My girlfriend and I visited Mount Kerinci during February of 2019. Our guide was Endatno Een. He was mentioned on the tripadvisor page multiple times and came highly recommended. And rightfully so. Afer contacting Endatno he basically managed our entire trip for us by giving us advice on how to reach Kerinci, where to stay and so on. We were quite worried about the weather back then as we had heard that weather conditions during that time of year are often not perfect and the weather can change quite fast. Endatno gave us a realistic assessment of the situation though and encouraged us to do the hike even though we might get wet. For that we are grateful because the hike itself was amazing even though we did get wet (like extremely wet) on the way down. The reason why the hike was so great for us was the vegetation that changed with each stage of the mountain, the chance to see some rare animals as well as the specacular view from the summit area. When the sky cleared you were able to see the Kerinci valley other mountain areas and even the ocean at the horizon. The hike itself was not extremely easy but definetly manageable as we are not experienced hikers and only somewhat sporty. It was important to have Endatno though as he and his colleague carried the supplies and the tent and you definetly need a guide for directions. All in all the hike on Mount Kerinci made for an unforgettable experience and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great experience off the beaten track to give it a try. And give Endatno a call. With him you got the right guide! Cheers.

I was guided by Mr Endatno (endatno@gmail.com) for a 2 days/ 1 night trek to the mount. For a really reasonnable price, he will welcome you from your arrival in the village before the hike and help you for everything you'll need about transportation to your next stop, accomodation and so on. I highly recommend this guide.

I came to Kersik Tuo as a solo traveller and originally wanted to try to get on a 2d1n trip with a group. When I arrived I asked around and it seemed very quiet, so this didn't seem likely. Having read various reviews on trip advisor I decided to contact Een. Een was very approachable and actually came and met me where I was having dinner to discuss the hike and my needs. Budget was a big thing to me and Een lowered and already reasonable price without me asking him to. The climb itself was tough but enjoyable, and Een really looked after me in terms of advice, food and drink. I summited twice, one on the first afternoon and once at sunrise. Een even helped me arrange forward transport from Kersik Tuo which I was struggling to organise myself, and came and met me when the bus arrived in the evening to make sure I got on safely and the driver understood what I needed! I'd highly recommend the climb, and using Een as a good local guide. His number is +6285266266992

We climbed Kerinci volcano and travel + hike totally worth it. First the hike in the jungle is really nice especially if your enjoy wildlife, we saw many birds, squirrels and monkeys. Second the view from the top of the volcano with the sunrise is just breathtaking. Make sure you bring warm clothes or a jacket against the wind. We hiked with Een Endatatno who is probably the person who climbed the most this volcano. He has been a guide for 20 years and has climbed the Kerinci over a thousand times! Everything was perfectly organised for a really reasonable price. He has a very good English and it’s really nice to do the hike with him. If you want to contact him go to his website gokerinci.com where you’ll find his contact details.
