Recently many have been asking about Mt Rinjani and so I shall break it down into 3 stages.

1st stage - Day 1 - Long tiring gradual incline trail walk to base camp. 

2nd stage - Day 2 - Here is the tough part. From the base camp, steep incline climbing to the summit. The journey to the top is tough as the biggest challenge is that every step you take might bring you two,three steps back due to its uneven surface. Upon reaching the summit, you have about a hour or two to enjoy the spectacular view before heading back down to the base camp. The journey back down could be quite knee hurting but you can take your time to slowly descent back to the base camp.

3rd Stage - Final day - After a good sleep at the base camp, it is time to head back to the village. Smooth easy trail back down. After conquering stage 2, stage 3 will be filled with smiles as you descent down back to the village.

All in all Mount Rinjani is tough but definitely worth it.
