You Should Know

The Mount Rinjani trek  is a  challenging  mountain hike and you must be prepared with good equipment, warm and windproof clothing. Mount Rinjani can attract severe storms, lighting and strong winds. When the weather is settled, the sun is intense and the nights are cold.

Parts of the trail are steep and slippery. Beware of bad weather and the risks of exposure to the wet and cold (hypothermia). If caught in an electrical storm, take shelter and avoid prominent ridges. Beware of snakes, and stinging insects and plants. Leeches can be a nuisance in the wet season.

Volcanic hazards

Although Mount Rinjani  has not erupted in recorded history, Mt. Baru (2, 351 m) in the crater lake is an active volcano. It last erupted dramatically in 1994. Check the notice boards for recent hazards, and take advice from park staff and guides.

Spring water
