It was quite courageous of us to attempt the trip to Lombok with the Ring of Fire so active just a couple of months back.. But who cares? Say some.. If it's gonna happen, it will happen... So there we were...
The scenary was simply breathtaking, and so was the climb (definitely breath-taking)! The 4 days of trek saw us through different kind of landscape. There's rich rainforest, lotsa greeneries, European look-alike, turqoise crater lake that looks like you have reached paradise, hot springs, and finally the volcano ashes, and then there was the descent that don't feel like we were descending. Why the hack didn't we go up this way??? Oh ya, there was the elves who ran past us making me feel as though I'm the hobbit in LOTR..
The beauty of Rinjani, that I cant describe in words, nor can you view it enough in pictures, you really have to be there yourself to indulge in its beauty.
Note: Please do not attempt the climb without 'wet tissue'.
