в другой базовый лагерь (где ветер и облака). Реальность такова, что подняться на 3700 до саммита за 4 часа можно (мы управились за 3,5 часа интенсива), но вот спуститься за час до базового лагеря - очень сложно. Спуск крутой, не хотелось убивать колени ударными прыжками и подвергать себя опасности подскользнуться, поэтому шли медленно. Мы спускались 3 часа с перерывами на фото и к 9 утра были на базе. Далее позавтракали, и гид предложил нам после озера, не идти в базовый лагерь наверх, так как в сумме не успевали по времени, а остаться ночевать рядом с источниками и на следующий день продолжить вниз. Мы это предложение поддержали. Объясню почему: к озеру мы спускались 4 часа по отвесным камням (тут нужно быть предельно осторожным, а ноги устали еще в 6 утра), пообедали и еще 40 минут шли до горячих источников. На горячих источниках мы были уже после 15:00 - в таком тайминге мы бы не успели подняться наверх по изначальному плану (а еще подъем наверх - те же отвесные камни в облаках). После источников мы спускались вниз к месту ночевки, удачно расположенному в безветренном месте около горной реки. Как потом дополнительно из отзывов выяснилось, путь до второго базового лагеря не менее суров и перспектива подниматься, а потом снова спускаться менее привлекательна, чем прогулка через потрясающее ущелье, горячие источники и ночевка в безлюдном месте у горной реки. Третий день мы спускались дальше по таким же обрывам и отвесным скалам, но без сильной спешки, с перерывом на обед и с замечатльными пейзажами, которых бы мы не увидели, если бы шгли обычным маршуртом 7 часов вниз из второго лагеря. Итого: сложные, местами опасные подъем и спуск (без шуток и преувеличений), безумно красивая природа, невероятные ощущения и радость от того, что послушали гида. Целые колени из за треккинговых палок и передвижение, как у пенсионера из за усталости мышц в течении 4 дней после спуска). Опыт, который точно запомнится и, как и любые горы, это преодоление себя и расширение границ. Как говорили в одном фильме ребята в пиджаках: -Is it worth it? -Oh yeah it’s worth it, if you’re strong enough!
