Rinjani Pre Treks
Preparation
We highly recommended you to have an
travel insurance and exercise before the trip start, at least you do
walk 5 kilometers in a day at home, or joint with the fitness center
at your home.
What to Carry
During the trek you will just have to
carry your small day pack with essential items such as sunglasses,
sunscreen, water etc. Porters are employed to carry the rest of your
gear on the trek. Please keep this to a minimum while on the trek.
About the Trek
You will encounter steep ascents and
descents on a fairly good system of tracks whilst on the trek.. A good
level of fitness is required. Please contact us if you would like some
suggestions in relation to pre trip training or if you are concerned
about your fitness level.
All meals will be prepared by your guide and porters on open fires and fuel stoves. Your porters will exhibit super human strength in getting all your camping gear up the mountain and is a constant source of amazement to trekkers! Expect traditional Indonesian style rice based meals. The meals are excellent relative to what you might expect on a typical western style commercial trek. The staff take great pride in their cooking skills and presentation of your meal. Any offers to help are welcome but not expected.
All your camping gear is supplied but if you want to take your own light weight sleeping bag or sleeping mat that's fine. This can be arranged at your pre trip briefing in Senggigi Beach. Most trekkers will carry a small pack or day pack with personal items such as clothes, toiletries and photography gear. Keep the gear to a minimum and don’t take anything up the mountain that you don’t have to!
