Indonesia's Mount Rinjani in Lombok is regarded as a sacred mountain by locals, and is the second highest – at 3,746m – volcanic mountain in Indonesia.
I had the privilege to climb this mountain almost a decade ago, but my memory of it is still fresh. I was with a group of Malaysian hikers, though we only managed to meet at the airport in Lombok before going on a three-hour drive to Sembalun, the starting point of our trek.
