Inclutions

Do the porters carry our luggage or backpack?

No, they don’t. The porters provided are responsible for carrying all logistical equipment for the trek program only. If you wish, you are more than welcome to pay extra for an extra porter to carry your luggage. The cost of having an extra porter to carry your luggage is USD $22 per day.

Reservation

What is the difference between the Deluxe and Standard Services?

Our Deluxe Service gives travelers more convenient facilities such as softer and thicker mattresses for sleeping, covered toilet shelters, and high-quality food. In contrast, Standard Service uses communal trekking equipment and is ideal for trekkers used to a rustic and basic trekking experience.

Trekking

Where can I leave my extra luggage during the trek program?

You can leave them in our office or in our base in Senaru. We will deliver all of your luggage back to you promptly after the trek ends.

Are we travelling in a big group or individual group?

Upon request, you can travel in a separate group on the same date. If you’re traveling with your family, or just among friends or colleagues, we can adjust our program to meet your needs. This also depends on your package – if you use the Deluxe service, you will have a private tour (while if you use the Standard service, you will be in a shared group of 6 or more people).

Weather

When is the best time of the year to climb Mt Rinjani, and when does the park close?

The best season for climbing is April through December. Mt Rinjani National Park closes from 15th of January to March due to heavy rains during the monsoon season. In fact, almost all year round it is possible to trek due to the tropical climate that Lombok has, unless the volcano on Mt Rinjani has been unusually active. The National Park authority will send us notifications about the current activity level of the volcano, so we will keep you apprised of any changes in volcanic activity as needed.
