Still on the Rinjani Slopes — Without the Crowds

Standing at 2,608 m on the northern outer slopes of Mount Rinjani National Park, Mount Stampol is one of Lombok's most rewarding hidden treks. The trail winds through coffee, clove, and vanilla plantations before entering untouched rainforest — arriving at a quiet crater rim campsite with unobstructed views of Rinjani's massive caldera. Go2Rinjani is your certified local guide for every step of the journey.
