Camping, eating and sleeping next to a smouldering volcano.. AMAZING. The view indescribable. The hike was very challenging but the porter was great and friendly. The only down fall about the whole experience was the lack of toilet! But don't let that put you off.

They really take good care of you, try to make sure that you will be on the best spots first and are just... More

Went to Mt. Rinjani with a group of 8 and hired Galangijo for the trip. Before anything else, I must warn anyone who will attempt to climb this mountain, it is NOT for beginners. I have never climbed a mountain in my life, and we told the company about this. Unfortunately, they do not customize the itinerary, so we still... More

Unless you are very fit, this is a testing trek even without the climb to... More
