Planning to trek Mount Rinjani? Great choice! Standing tall at 3,726 meters, Mount Rinjani is one of the most beautiful and challenging volcano treks in Southeast Asia. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or a first-time trekker, proper preparation is key to enjoying a safe, comfortable, and unforgettable adventure.
đź‘ź Physical Preparation
Trekking Mount Rinjani is not a walk in the park. The trail is steep, long, and physically demanding. It’s highly recommended to start preparing your body a few weeks in advance with cardio exercises like hiking, jogging, cycling, or stair climbing. Building leg strength and stamina will help you enjoy the trek instead of struggling through it.
🎒 What to Pack for Rinjani
Packing smart can make a big difference on the trail. Here are the essentials:
-
Comfortable trekking shoes (well-broken-in)
-
Lightweight backpack (around 20–30L)
-
Warm clothes (especially for the summit morning)
-
Rain jacket or poncho (weather can be unpredictable)
-
Headlamp or flashlight (for early summit push)
-
Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat
-
Personal medicine and toiletries
-
Power bank for charging devices
-
Snacks and energy bars for the trail
Don’t worry—your trekking operator will usually provide tents, sleeping bags, mattresses, cooking gear, and meals.
🧠Mental Preparation
Don’t underestimate the mental aspect. Some parts of the trail—especially the summit climb—can be tough, cold, and windy. Keep a positive mindset, pace yourself, and don’t compare your progress with others. It’s not a race—it’s a journey!
