The Jati Trek |
|
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.
