[2025 North Lombok Regency Hotels] Travel Guide for Rinjani Base Camp (Updated Jul)

Explore Mount Rinjani, walking on the top of the clouds, shuttling between dense rainforests and magnificent volcanic lakes, feeling the breath and pulse of nature. Climb high and look far, taking in all the scenery. At sunrise, golden light spills, clouds surge, as if stepping into a secluded sky. On this journey where challenges and beauty coexist, Rinjani is not only a physical journey but also a profound spiritual baptism, inviting you to join this irreplaceable adventure feast in life.

I always wanted to experience the tent, even if I had a tent in my living room to sleep for one night. But don't talk about tents, I don't even have hiking shoes. Because I can hike, because I can camp, so I chose the Rinjani volcano. This active volcano is located at Lombok, 3,726 meters above sea level. It is one of the top ten volcanic routes in the world and is my first camping destination. The volcanic hiking trip is roughly divided into three types, 2 days, 1 night, 3 days, 2 nights, and 4 days and 3 nights. Like my rookie, I decided to take 2 days and 1 night. Although I often go to the snow-capped mountains in western Sichuan, Rinjani doesn't seem to be the same. With Mr. Lu Xun's phrase, "There is no way in the world, there are more people going, it becomes a road" to describe the mountaineering experience. It is step by step. Each trek is equipped with a few porters. They are really hard, but they dont earn much (most of the money is earned by the boss), not only will they carry food, tents, etc., but also when you cant walk. When you help your backpack, many times they wear a pair of slippers, even barefoot, ask them why, tell me that shoes are easy to break, slippers are cheaper. After 7 hours, we finally reached the campsite on the top of the mountain. Although it is only 10 kilometers away, it feels like it has been going for a long time. We sat down and took a break, and the porter began to help us set up a tent and make dinner. When the weather is dark, the temperature is down, the wind is a bit big, but the starry sky is really beautiful. The first camping in life is at the top of the volcano. I should be lucky than many people!

The Linjani volcano, also known as Longmu Peak, is 3,762 meters above sea level and is the third highest volcano in Indonesia. It is unique in that a small volcano nestled in the volcano called Gunung Baru Jari, a small volcano that grew out when Linjani erupted in 2009. This active active volcano was recently erupted once in 2016. The volcano is only open during the non-rainy season (April-December), and climbers are required to register and pay in the hiking center. In addition to some very experienced climbers, most people need to report to the mountaineering group. The mountaineering group includes guides, porters, etc. They will be responsible for guiding the route, helping to set up tents and cooking. The Linjani hiking routine is divided into two lines, one is from the sembalun up the mountain, the senaru is down the mountain, and the other is the opposite. senbalun 1156 meters above sea level, the mountain is relatively flat, the front section is a meadow, the rear section rises steeper, there is no place to cover the sun. senaru is 601, all the way in the forest, although it is relatively cool, but the distance is steep. Our line is the first one is from Sembalun up the mountain, senaru down the mountain. There are many tools that save us brains, but in this land we only rely on our legs and willpower, but desperate but have the power we never thought of.
