To do Rinjani hiking you do not need to be an experienced climber however the trek can be challenging at times and a good level of fitness is recommended. The trek to the summit is physically and mentally challenging as much of the route is a steep ascent with volcanic pumice/sand underfoot. There are no amenities or electricity on Rinjani so warm clothing, spare batteries for cameras and phones are a good idea. Mobile phone reception is available but limited in places. There are over twenty villages surrounding Rinjani offering several routes up the mountain, the two most popular tourist routes are from Sembalun and Senaru. The easier option if you choose to go to the summit is departing from Sembalun as the route to the summit begins at the Sembalun Crater Rim. Mount Rinjani Hiking
