- Clothing. Temperatures at the rim can drop to 0–5°C at night. Pack a warm windproof jacket, thermal layers (HeatTech), gloves, and a beanie.

On the Trail Tips
- Pace Yourself. "Slow and steady" is the best approach. Take short breaks every 30–45 minutes and drink water frequently to prevent altitude-related headaches.
- Hydration and Energy. Bring your personal high-energy snacks ( Nuts, chocolate, or energy bars for quick boosts )
- Leave No Trace. Mount Rinjani faces significant litter issues. Carry a small trash bag for your own waste and support operators who follow zero-waste practices
