A wind-whipped ridge opens before the group as they climb through thinning forest toward the summit of Mt Rinjani. On clear mornings the view slices across Lombok to the sea; when clouds close in, the crater lake and steam from hot springs appear like an inland ocean held in volcanic stone.

Start pre-dawn for the summit push
Most summit attempts begin before sunrise to avoid midday heat and to reach the peak for sunrise; bring a reliable headlamp.
Use local guides and porters
Guides know route conditions, campsite placement and water resupply points—book them through the operator for safety and local support.
Layer for cold summit temps
Summit temperatures can drop below freezing—bring an insulated jacket, gloves and a warm hat even in the dry season.
Prepare for loose scree
Expect long stretches of volcanic scree on the ascent and descent—sturdy boots and trekking poles reduce fatigue and slips.
Sturdy hiking boots
Support and grip for steep, loose volcanic scree and mixed terrain.
Insulated jacket and layers
Summit temperatures can be freezing—layers trap heat and manage sweat.
Trekking poles
Poles help control descents on scree and reduce knee strain on long downhills.
Headlamp with spare batteries
Early starts for the summit push require reliable lighting and hands-free operation.
