One Day Trek Mount Rinjani

Rudy our guide was fantastic, a really sweet man who looked after us very well! I Wanted to leave this review here to let people know that getting to the Senaru crater rim and back in one day is HARD. If you don’t consistently gym/run/cycle between 3/4 days a week at minimum then don’t do this (unless you love to hurt). This hike isn’t heavy on the chest/lungs but it is extremely heavy on your lower body and knees. There are two directions on this hike, up or down and it is relentless, there is no in-between. If you have bad knees or have known them to give out on long hikes, wear a brace because they will go on this hike and you may do irreparable damage. I would even suggest a brace for those who don’t know, just in case. That being said, it’s incredibly rewarding and you only realize just how crazy a hike with 2000m elevation gain in a single day is once you’re on the way down and think wow this is steep…like really steep. We had an hour at the rim, you won’t get much longer if you want to make it back the same day. The view is incredible and totally worth the pain. In all the hike is challenging, rewarding and an experience to remember. I recommend Jou trekking.

We had an unforgettable experience with rody and his team! They were incredibly helpful and accommodating, especially when my mom's slower pace required them to adjust their tempo. Initially, we thought a one-day trip would be sufficient, but rody and his team recommended a two-day trip, which turned out to be a great decision. The extra day allowed us to truly appreciate the beauty of nature, including the stunning night sky and breathtaking sunsets and sunrises from two different spots. The food provided by the team was not only delicious but also came in huge portions. rody excellent English and helpful nature made the experience even more enjoyable. If you're not used to trekking, I highly recommend opting for the two-day trip – it's definitely worth it!

We choose the 2D1N formula and had an amazing experience with Joutrekking, from the pick-up all the way up to Rinjani! Our guide Nas and the porters are outstanding and made the trekking unforgettable, and incredibly smooth! They adapted their pace to our rythme, provided us with yummy food all along the trek and were incredibly kind, generous and smiley during the whole trip! Thank you for this unforgettable experience and for the swift organisation, it was all worth it thanks to you, 6/5 stars !!
