Rinjani Women Adventure

6 reviews

Katni is a force of nature. She is the very first woman guide in Rinjani. When she first started guiding in Rinjani, it was taboo for women to lead hikes in the deeply patriarchal society of Lombok. So she started her own guiding business (still the only female-owned business in Rinjani!), and hired women as guides. Through her work, she's singlehandedly shattered taboos in Rinjani, changed mindsets of men and women in Lombok, and have given women opportunities to earn an income.

Rudy started out as a guide taking travellers up Mt Rinjani. Rudy was so good at it that, over the years, he has managed to build and train up a team of guides to have the same keen attention to customer service as he has. Rudy's team is one of the best at Mt Rinjani and they will take immaculate care of every detail of your trip - including providing a hot shower at the end of your trek before you head off to your next destination!
