Let’s Get You Ready for the Adventure of a Lifetime!
If you’re dreaming of climbing Mount Rinjani, you’re about to check off one of the most epic experiences in Indonesia. This page will walk you through everything you need to know before hitting the trail — how to get here, when to come, and what to pack. Whether you’re coming solo, with friends, or with family, we’ve got you covered!
🛬 How to Get to Mount Rinjani
Mount Rinjani is located on Lombok Island, just east of Bali. Getting here is easier than you think, and once you book with us, we’ll assist you every step of the way!
✈️ Coming by Air
Fly to Lombok International Airport (LOP) – there are daily flights from:
-
Bali (Denpasar)
-
Jakarta
-
Surabaya
-
Kuala Lumpur
-
Singapore
We offer airport pick-up and drop-off services — just share your flight details and we’ll be there with a smile and a welcome drink (just kidding… or maybe not 😉).
⛵ Coming by Boat
If you’re staying in Bali or the Gili Islands, the fast boat is a scenic way to travel. Boats arrive at Bangsal Harbor or Teluk Nare in North Lombok.
From there, we can arrange a private car transfer to your accommodation or directly to the starting village (Senaru or Sembalun).
🌤️ When is the Best Time to Trek?
The trekking season for Mount Rinjani runs from April to December each year. The national park closes during the rainy season for safety and environmental reasons.
Here’s a breakdown to help you plan:
| Month | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| April – June | Fresh green landscapes, fewer crowds |
| July – August | Peak season, amazing weather, book early! |
| September – Nov | Clear skies, mild temperatures, quiet |
| Dec – March | CLOSED (rainy season & park maintenance) |
Pro tip: Book early if you plan to hike in July or August – it’s the busiest time of the year!
