About Rinjani Trekking Special

We guide climbers
safely to peaks,
leaving zero trace.

Rinjani Trekking Special started in Sembalun Village with one primary goal: to offer safe, professional, and ethical mountain climbing tours while elevating local Sasak porter livelihoods and actively cleaning Mount Rinjani's slopes. Today, we are one of Lombok's premier trekking crews.

What we stand for

Four guiding principles define our camp, guide, and porter operations to ensure a sustainable and safe volcanic adventure.

Safety First

Mountain trails are unpredictable. All our guides are wilderness-first-aid certified, carry active pulse oximeters, and pack full emergency oxygen kits.

Leave No Trace

Rinjani is our sacred sanctuary. We strictly enforce a Zero-Plastic eco climbing policy, packing down all camp waste and cleaning trails daily.

Porter Welfare

We believe in fair wages, standard load limits (max 20kg), warm sleeping gears, and full medical coverage for our amazing porters and mountain cooks.

Sasak Hospitality

Climbing Rinjani is a hard journey, but we keep your camp cozy with double-layered dome tents, thick sleeping mattresses, and freshly cooked 3-course local meals.
