A clear packing list makes the Mount Rinjani trek much easier and ensures you are prepared for the changing weather, steep terrain, and cold summit conditions. Every hiker carries their own personal backpack, while porters handle all group equipment, so it is important to bring only what you truly need. Anything unnecessary can be stored safely at our homestay in Senaru before the trek begins.
