My trip to Lombok last week was awesome. the kids, teachers and my self were treated like kings and queens throughout the whole trip. Sun and Wayan are very efficient and professional. they had done a fantastic job to ensure the safety, accommodation and good food for us. Even though I'm back to Singapore, I'm still lingering at sweet memories back there. I want to thank them for training the porters so well for giving us delicious, clean and well decorated food! it's just beyond words! high up in the mountain and we have this 8 star hotel service! they cleaned every plates, forks, spoon, and cups before serving us with the food. they washed them with boiled water after we had consumed our food. I'm just fanastinated by the effort they had put in. I appreciate all their work to make us so comfortable even though we were in the mountain. i wanted to thank "Superman" too for leading the kids and myself all the way to the summit. I want to thank him for his patience and encouragement. without his help, we wouldn't have made it.
 

The local school that we visited welcomed us with drums and music. Villages chief, principal, teachers, adult and kids welcomed us with open arms. they were formally dressed and really made me feel like a Queen! I'm  lost for word. the food prepared by them were delicious too. The interaction with them was meaningful. The traditional dance they shared with us were an eye-opener for us. They even took the effort to prepare campfire and dance with us. this is my first time in my life that I felt so welcomed. please thank the school for us

Dear Pardi,

I'd like to write a few lines just to let you know that we are absolutely glad we joined your Rinjani Trek from 24-28 June. Everything was wonderful and we were most impressed with the logistics and the organization. Most of all, we were delighted with the treatment received by our guide and porters, who worked always really hard and made us feel like being in a five star hotel all the time, honouring us with all kind of attentions and warmth. The food was abundant and their cooking was delicious and amazingly well presented. Despite their extremely hard work they were always cheerful and had a kind smile for everybody. It was a real pleasure enjoying their company.

I think your organization fulfills all the standards and expectations, nevertheless, it would say much about it if the staff would be provided with appropriate equipment to bear the hardest conditions of their work, such as protection against the cold weather (warm cloths and sleeping bags) and made them feel prouder and happier with their work. They are the greatest hard working and honest people we met in Lombok and I think they deserve to improve their work conditions as much as possible.

Apart from that we had such an unforgettable experience and enjoyed so much the amazing nature that surrounded us during those days in Lombok. We'll carry a little portion of lovely Lombok forever in our hearts.

I'm sending some photos for Sakur, Har and Rianga. Could you please pass the photos to them as a memory of our trek together? Thank you again for everything.

Hi Pardi

We would like to thank your company for the wonderful trip. We had an especially good time up in the mountains though the hike was hard for the two of us. The guys (guide and porters) were really nice to us. Saiful's also good.

Once again thanks.
We would upload the beautiful photos on your website soon.

Dear Pardi and Saiful,

Pauline and I had a fantastic trip to Rinjani last week. Thanks for organising it for us. The arrangements were great, the porters and guide were very friendly and the food was delicious.

I am also glad that you treat the guides and porters well. We saw an English group of 3 clients that had only 1 porter. The poor porter must have carried a very heavy load.

We will certainly recommend your company to others. One of these days, I'm sure we will want to visit other mountains and islands in Indonesia. I hope you can arrange those trips for us then.

Below is an email that gives the link to some photos of the trip. Hope you enjoy them.

Thanks.

TOH Wee Khiang

Hi Pardi,

Our group were impressed by the commitment and level
of service shown by Lombok Network, and their extra
effort to maintain the cleanliness of the trail!

Our guide Ismail, and the porter Fandi, was just so
helpful and understanding to our group's needs. They
were the primary reason we were able to enjoy the
whole trek! ..........Thank you for making it such a memorable trip for us.

I would just like to say that this 3 day trip was excellent and a credit to your organisation. The logistics handling is excellent & our guide Aman was excellent. Aman was always helpful to my wife & very caring - an excellent leader! Parti, his capable porter, was also very thoughtful & helpful. Please pass our thanks on to them.

We both made the top for the sunrise & completed the trek in good spirits. Food was good & leadership first rate.

I will recommend your website to many others - well done!
We arrived back in Melbourne yesterday but would luv to still be in Lombok in the sunshine.

Regards..

Dear Wayan
Apa Khabar

Apologies for not emailing earlier. Have been very busy after coming back
Lombok has been an unforgettable place. Mt Rinjani is simply stupendous and magnificent.

Whilst the trek was not easy, the agency has done everything possible to
make it a comfortable experience. Our guide Made and two porters were
friendly and very helpful. we were well taken care of.

Will remember to send you the photos when i get things organized.
