Indonesia’s Mount Rinjani in Lombok is regarded as a sacred mountain by locals, and is the second highest – at 3,746m – volcanic mountain in Indonesia.
I had the privilege to climb this mountain almost a decade ago, but my memory of it is still fresh. I was with a group of Malaysian hikers, though we only managed to meet at the airport in Lombok before going on a three-hour drive to Sembalun, the starting point of our trek.
When we got to our chalets, our porters and local guides were already preparing for our three-day trek up Mount Rinjani. They would help us carry our tents, sleeping bags/mats, food and drinking water during the climb.
What’s funny is that the locals only brought along a sarong to keep them warm at night, and trekked with sandals or simple shoes while I was decked out in a wind-proof jacket, wooly winter socks, thermal innerwear and special hiking footwear.
