‘My parents said, “you can’t do that, it’s too hard for a girl”,’ Wati recalls. ‘They told me climbing the mountain was only for men, as women stayed at home, gave birth and looked after the family.’

This only fuelled Wati’s determination, and slowly her parents came round to the idea. Soon, she was hiking to the top of the mountain, much to the shock and dismay of the Sasak people of Senaru.

‘The community was asking my parents why they let me go up there, and why they let me rebel. Why was I allowed to be a “naughty woman”?’ Wati recalls. But she continued to climb the mountain and learn about its beautiful natural landscape, and in 1995 she set up Lombok’s first all-female trekking business, Rinjani Women Adventure (RWA) – and as a result, has single-handedly revolutionised the lives of women and girls in Senaru.
