Why Eco-Trekking Matters: Our Commitment on Rinjani | HIJANI “Hiking to Rinjani”

“Why Eco-Trekking Matters: Our Commitment to Rinjani”

Mount Rinjani is more than just a stunning destination—it’s a living ecosystem, a sacred mountain to the Sasak people,
and a place that challenges and transforms those who dare to climb it.
But as popularity grows, so does the pressure. That’s why eco-hiking is no longer an option—it’s a responsibility.
At Hijani (hiking to Rinjani), we believe in leaving things better than we found them.

What is eco-trekking?
Eco-trekking is about minimizing our impact on nature and local communities. That means:

• Removing all trash
• Avoiding single-use plastics
• Respecting wildlife
• Using sustainable gear
• Supporting local guides and porters

The simple idea is that enjoying nature shouldn’t be about destroying it.

Rinjani: The Mountain Under Pressure, Every year, thousands of climbers visit Rinjani to enjoy its incredible views and spiritual energy. But:

• The trails are littered with plastic
• The campsites are littered with trash
• Fragile mountain plants are trampled
• Local communities are denied the benefits of tourism
• Without care, the beauty we seek to see can be lost.

💚 Our Commitments at Hijani (hiking To Rinjani), We don’t just talk about ecology—we live it. Here’s what we do on every climb:

• Zero Waste: All climbers will pack out their trash, not bury or burn it, and we’ll provide reusable water bottles and food containers.
• Local Love: We employ and pay local guides and porters fairly and buy supplies from village markets to boost the local economy.
• Ethical Practices: No overcharging porters. No damaging shortcuts. No parties or loudspeakers allowed on the mountain.
• Primary Education: We brief every climber on how to respect the mountain, its culture, and its environment.

Why It Matters—for You and the Planet When you climb sustainably:

• You protect the future of Rinjani
• You make a meaningful impact on local communities
• You become part of a global movement of conscious explorers
• Eco-friendly climbing isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing better—for nature, for people, for the adventure itself.
