Some trekkers have died while attempting the summit on their own.

1. Reliable flashlight and a backup light source.
2. Cold weather clothing in layers. Temperatures at the top of Rinjani can dip close to freezing.
3. Solid hiking boots. Sandals will not be adequate for the trek.
4. Rain gear.
5. Snacks to replace the calories burned while on the trail.
6. Several bottles of water - you will need more than your guide can carry.

Getting Mount Rinjani

When to Go

 

The only suitable time to trek up Gunung Rinjani are during the dry months between May and October. Peak season is from June to August. Mud, clouded views, and dangerous footing make attempting the trek during the rainy season hardly worth the effort.
