Rinjani volcano Indonesia: 2 days of hard trek to get to the summit!

Every step near the crater is like trying to climb a sand dune, it was cold, we were hungry and exhausted.

last part of the climb, the hardest

This appeared and all that hard work and cold etc had vanished in a split second after the clouds cleared up to show this

And i felt like

But in reality i was

Panoramic view from the top

the volcano dropping straight into the jungle

All quite happy

respect to the guides who climb the whole thing just wearing flip-flops, and carying heavy weight balanced on their shoulders

we treated ourselves once back to earth
