Rinjani Trekking 3D2N Summit - Full Trail

Me and my girlfriend (32 & 31) did a 3D2N tour and had a great experience with LA Rinjani. We took the fast boat from Padang Bai to Bangsal. Arriving in Bangsal the driver was waiting for us and brought us to the hotel in Senaru. You get a private room with nice views over mount Rinjani. In the evening we got a briefing about the route what to expect and what we should bring in our backpacks. The next day breakfast was provided by the company and thereafter a car brings you to the start point after you’ve passed a simple medical check required to enter the national park( blood pressure and temperature) As a couple we had 1 guide and 2 porters who bring your tents food and water to the campsite along the trekking route. Our guide Eddie was great spoke good English and was really helpful. The guide is trying to set a nice pace wich is easy to follow for beginner hikers

Everything was arranged as planned, from our pickup in Bangsal harbor in Lombok to the Senaru village. Thanks to our guide Ben and the porters (forgot their name) for their help along the trip. Accommodation was better than expected, with the views of the mountain and the hot showers. Just perfect for a night stay before beginning the trek on the next day. We were lucky enough to have clear skies during the summit hike which made for wonderful photos. Highly recommend for do the Rinjani trek with L.A Rinjani

It is a very difficult hike, you are constantly rising up the mountain, but footing is pretty solid until you get to the second to last position. The final 600 meters or so to the Crater Rim is by far the hardest part of the trek. It is very steep and has tiny little rocks which also make it very slippery as well. Having our guide was a huge help here, even just to reassure ourselves that we were safe and we were capable of doing it. Making it to the Crater Rim was one of those moments where we felt, “This was all worth it”. It is without a doubt one of the most beautiful places we have ever been to. Lake Segara Anak, with its special blue water surrounding the inner baby volcano was incredibly unique and gorgeous. And the view. My gosh, the view. We were able to see Bali and the Gili Islands while the sun was setting. It was the kind of moment that we will never forget. We could only imagine what the summit looked like on-top of Mount Rinjani after these views. The trek down in many ways may have been more difficult, those little rocks were incredibly slippery. That, plus your body being so exhausted from the day before, we were very grateful we only did the two day trek! This trek was something that absolutely terrified us, the night before we could barely sleep and kept thinking to ourselves, what the heck are we doing? However, once we started, and once we got to the Crater Rim, we knew it was all worth it. If we are ever in Lombok in the future, there is no doubt we would do it all over again!
