OVERVIEW
Rinjani Trekking Club has been taking adventurers to the summit of Gunung Rinjani since 1997. Since then we have placed more international tourists on her summit than any other company. We have an intimate knowledge of the Gunung Rinjani National Park, what is the best time of year to travel, when to break camp, which is the best route etc.
In May 2007, we will be conducting the first ever ascent of Rinjani from the southern village of Aibuka. This awesome journey will take us to the never explored southern rim, down to the shores of the lake, where will use inflatable rafts to take us to Gunung Baru base camp. Gunung Baru which is still active. We will then head to Rinjani's summit and end the expedition in the beautiful Senaru.
We are also proudly establishing Indonesia's first Clothing Bank on the island of Lombok. For each client signing up for the Rinjani expedition, No Roads Expeditions( www.noroads.com.au ) will donate a warm and water proof jacket to the Clothing Bank.
THE EXPEDITION
This expedition is the first of its kind and should only be considered by those with an adventurous spirit, a flexible mind and a strong body.
The expedition will attempt the Rinjani summit from inside the calderas, up to the final summit ridge that is used today. We will approach this side of the mountain from the southern rim via Aibuka. From there we will head to Segara Anak and then use inflatable to transport us to the shores of our first base camp. This camp will be used to explore the base of the active volcano, Gunung Baru, and then ultimately climb its 500m slope to its rim. We will peer into the calderas of a mountain that only erupted last year.
From base camp 1 we will start our push to Rinjani's summit from inside the calderas, up its western slope to the present day base camp. We will camp and the following day summit Rinjani, returning to Senaru via the normal route.
This is a truly unique way to climb one of the best volcanoes in the world. The expedition is also open to parasailers and hang gliders who believe they can can reach Rinjani' summit.
ITINERARY
