9. Guides, Porters & Local Commitment

All Green Rinjani guides and porters are proud local residents of Senaru and Sembalun, dedicated to ensuring every trek is safe, enjoyable, and environmentally responsible.

Each team member is professionally trained in:

• First aid and mountain navigation
• Waste management and eco-ethics
• Guest safety and emergency procedures

Team Allocation

• 1 Guide : 4 Guests
• 1 Porter : 1 Guest
  (Extra team members can be arranged upon request for additional comfort or safety.)

For Deluxe Programs longer than 2 days and 1 night, Green Rinjani provides an additional porter allocation to maintain comfort and ensure proper logistics.
For example, two guests on a 3D2N Deluxe trek will be accompanied by three porters allowing each porter to carry a lighter load and guaranteeing that all camping, kitchen, and meal supplies are more than sufficient throughout the journey.

This approach not only improves the trekking experience for guests but also reflects Green Rinjani’s commitment to porter welfare and ethical trekking standards  making sure no one carries excessive weight and every team member works under fair, humane conditions.

Green Rinjani provides all guides and porters with fair pay, quality equipment, insurance coverage, and safe working conditions because caring for our team means caring for every guest’s experience.

Beyond the mountain, every trek you join helps strengthen our community.
Your participation directly supports local schools, reforestation programs, and community empowerment initiatives across North Lombok – helping preserve both nature and culture for the next generation.

3. Summary – Key Takeaways (Updated November 2025) on Mount Rinjani official information

Mount Rinjani trekking regulations and ticket prices have been officially updated by the Mount Rinjani National Park Authority (BTNGR).
These rules apply to all licensed operators, including Green Rinjani.
Below is the latest and verified information, based on real updates from the Green Rinjani field operations team.

14. About the Trekking Routes – Our Current Operations on Mount Rinjani official information

Mount Rinjani National Park features several official trekking routes, each offering unique terrain, views, and experiences.
At this time, Green Rinjani officially organizes trekking programs through the three primary routes Senaru, Sembalun, and Torean recognized by the National Park as Class 1 routes for their safety and accessibility.

Senaru Route

The Senaru Route begins on Rinjani’s lush northern slope and passes through dense rainforest, waterfalls, and volcanic ridges.
It leads to the famous Senaru Crater Rim (2,641 m), known for its breathtaking sunset views over Segara Anak Lake and the Gili Islands.
This route is ideal for trekkers seeking a balanced adventure between culture and nature, starting right near the local villages and waterfalls of Senaru.

Sembalun Route

The Sembalun Route, starting from the eastern valley, is the most direct access to the Rinjani Summit (3,726 m).
Trekkers ascend gradually across open savanna, reaching the Sembalun Crater Rim (2,639 m) before the midnight summit climb.
It is popular for its wide panoramic views, gentle elevation gain, and unforgettable sunrise moments above the clouds.

Torean Route

The Torean Route offers a completely different atmosphere green valleys, hot springs, waterfalls, and river crossings.
It is the most natural and scenic descent route, often used after summit or Segara Anak programs.
Torean gives trekkers a peaceful return journey, surrounded by pure wilderness and the sound of flowing water.

Routes Under Evaluation – Timbanuh & Tetebatu

The Timbanuh and Tetebatu routes, located on the southern and eastern sides of Mount Rinjani, were recently opened by the National Park for exploration.
However, Green Rinjani does not yet operate treks on these routes, as our priority is safety, quality, and environmental responsibility.
We will expand to these new trails once our team is fully trained and route logistics meet our eco-operation standards.

For now, we remain focused on maintaining the highest quality operations, reliable safety standards, and strong environmental protection on the three established routes: Senaru, Sembalun, and Torean.

15. Why Green Rinjani – Who We Are and What We Stand For

At Green Rinjani, we don’t copy we innovate.
Everything written on this page comes from our real operational experience, not imitation or second-hand information.
While many companies have followed our path and even copied our website content, we remain the original source of verified, field-based knowledge built from more than a decade of service on the mountain.

Green Rinjani Our Legacy

Founded in 2011, Green Rinjani is one of the first eco-trekking companies on Mount Rinjani, and a proud pioneer of responsible adventure tourism in Lombok.
Since our early years, we have combined adventure, conservation, and education to create meaningful travel experiences that protect both nature and community.

Because of our consistent quality, service ethics, and environmental care, Green Rinjani has been recognized and nominated by the Mount Rinjani National Park Authority as one of the top performing trekking operators in Lombok especially for our long-term dedication to safety, sustainability, and community empowerment.

Our influence extends beyond our own team many companies have tried to follow our model, imitate our service system, and even copy our content.
But leadership isn’t about imitation. It’s about consistency, honesty, and the courage to set new standards that others can learn from.

What Makes Green Rinjani  Different

  We provide a full package transport, accommodation, park permit, meals, guides, and equipment all arranged directly by our in-house team.
  Guests only need to book once; we handle everything else with precision and care.

  This ensures safety, comfort, and privacy from the moment you land in Lombok until you reach Senaru or Sembalun.
• Fair & Ethical Operations

  This ensures that our porters are never overburdened, logistics are abundant, and all guests are fully supported physically and emotionally.
• Premium Equipment Every Season
  Each trekking season, Green Rinjani replaces and upgrades its camping gear from tents to sleeping bags ensuring cleanliness, comfort, and durability.
  We only use trusted outdoor brands, and our equipment inventory changes yearly based on the latest reliable models available.

16. Closing Statement – The Green Rinjani Difference

Green Rinjani is more than a trekking operator – it’s a reflection of a decade-long commitment to honesty, education, and environmental stewardship.
Since 2011, we’ve been leading treks up Mount Rinjani with one purpose: to inspire others to respect nature while enjoying its beauty.

We believe that climbing Rinjani is not just a physical challenge – it’s a personal journey.
Every hiker climbs for a different reason: some for fitness, some for photography, others simply to breathe fresh mountain air and feel alive.
That’s why we remind all trekkers to respect one another’s purpose, keep the peace on the trail, and remember that every climber has equal rights to enjoy this sacred mountain.

Over the years, we’ve seen how many new operators have followed the path we started — adopting zero-waste systems, improving gear quality, and promoting sustainability.
We are proud of this impact because our goal has always been to educate, not compete.
By inspiring others, we help protect Rinjani together.

Today, Green Rinjani stands recognized not just for service excellence, but for being a role model in environmental care, guest safety, and community involvement.
Our continuous collaboration with local authorities and park rangers helps ensure that Rinjani remains safe, clean, and open for generations to come.

When you choose Green Rinjani, you are not just booking a trek,
you are supporting an organization that was built from the ground up by locals, driven by passion, responsibility, and love for Rinjani.

We are not here to follow trends -we set them.
We are not imitators – we are educators.
And above all, we are the original eco-trekking company that helped shape what responsible tourism on Mount Rinjani means today.

Green Rinjani – The Original Eco Trekking Company Since 2011.
