6 Things You Have to Prepare Before Trekking to Mount Rinjani
12:28:00 AM
Before the story goes to the next stage, let
me tell you guys about porter and related stuffs which you have to concern
before the days start. These things are pretty important because they will
affect your long term journeys. My team was planning to have a full Rinjani
trip, it usually starts from Sembalun Village to the summit, and then going
down to Segara Anak Lake and going back through Senaru Trek, so it will be
approximately spent like 5 days 4 night. Are you now wondering how much
logistics we have to bring to cover the whole days ? That’s why this one
becomes the first point of the most important things you have to prepare before
starting the Mount Rinjani Trip.
1. Porter
This is exactly what you must prepare very
well. As I said above, this will affect your journeys. By paying the porter, it
means you will receive full service, you don’t need to worry about the food,
sleep, and other personal stuffs you need to carry. This number one list will
be pretty much worth to pay if you aim to enjoy the fresh air, beautiful view,
and taking picture. Well, at least they will decrease your burdens. There are
so many travel agents which offer such full packages of Mt. Rinjani. They usually
offer some alternative packages, it depends on how many days you wanna choose.
Since I didn’t use any agency, here’s some top lists I browsed whose very
popular for this kind of thing.
JOHN¨S ADVENTURE: (DELUXE SERVICE = 209
euros)
GALANG IJO: (PRIVATE DELUXE = 184 +
9 (western union) = 193 euros)
RINJANI TREK CLUB (STANDARD SERVICE = 175 5
(paypal commision) 15 (previous hotel) = 195 euros)
The prices of all of them are more or less similar and
based on the review I browsed, all of them are very polite and helpful.
Porter for
Indonesian
- Local porter : 300.000 IDR/person/night (the standard is for 4 person we need to hire 2 porters. The porter will bring our logistic such as foods, water, tents.)
- Logistic for 4 nights : 200.000/IDR/Person (this is very ordinary menu, do not imagine of having a chicken curry, or roasted chicken as some foreigners have for eating.
- The rest is, you have to bring your personal belongings
- It’s really much cheaper but I don’t recommend this to foreigners, since its limited standard of serving.
2. Choose the routes
There are some routes that you have to consider before going for Rinjani trip. Choosing where you should start the journey is honestly quite tricky, but we can start with the place which mostly hiked by tourists. Sembalun village is the most popular. Even though, it has longer track, the journey would be more enjoyable due to its flat trek.

3. Standard Hiking gears
The Rinjani mountain is the third
highest peak active volcano in Indonesia and absolutely a challenging mountain
walk and you must be prepared with good equipments, warm and windproof clothing
if you want to make adventure trekking to the summit of Rinjani mountain 3726
m.
Wind breaker jacket – try to looking for this kind of jacket will probably so much
helpful especially on the night. Plawangan Sembalun where the camp would be
built are located on 2000 masl. You have to not only concern about the
temperature degree but also the strong wind, particularly on your upcoming
summit attack.
Sleeping bag and mattress – this
is like a mandatory thing of hiking gears, used in order to make your sleep tightly
in a tent.
Shoes – Anything footwear you can
use, please do not ever use sandals because it would be a very long journey,
using sandals will just only evoke such a new problem, either the scratched
feet or broken sandals. If you don’t have hiking shoes, running shoes would be
okay.
Proper Clothes – Don’t bring too
many clothes, just make sure those ones which would be used. For example,
for 5D4N, I brought 1 jacket, 1 sweater, 1 long-sleeves shirt, 2 t-shirt or you
probably need long-john (it’s actually very useful to reduce cold), 2 leggings
(both of them are for trekking), 1 trousers (this one especially for sleep), 3
pair of socks, 1 raincoat, 1 buff, 1 scarf, 1 hat, and 1 sandal. Those i mentioned
above are pretty much enough.
Hiking Bag – It’s actually one of
my friend problems. Well, she did not hike much before hence she thought she
didn’t need to buy a hiking carrier. It’s totally a bad idea, because hiking
carrier is specially made for hikers, this would be affect on how you carry
your loads on your spine.
Trekking Pole – it’s not the
essential things, but you’d need it so much when you climb up the summit. Given the volcanic gravel, the climb
consisted of regularly climbing two steps forward only to slide at least one
back. And use only one is already good enough.
4. Physics and Mental – Do some
exercises at least 2 months before the day. Along with the physics issue, mental is also needed. Prepare your mental, and believe yourself that nothing
is impossible and ensure that miracle will never exist in this case. The one that would brought you to the top and
finish the line is only yourself, no one else.
You probably would said that you were tired either on the half way of the journey or even on the few hours before
the journey finishes. And that would be the moment when you had to convince
yourself to stop complaining and keep walking. It’s just a glimpse mind of a
spoiled human being. After all of these over, you’re going to prove it that
your limit is beyond expectation and proudly say “I finally made it”
5. Camera – Please never say that
you are not good enough of taking a photo because you are not required to be a
good photographer for only keep the moments onto pictures. “Oh i don’t wanna be
too busy taking picture hence I cannot enjoy the view”, that’s bullshit, you’re
not gonna let those moments fade away without any proof, right ?
So bring your
camera for at least doing a selfie on the summit or take a photo of you with
the magnificent Segara Anak Lake as the background.
6. Pray – the last but not least is
praying. Remember, how perfect you have prepared everything, you would not be
able to change the destiny. Pray for the good things and asked for the bad
things to be disappear.
