Overview

The Mount Rinjani Trekking track on the island of Lombok is one of Indonessia’s best kept secrets. Comparable to more famous mountain tracks, Rinjani offers you adventurous awe-inspiring scenery, waterfalls, rain forests, wildlife, hot springs, caves, demanding hiking, pristine lakes, interesting culture and of course a volcano. We are the only trekking company that takes you that much further, to the summit of a truly magnificent mountain.

Famed for its tremendous beauty and eerie isolation, Mount Rinjani is Indonesia’s second highest mountain outside Irian Jaya. Although it is a dominant geographical phenomenon, its peak is rarely seen from the low lands, as it is often shrouded in cloud.
