Cakrawala Rinjani uses English-speaking guides, porters, camping equipment, cooked meals, and groups of up to eight. Guides such as Rin, San, Ringo, and Awan have earned high praise for patient support.

“What an experience! Beyond the nature, the volcano and so on, Awan and the porters made our days in the nature crazy. From our breakfasts, lunches and dinners, to more explanations from the great Awan about the volcano and the stories about it. We recommend that you ask for trekking poles before you go up and if you don't want to suffer (particularly on the descent of the mountai). You should be fit and have the right equipment to enjoy it properly. With my partner and I are two people in our early 30's with a lot of hiking experience and good equipment and we didn't suffer that much, but…”

Guides such as Fendi, Arid, Aiwan, and Anton have helped past groups, but fitness matters more than speed.

“Ein extrem anstrengendes, aber unvergessliches Abenteuer! Unsere Tour startete um Mitternacht (mit einer eher abenteuerlichen Abholung - die Fahrer kannten unsere Namen nicht und wussten nicht, wen sie abholen und baten uns Plätze auf der Ladefläche an) im Dorf Senaru (vorher dort Übernachtung eigenständig buchen). Es ging insgesamt rund 6–7 Stunden steil bis zum Kraterrand bergauf. Die Wanderung ist körperlich sehr fordernd, besonders in der zweiten Hälfte. Wer keine gute Grundfitness oder Bergerfahrung hat, sollte von dieser Tour eher absehen. Der Sonnenaufgang am Senaru Crater Rim war allerdings absolut magisch – mit spektakulärem Blick auf den Rinjani, den Kratersee und die umliegende La...”

Spend three days crossing Mount Rinjani from Sembalun to Senaru, with a pre-dawn summit climb, crater-lake lunch, hot springs, and two high camps. An English-speaking guide and porters carry camping gear and cook meals. The route is spectacular but very demanding, especially after the summit and on the steep climb from the lake.

“Ma fille et moi étions dans un groupe de 12 entouré de 2 guides et de 5 porteurs. Notre guide Agus a su prendre soin de nous dans les moments difficiles car il y en a. C'est la randonnée la plus difficile que nous avons réalisée. Nous ne sommes pas allées au sommet car c'est très physique. Le dernier jour peut être éprouvant ; 3 h pour atteindre le sommet, 1h30 pour redescendre au camp et 5/6 h de descente. Nous étions bien èquipèes : pantalon et t-shirt thermiques, doudoune. Nous avons dormi tout habillé dans le duvet. Gants et bonnet sont aussi indispensables. Nous avons très bien mangé pendant…”
