This was an amazing experience. We did the 3 day trek and was blown away. We each had a porter that carried all our food and camp setup. The food they cooked for us was amazing and they never repeated a meal. Honestly I have no idea how they do it. Our guide was amazing as well. It was the most challenging hike I’ve done to date (the summit being the hardest) but we made it in time for the sunrise!

Rudy does a great job providing an excellent mountain experience. The guest house is beautiful, and the trek is well organized. Our guide, Hari, did a great job leading us up the mountain. He kept a good schedule, adjusted the pace as needed, and gave us accurate time estimates to each resting point. We never waited long for our meals and they were always a huge portion - I never felt hungry. The porters were amazing in there ability to haul our supplies up the mountain, and cook us fantastic food. Overall a really great experience with seasoned porters and guides.

Wonderful hike (summit plus Torean descent) - I highly recommend that route! Our Guide Kundin was super helpful and knowledgeable and the food was always great. Transfers from Airport and to the Gili Islands were organized by Rudy Trekker. I found the ascent to be more challenging than Gunung Kinabalu due to the sandy terrain, just in case someone needs a point of reference:)

We had a wonderful half day walking through the kampungs and rice fields around Senaru. Yumi and Malai were wonderful guides who were happy to share their knowledge on the culture, flora and fauna of the region. We finished up with a visit to a beautiful waterfall but the absolute highlight for us had to be having a delicious dinner of local dishes (the tempeh was wonderful) while sat in a farmers bamboo shack in the middle of the rice terraces. Definitely recommend the walk and Rinjani women adventure we will definitely use them again when we next back in Lombok - perhaps we will do the volcano next time!!

A really beautiful and interesting trek. Our guides were knowledgeable and easy to chat with, and took great care of us. We saw stunning waterfalls, jungle, rice paddy, and traditional village life. We also had a delicious picnic lunch in the middle of the paddy fields. Everything was smooth and well organised and communication was excellent. Thank you!
