Conjunction with No Roads
Expeditions, In May 2007, we conducted the first ever ascent
of Rinjani from the southern village of Timbanuh. This
awesome journey took us to the never explored southern rim,
down to the shores of the lake, where we used inflatable
rafts to take us to Gunung Baru base camp. We then headed to
Rinjani's summit and ended the expedition in the beautiful
Senaru. |

The Expedition
This expedition was the first of its kind and should still
be considered by those with an adventurous spirit, a
flexible mind and a strong body.
The expedition will attempt the Rinjani summit from inside
the calderas, up to the final summit ridge that is used
today. We will approach this side of the mountain from the
southern rim via Timbanuh. From there we will head to Segara
Anak and then use inflatable to transport us to the shores
of our first base camp. This camp will be used to explore
the base of the active volcano, Gunung Baru, and then
ultimately climb its 500m slope to its rim. We will peer
into the calderas of a mountain that only erupted last year.
From base camp 1 we will start our push to Rinjani's summit
from inside the calderas, up its western slope to the
present day base camp. We will camp and the following day
summit Rinjani, returning to Senaru via the normal route.
On the southern sections, ropes will be used to assist
trekkers down the steep cliff faces. This is a truly unique
way to climb one of the best volcanoes in the world. |

Itinerary
Day 01
Early morning we leave to hotel for Timbanuh village, it
takes around 2 hrs driving.
Then start for the beginning of a challenging 8 hour day. We
head for Timbanuh on Rinjani's southern slope. From there we
will climb to the south rim. Awesome views over the lake,
Bali and Rinjani's summit.
Day 02
After a delicious breakfast, we head down to the lake which
we believe won't take too long. From there we set up the
inflatable and paddle towards Gunung Baru. Set up camp at
the base of Gunung Baru.
Day 03
Today we will climb to the summit of Gunung Baru and look
inside an active volcano. The going will be very tough as
the slopes are pure scoria. Back to base camp. Hot spring
baths to sooth our bodies.
Day 04
Today we climb the inner calderas to the present base camp.
Great views again and anticipation of summit day tomorrow.
Day 05
Early morning wake up call, 2am. We head off for Rinjani's
summit and hopefully reach it by sun rise. We will be aided
by a full moon. Back down to the lake and other hot springs.
Day 06
Trek to the northern rim where we will camp for the night
and see exactly the journey we have just done.
Day 07
Back down to Senaru for a nice shower, food and a walk to
the local waterfalls. Great little village and a must see.
If we are lucky we may get involved in some local Sasak
stick fighting.
