Putu Negara | Director
Rinjani Trekking Center is a licensed and experienced trekking operator for Mount Rinjani on Lombok Island, Indonesia. We have been providing services since 1997 and officially established our brand in June 2013. Our home base is in Senaru Village, North Lombok—one of the main gateways to Mount Rinjani National Park—with representative offices at all main park entrances.
We are genuine organizers, not middlemen or agents. Our focus is solely on organizing treks to Mount Rinjani and providing related services to ensure your safety, enjoyment, and an unforgettable adventure. We take care of transportation, guides, porters, food and drinks, equipment, and all necessary documents for your trek.
Most of our team members are professionals in the hospitality and tourism industry. Even our Director is a graduate of the Faculty of Tourism and Management, with more than 15 years of experience in hotels, restaurants, bars, diving, tours, and transportation services.
Trekking a mountain is a challenging activity and can be dangerous. That is why we strictly follow every regulation mandated by the government. These include keeping groups small, preparing mandatory safety equipment, and ensuring proper waste management. Every trek is led by experienced guides trained in first aid and mountain rescue procedures.
One of our mottos is “Empowering Local Communities.” Around 99% of our crew and staff are local people. Becoming trekking crew has significantly improved their lives. Before Mount Rinjani became a major tourist destination, many locals worked as migrant workers abroad—often in Malaysia—leaving their families behind without much improvement in their economic condition.
Mount Rinjani has greatly boosted the local economy. Those who do not speak English can work as mountain porters. Those with driving skills and a license can become drivers. Others are involved in logistics, equipment rentals, and homestays. By choosing us, you are directly supporting the livelihoods of Lombok’s communities.
Education is the key. At first, many crew members did not pay attention to waste management because they lacked awareness of sustainable tourism. Slowly but surely, most of them now take waste management seriously. As a company, we never stop educating our staff, while also giving rewards and penalties. At Rinjani Trekking Center, bringing back all rubbish is mandatory.
We are committed to eco-trekking principles: reducing plastic waste, respecting local culture, and leaving no trace behind. Together with our trekkers, we aim to preserve Mount Rinjani for future generations.
Mount Rinjani is not just a mountain—it’s an experience of a lifetime. Imagine watching the sunrise above the clouds, soaking in the breathtaking view of Segara Anak crater lake, and walking alongside friendly local porters who share their stories and smiles. Every trek is more than just a climb—it’s a journey of nature, culture, and self-discovery.
