Rinjani FAQ

Any time throughout the dry months from April to December. The mountain is closed for hiking throughout the rainy season from January to March. During the rainy season, we provide Senaru Panorama Walk, Gili Kondo island camping – snorkeling and hiking Pergasingan Hill Sembalun.

Climbing Rinjani is tough, but anyone in reasonable shape should be able to manage. Porters will be provided throughout the climb but you are expected to carry your own personal daypack of fewer than 8 kilograms. Normal trekking throughout except for some scrambling towards the summit. No rock climbing or technical climbing skills are needed. Summit sunrise climb is entirely optional, climbers who would like to conserve their energy instead could choose to have a longer rest and wait for their teammates at the crater rim.

The typical route which covers the crater rims, summit, and lake takes 3D-2N to cover. The trekking durations are Day 01 ~ 7 hrs; Day 02 ~ 12 hrs; Day 03 ~ 6 hrs. (Timings are estimated and depends on the trip package and individual trekker’s physical stamina and conditions)

The summit day is on Day 02 of the trek. You will wake up around 2.30 am for the summit climb. It takes about 3 hrs to reach the summit (for sunrise if you can reach on time) and another 1,5 hours to descend back to the campsite.

Our guides are conversant in English but most porters can only understand simple English.
