Rinjani preparation guide Tips Before the Trek:
A certified local guide is mandatory for all treks. Green Rinjani provides 1 guide for every 4 trekkers. Larger groups will have additional guides.
Trim your toenails before trekking to avoid bruising or discomfort during long descents.
Trekking poles are highly recommended and available for rent — please request in advance.
Ensure you are physically fit. Park rangers will conduct a basic health and documentation check at the trailhead.
Submit your passport details before arrival — required for trek permits.
Bring sufficient cash, as there are no ATMs in Senaru or Sembalun.
During the Trek :
- Wear breathable clothes during the day and warm layers at night or when approaching the summit.
- Apply sunscreen before the hike begins.
- For the summit climb (usually early morning), wear a warm jacket, gloves, headlamp, and windproof pants.
- Carry at least 1.5 liters of water at the start. Our team provides safe bottled mineral water (we do not use mountain spring water for drinking).
- All meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) are freshly prepared by our cooking team. We serve a variety of delicious Indonesian dishes — no repetitive menus.
- Please do not use shampoo or soap in the lake or hot springs — help us protect the environment.
- Always bring back your trash or join our team in collecting any litter found on the trail. Let’s preserve Rinjani for future generations.
- 🏔️ Final Tips
Avoid wearing denim jeans — they’re heavy, slow to dry, and restrict movement. - Dress in layers for quick adaptation to temperature changes.
- Most importantly, enjoy the experience — the views, nature, and culture are unlike anywhere else.
