Our top reviews

One of the best experiences of my life, I’m so happy to have been through Jou Trekking, it made all the difference. Our guide Rudi was great, super professional but also communicative, listening, funny, motivating, the porters are also super inspiring, the whole team was really nice, we spent wonderful times with them and laughed together. They cooked us delicious meals (we talked to other people who had chosen other companies and they lacked food), we really had 5 star meals every day, we lacked everything. There was a fire at Camp 2 because someone threw a cigarette butt (the importance of being respectful of the environment and not throwing away cigarettes or waste!) and rudy offered us another route, it bounced very quickly and we found this second exceptional route, we were even able to swim in rivers and shower, what a joy! Thank you for everything to the whole team, we will leave with you without hesitation!
Ps: they also lent me shoes because I only had sneakers and I couldn’t find hiking shoes for women and my size in the shops, thank you also for that!

What's the Difference Between 2-Day Treks from Senaru and Sembalun?

Sembalun Route
Best for summit enthusiasts! This 2-day trek takes you closest to Peak Rinjani, traversing savanna terrain from start to crater rim. The scenic views from this route are breathtaking, offering a unique perspective on the mountain’s majestic landscape.

Senaru Route
Ideal for those who love lush scenery! This 2-day, 1-night trek takes you through rainforest, offering stunning views of Segara Anak. The tranquil atmosphere and cooler temperatures of the forest make for a refreshing and rejuvenating experience.

What's the Difference Between 3-Day and 4-Day Trekking Packages?

The key difference is the overnight stay at Lake Segara Anak in our 4-day package. This extra night allows you to fully experience the lake’s beauty, relax in the hot springs, and explore the surrounding area without feeling rushed. In contrast, our 3-day package includes a day visit to the lake with lunch and a shower, but no overnight stay.

Is Trekking Mount Rinjani Suitable for Beginners?
