Volcanic Hazards :
Although Mt.Rinjani has not erupted in recorded history,
Mt. Baru (2,351m) 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 :
Fresh water springs are a feature of the trek and determine
campsites. Your guide will know where these are. During
the drier months (July - September) some springs
completely disappear. Park staff and guides constantly
monitor these water sources to determine their
abundance.
Park Fees :
Fees are paid at the
Rinjani Trek Center at Rp. 60,000/person/entry. They
contribute to the protection, maintenance and management
of the national park, Rinjani trek route, village
attractions and visitor facilities.
Guides and Porters :
We hire only professional mountain guides and porters from
the nearest villages in the area of
Rinjani National Park who have passed the guiding and
handling test and hold a valid guide license. Adventure Lombok is keen to develop the Eco Tourism Concept,
giving back to the local community to improve their
standard of living. A donation of 5% from our net income
will go directly to support education for the poor
children in isolated villages.
Telephone Communication :
Cell phone (GSM) covers most area of
Rinjani National Park. Most guides carry their own
mobile phone. Not all cellular operators can be used.
Pro XL is recommended.
About Our Trek Team :
Our trek team is fully operated by a team of young,
energetic Indonesians who are fanatical about the
environment, while sharing the natural and cultural
environments of the places we visit.

Environment Code
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?
