Warnings:
The Rinjani Trek is a
challenging mountain walk and you must be prepared with
good equipment, warm and windproof clothing. Rinjani can
attract severe storms, lightening and strong winds. When
the weather is settled, the sun is intense and the
nights frosty. Parts of the trail are steep and
slippery. Beware of bad weather and risks of exposure to
the wet and cold (hypothermia). If caught in an
electrical storm, take shelter and avoid prominent
ridges. Beware of snakes, and stinging insects and
plants. Leeches can be a nuisance in the wet season.
Volcanic Hazards:
Although Mt. Rinjani has
not erupted in recorded history, Mt. Baru (2,363m) in
the crater lake is an active volcano. It last erupted
dramatically in 1994. Check the notice boards for recent
hazards, and take advice from park staff and guides.
Spring Water: Fresh water springs are a feature of the
trek and determine campsites. Your guide knows where
these are. During the drier months (July-September) some
springs completely disappear. Park staff and guides
constantly monitor these water sources to determine
their abundance.

that your guide is carrying a radio handset. Radios are
