Stop 26 - Lombok, Mt. Rinjani 🏔️

3 days trekking Mount Rinjani 🏔️ 🥾 big thank you to our guide wahyu - got us through till the end !
7 hours first day of only incline 😅 up to base camp at 2,600 meters ⛺️ ☁️
2 am wake up for a very difficult 3 hour 45 degree incline climb to the summit at 3,726 meters 🌅
(Realised very quickly the British countryside isn’t quite the same experience as summiting a volcanic crater 😁- the fun began to wear off very quickly 😂)
Proceeded down to the lake and second camp after a 15 hour day of extremely steep decline - very sore and another day ahead of us to get to the bottom.
We’re still unsure how we managed to complete the trek after multiple falls onto arses, burning and peeling backs, fluid filled blisters, wet clothes and attempting it at the end of a three month backpacking bender but we did it 😄😄
Incredible experience but never again 😃
Stayed a night in a bungalow to recover which turned out to be on a farm with 200 turkeys (not pictured) 🦃 🌴Read more
