Rinjani Trekking Cultural Tips and Environment Code Our trekking
packages are sets to minimize the impact on the environment, wildlife and plants. We provide high quality of mountain gear and hire only experience local mountain guide and local porters to give total satisfaction to our clients and supporting the sustainable eco tourism. These guidelines help minimize the impact of your visit on
the natural environment and also on other visitors.
Help to keep the park unspoiled for future visitors.
Remove rubbish : Litter is unattractive, harmful to
wildlife and the environment. Plan your trip to minimize
rubbish by not taking bottles and cans. Rinjani has a
“pack it in –pack it out” policy, so be sure to carry
out whatever you carry in.
Stay on the track : By keeping to the trail, you
avoid trampling undergrowth and risking getting lost in
the forest.
Camp with care : When camping, leave no trace of
your visit.
Keep streams and lakes clean; wash well away from the water
source by taking water in a container.
Soap and detergent are harmful to the creatures that live
in the streams. Drain used water into the ground.
Bury toilet waste : In areas without toilet
facilities, bury your toilet waste in a shallow hole
well away from waterways, tracts, campsites and
shelters. Take care with fires. Portable fuel stoves are
less harmful to the environment and are more efficient
than fires. If you must use a fire, keep it small and
make sure that the fire is out before leaving by dousing
it with water and checking the ashes.
Respect cultural and natural heritage : Help protect
the spiritual and historical significance of
Mt.
Rinjani
by respecting our local culture. Conserve wildlife and
plants of the national park by not removing anything.
Consider other visitors : Walk quietly trough the
forest so that you do not disturb the wildlife that you
and others have come to see.
Enjoy your visit : Enjoy your visit! Before leaving
the area take one last look. Will the next visitor know
that you have been here? Trekking Check List 1. Check your local guide license, make sure that he has a valid Indonesian Guide License. Never go without a local experienced guide.
2. Check the equipment i.e tents, sleeping bags, mattress. Due to uncertain weather, make sure that your tent is non-liking or waterproof. Most local trek organizer use very common "basic and old tents". Pay a little more extra for a better handling and comfort is worth.
3. Book your trek through a well organized trek organizer. Make sure you are equipped with the most advanced equipment.
4. Rinjani have several shelter in each stop point (commonly known as pos). Some of them equipped with toilet, but not well-maintained, dirty. A toilet tent can be useful when camping in open air.
5. Help keep the environment clean and nature. Rinjani trek is more than simply visit the area, some trek trails are very steep and dangerous, but the views and panorama is worth to be explored.
6. When you book an organized trekking package, check with your agent in details, what's includes and what's not included in the package. Quality of service and facilities provided are important because the facilities in Rinjani National park is not the same as facilities you can find in well developed countries.
