It was lovely to be guided by a local woman through her traditional village and to the impressive waterfalls around Mt. Rinjani. Thank you for the experience.

The team at Rinjani Women Adventure were amazing! The hike itself was well organised and comfortable and our guide and porters were fantastic. Katni and everyone at Rinjani Women Adventure are inspiring and run a great service.

This was an amazing experience. We did the 3 day trek and was blown away. We each had a porter that carried all our food and camp setup. The food they cooked for us was amazing and they never repeated a meal. Honestly I have no idea how they do it. Our guide was amazing as well. It was the most challenging hike I’ve done to date (the summit being the hardest) but we made it in time for the sunrise!

Rudy does a great job providing an excellent mountain experience. The guest house is beautiful, and the trek is well organized. Our guide, Hari, did a great job leading us up the mountain. He kept a good schedule, adjusted the pace as needed, and gave us accurate time estimates to each resting point. We never waited long for our meals and they were always a huge portion - I never felt hungry. The porters were amazing in there ability to haul our supplies up the mountain, and cook us fantastic food. Overall a really great experience with seasoned porters and guides.
