Mount rinjani trek experience

Reviewed February 23, 2017

We enjoyed our two day one night tour on 16 February had  two porters, one trekking guide. we started via senaru and ending in senaru. Ram our guide was friendly and knowledgeable with good English and although the porters didn't speak any English, they were really friendly and courteous. We stayed the night at light houses hotels lhuna adventure prepare for us. the night before the trek which was charming and peaceful with friendly staff. When we arrived at the homestay we were taken on a tour of local waterfalls (really worth doing) by a guide who was really friendly and eager to show us other special sights of the surrounding area an amazing mount rinjani can be seen after the cloud gone.

During the trek, Ram was careful to check that we were comfortable with the pace he was setting and we were also provided with walking poles which were extremely handy (other trekkers didn't have these poles and we were really glad we did!). The food on the trek was really good and there was plenty of it. We were given the choice of fresh food and clean meal  over both days which ram and the porters cooked for us. We were even given water orange  for the senaru crater or campsites, at the envy of the other campers. The tent and associated equipment was of a high standard and we were cosy throughout the night (we even had little pillows). Overall we had a great experience with this tour - ram and our porters couldn't have done more for us which made the tour well worth the money and really enjoyable.

Thank you for lhuna adventure for organising our trip we was so lucky to booked the trip and get the worth experience and brilliant service. Highly recommend for trekkers can joined with lhuna adventure and find excellent service and very comfort on the trek.

Reviewed December 24, 2016

We had awesome trekking experience in mount rinjani, we took 2 day 1 night trekking program till top 3,726 starting in East sembalun ending in Sembalun following one routes go and back. The first day trek Quite easy for 3 and half hours till basecamp 3 1800 mtr. Than we had to climbing a 7 hill for tree hours. This was hardest but the views to the villages is true wonderful, all the grassland we saw it and the ocean. After one and half hour walking through the hill than we get more steps approximate 25 degrees step up on hill numbers 5. And the clouds come up following the dry river and heading us and little rain for one hours during the trek at hill number 6 and 7. But we prepared all as raincoat and daylight bag pack cover. After 3 hours 25 minute climbing at 7 hill finally we reached the Plawangan 2 sembalun village with the happy think and great mind because the tent has stand up and ready to used. 05:30 Pm the weather is getting clear and we can seen the sunset and lake while enjoy our dinner and tent. My guide aripin and porter manom was great helpful and good patients they are strong always reach on time even the y are carrying to much thing as our personal item as trekking eQuipment, food and drink mostly 27 kg that is horrible work. This is unbelieving he can reach more early then us.

Day 2 we have to weak up so early and get some light breakfast and cup of hot drink than weprepared owncameras and extra jacket and another stuff to bring to the summit, the first we are so lazy to Wark in the dark and still sleepy. But we think this is our mission and we have payed this very expensive for the trip and see the sunrise from mt rinjani is our dreaming. Than we push our minds to climbing the summit and our guide Ipin always give us motivated.

03:00 AM we started our journey to top and walked in meet night with dark light no sun and no moon light just head light. Feeling cold and sleepy make us more lazy but we have to do. Than after had walked one hours we got spirit and more feel warm always move up step by step the reach first top. Got a water drink and go on till top. But one hours before top is really challenges and hardest mostly step 30 degree with sleepry steps and sandy gravels this was killed and needed extra powered. One hours done we had walked in the last hardest and got some break for a minute the sunrises began to appear and the views screen is started to sawing. The awesome sunrise and the wonderful views makes us wanna stay for three hours but at top was so prizing. After take lot of spectacular views over the lake and all of lombok views from the top and started decent down to campsite but from way down to camp the views is absolutely amazing too we seen surrounded of lake and in the ocean mostly East and North and west lombok can be seen at way down to camp. 2 hours 30 minutes than we reached the campsite and having rest, Breakfasts than packed everything than back down to bottom for 5 hours with low conditions. Than got luch at post at same place where the place we had Lanch at first day. Than 3 hours more than end the trip in easy walk start post 3 to sembalun gates. Thank for the porter and guide all is great and awesome thank for Lhuna Adventure trekking company he is one of best for us to joined, great trekking organizer with friendly and professional trekking.

Mount Rinjani trekking excellent

Reviewed September 27, 2016

Highly recommend for rinjani trekking team and trekking company in Senaru north lombok. Specialy and truely love our adventure experience in mount rinjani lombok indonesia.

We are four person #chun ley, wang pay fey peen and me  just come back from our  adventure  to Mount Rinjani and relax now cuple days on the kuta lombok nearly international port in lombok islands. We ve booked the tour with small trekking company but was helpful and simple person, what was a very good decision. The hospitality and service of Lun Expeditions and his team was overwhelming. On the evening before we started the trek we were invited for dinner in Lun ' house. We got a delicious traditional meal and heard many interesting, funny and exciting stories about Rinjani and the trek, so we could wait to start our adventure. The trek was quite hard, especially the way up to the summit, but our guide Awink was making a very professional job and he and the porters made everything to make our adventure as comfortable as possible. Lun expeditions is using a menu card on the tour, so we could choose of a multitude of meals and were everytime suprised with another fantastic meal. All other trekkers we met on the way have envied us for our fresh fruit and soft drink, the excellent food and the great service of our team. When we came back from the trek, Lun the owned of company  was already waiting for us and brought us to his house, where we could refresh and rest, before we left Senaru. For us "Lun expeditions" is simply the best organiser and we would recommend everybody to book his Rinjani trek with this company.

The point program she have zero trash" removed the rubbish in the areas mount rinjani and with honestly mind we love to help team to makes clean and Rinjani from the thousand of visitor in national park mount rinjani. Our guide" awink " say lun is the owned give them extra payment for porter and guide for bring back the plastics garbage from mount rinjani. This program is helpful for all visitor and great example for another trekking operated. We love to join again this adventure in next summer holiday probably with all of my parents.
