F.A.Q
1. Preparation & Fitness
Mount Rinjani is considered one of the most challenging treks in Southeast Asia. While the savanna trails are manageable, the "Summit Push" involves steep inclines and loose volcanic scree (gravel). We recommend a good level of cardiovascular fitness and some hiking experience.
Yes, but we recommend our 3D/2N. These allow for a slower pace and better acclimatization. The 2D/1N Summit Challenge is best reserved for those who are physically active and accustomed to steep climbs.
We offer a 30-day return policy for all products. Items must be in their original condition, unused, and include the receipt or proof of purchase. Refunds are processed within 5-7 business days of receiving the returned item.
2. Logistics & Booking
The trekking season officially opens from April 1st to December 31st. The best weather is typically from May to September (the dry season), offering clear sunrise views and stable trail conditions.
Yes. All Rinjani Explore packages include the official e-Ticket and entrance fees for the Mount Rinjani National Park. We handle the registration so you can focus on the climb.
You only need to carry your bag with essentials. Your main luggage (suitcases/large bags) can be safely stored at our office. Our team will ensure it is waiting for you when you descend.
The National Park entrance fee is non-refundable. If you cancel your booking, we will return your fund except the ticket fees, since it's already been paid to the government.
3. Gear & Facilities
Our porters are "mountain chefs." You will enjoy hot, fresh meals such as Banana Pancakes, Nasi Goreng, etc. and seasonal fruits. We also cater to Vegetarian and Vegan diets—just let us know in advance!
We provide a private "toilet tent" at every campsite for your comfort and privacy. On the trail, we follow "Leave No Trace" principles to keep the park clean.

A sturdy pair of hiking boots (broken-in).
A warm jacket (temperatures at the summit can drop to 5°C - 10°C).
