Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Rinjani National Park requires a licensed guide for all trekkers. What's the toilet/camp situation? Basic camp facilities; this is backcountry camping, not a lodge. What should I pack? Warm layers for the summit night (it gets cold), a headlamp, and sturdy trekking shoes — ask us for the full packing list on WhatsApp.
