Morning mist lifts off the rice paddies as walkers set out from Tetebatu village, 700m above sea level on Mount Rinjani’s southern flank. The trail slips between terraces and smallholder plots, the air cool and scented with wet earth and tobacco leaves; farmworkers stoop in neat rows, and distant forested ridgelines frame the sky.
