In this episode of The Lombok Life, I give you an in-depth look at how to climb Mount Rinjani. At 3726m, this is Indonesia's second tallest volcano and it is no joke! In 2017 it was one of the hardest things I've ever done, so I wanted to test myself again. Also, in 2018 the volcano was rocked by the Lombok earthquakes so I was intrigued to meet up with old friends and see how things have changed...
This episode is split into two parts with this first part focusing on our first day of climbing up from Sembalun to the crater rim. I hope this gives you a really good idea of what it's like to climb Mount Rinjani. Enjoy!
