Government Regulation Number 36 of 2024 has just been ratified. This regulation regulates the Types and Tariffs of Types of Non-Tax State Revenues Applicable to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.

That is the type and rate of the latest Non-Tax State Revenue that applies within the Mount Rinjani National Park Area.

Mount Rinjani is one of the most popular hiking destination in Indonesia. This mountain has attracted hundreds of thousands of climbers from all over the world every year. Mount Rinjani is open from April 1 to December 31 each year.
July to September is the peak climbing season. Usually there will be many days where the climbing quota has run out. For your information, climbers to Mount Rinjani are limited to 360 people per day (240 people through Trek Organizer services and 120 general visitors) at 3 gates (Senaru, Sembalun and Torean). Climbing tickets can be purchased well in advance through the eRinjani application available on the Android AppStore.
When the climbing quota is full, there are some trek organizers who sell packages illegally and climb through unofficial gates. This certainly violates the regulations in force in the Mount Rinjani National Park Area which can result in criminal penalties and also the cancellation of all your travel insurance. How do you know that your climbing ticket is official or how do you ensure that you are officially registered as a climber?
1. Ask the trek organizer for your QRCode climbing ticket, make sure all your data matches.
2. Create an account on the eRinjani application using your Passport/KTP, then click the Booking tab and select the Paid tab. If your ticket appears, then your ticket is official.
3. Make sure you are directed to do a medical checkup, one of the check-in requirements is a health certificate. If this process is not done, it can be ascertained that your climb is illegal.
4. Make sure you are directed to check in at the entrance to the climb, then make sure your ticket status on the eRinjani application changes to Check in.
5. Make sure you check out after finishing the climb to avoid being banned. Check your ticket status, make sure it has changed to Check out
These are the steps that can be taken to avoid becoming an illegal climber. Avoid violations that can lead to criminal charges and the cancellation of your insurance protection. Happy Climbing
