With Rinjani Official, you'll join our Small Group concept, limited to a maximum of 4 climbers. This reverse route starts through the cool rainforest of Senaru, camps beside Segara Anak Lake, and finishes with a Sembalun summit push and savanna descent — a great alternative if you'd rather start in the forest and finish in the open grasslands.
Start light cardio training (brisk walking, jogging, stair climbing) 3–4 times a week to build stamina.
Recheck your personal gear (boots, jacket, headlamp) and make sure your boots are already broken in to avoid blisters.
Get enough rest, avoid staying up late, and arrive at the meeting point for the briefing session with your guide.
Above 3,000m, some climbers may experience AMS symptoms such as mild headache, nausea, or dizziness due to lower oxygen levels. Our guides are trained to recognize these symptoms and will adjust the walking pace to help your body adapt gradually.
Tips to reduce risk: stay hydrated by drinking water regularly, keep a steady walking pace (don't rush), and let your guide know immediately if you feel unwell.
Participants are expected to arrive independently in Senaru Village, North Lombok, one day before the trek begins. Our team will meet you there for a preparation and briefing session. Arrival transport and accommodation are not included.

Our porter team carries the tents, cooking equipment, & logistics. You only need to bring a daypack (20–30L) containing:
Yes, as long as you're in good physical condition and have prepared your stamina in advance. The gentler forest start can help you ease into the trek before the summit push.
Safety comes first. If conditions are unsafe, the guide will adjust the itinerary, including the summit timing, in coordination with the on-the-ground team.
Starting in Senaru's shaded rainforest is cooler and gentler on the first day, saving the open savanna and summit push for later in the trip.
