A Local Team at the Heart of Your Journey
Behind every Jou Trekking adventure is a team of guides, porters, drivers, and accommodation providers. Our guides lead the way and support guests through demanding sections of the trail. Our porters carry camping equipment, food, and water, prepare meals, and set up camp while you focus on the hike.
We work with people from the communities around Rinjani, helping trekking tourism contribute to local livelihoods. Their effort and hospitality shape the experience we offer, from your arrival in Senaru to your final descent.
Small Groups and Personal Attention
Our group tours have a maximum of four trekkers per group. Keeping groups small gives our guides more opportunity to offer encouragement, answer questions, and support individual guests during the trek.
Private treks are also available on request. Whether you are traveling as a couple, with friends, or on your own, our team can help you understand the options and choose an itinerary suited to your fitness, interests, and available
Find the Right Rinjani Trek for You
For travelers seeking a demanding challenge, our summit treks climb to Mount Rinjani’s highest point at 3,726 meters. Longer itineraries offer opportunities to explore Segara Anak Lake, visit the natural hot springs, and experience more of the mountain’s changing landscapes.
For those who prefer an adventure without the main summit ascent, the Senaru Crater Rim trek combines rainforest hiking with overnight camping above the caldera. We also offer Second Summit adventures, challenging one-day crater-rim hikes, and itineraries through Torean’s valleys when access permits.
Available routes depend on National Park access and mountain conditions. We help you understand the demands of each itinerary before you book.
Thoughtful Preparation and Comfortable Camping
Our multi-day treks include guides, porters, meals, drinking water, and camping equipment. Tents, sleeping bags, mattresses, pillows, and a toilet tent help make your nights on the mountain more comfortable. Jackets, headlamps, trekking poles, and gloves are also available to borrow.
Choose a trek-only option or a package with transportation and accommodation before your hike. Our Senaru guesthouse provides a convenient base, and extra luggage can be stored there while you trek. Guests carry their personal hiking backpacks; our team can explain what to bring and what we provide.
Please check your selected package for its exact inclusions and tell us about any dietary requirements before your trip so we can discuss suitable arrangements
Trek Responsibly, Leave No Trace
Rinjani is both our workplace and part of our home. At Jou Trekking, we plan our treks to minimize our impact on the mountain and help protect the landscapes that make each journey special.
We follow the “Leave No Trace” and “Pack In, Pack Out” principles on every trek. Everything we bring onto the mountain—including food packaging and other waste—is carried back down and disposed of properly. We ask every guest to join us in keeping the trails and campsites clean, respecting the natural environment, and following National Park rules.
Through these shared efforts, we help preserve Rinjani’s forests, crater rims, lake shores, and valleys for local communities, fellow trekkers, and future generations to enjoy.

We value this feedback and use it to improve how we prepare, communicate with, and care for our guests.
