Senaru - Packing list Rinjani and the day before hiking Rinjani
Senaru is the base camp for all the hikers who want to conquer mount Rinjani.
At the local warungs you will get basics like crackers, drinking water, toilet paper and other stuff you might need for the hike :-D
Packing list for trekking mount Rinjani 3Day/2night hike.
You should bring only what you need. A small backpack 30-40l is recommended. Pack as light as possible. The porters will carry most of the food, water and trekking equipments. However, try to stay around 5Kg for your backpack.
