Verified A beautiful ascent
It was sensational!The scenery is incredibly beautiful, both along the climbs and on the summits of Mount Rinjani, and well worth the energy spent to reach them. The views were clear in the early mornings and late afternoons, revealing the lake in the middle of the crater for sunsets and sunrises.Our guide Juardi was extremely kind and smiling, and attentive to our state of fatigue. As were the team of porters (Aman kania, Assan, Dian) who cooked us meals that were as good as they were hearty, sometimes even a little too much, to replenish our energy before the steep ascent. No need to pack snacks, the guides had everything we needed!We did the 3D/2N trek to climb Mount Rinjani. The gradients are steep, but there are plenty of breaks to allow you to climb them at your own pace. Some of the paths are dusty, so a mask or scarf to cover your mouth is not a bad idea. In terms of equipment, everything was of good quality, so we had nothing to complain about.We were picked up at the port of Bengsal and dropped off at Senggigi for the return journey.The night at the hotel before the hike is included in the package. As you can see, we recommend climbing this volcano with its lake to anyone with a bit of experience. It's a hell of a lot more beautiful than it looks in the photos.Many thanks to the team at John's adventure !
