About the Trek...
You will encounter steep ascents and descents on a fairly good system of

contact us if you would like some suggestions in relation to pre trip
training or if you are concerned about your fitness level.
All meals will be prepared by your guide and porters on open fires and
fuel stoves. Your porters will exhibit super human strength in getting all
your camping gear up the mountain and is a constant source of amazement to
trekkers! Expect traditional Indonesian style rice based meals. The meals
are excellent relative to what you might expect on a typical western style
commercial trek. The staff take great pride in their cooking skills and
presentation of your meal. Any offers to help are welcome but not
expected.
All your camping gear is supplied but if you want to take your own light
weight sleeping bag or sleeping mat that's fine. This can be arranged at
your pre trip briefing in Senggigi Beach. Most trekkers will carry a small
pack or day pack with personal items such as clothes, toiletries and
photography gear. Keep the gear to a minimum and don’t take anything up
the mountain that you don’t have to!
You will most likely experience hot, sunny days on your trek. Common sense
rules in relation to sun care are applicable to ensure you have a good
time on route. Keeping your skin covered up and staying hydrated will stop
most problems before they begin.
