Every year, the Mount Rinjani National Park Authority (TNGRN) updates its official trekking guidelines to safeguard trekker safety and preserve the delicate volcanic ecosystem. Before booking your flight to Lombok, it is vital to understand the latest 2026 rules to ensure a smooth, legal, and hassle-free expedition.
1. Mandatory Official Trekking Permits (e-Rinjani)
Every hiker must hold an official quota-based permit registered via the National Park system. Unregistered or illegal hiking is strictly prohibited and subject to severe fines and immediate expulsion. Permits must strictly match your designated trail and entry date.
2. Trekking Medical Check & Insurance
All trekkers must undergo a health checkup at the trail Basecam before ascending. Additionally, medical cover and emergency evacuation insurance are mandatory requirements included in all official registration processes.
3. Strict National Park Prohibitions
- Littering Penalties: Strict Zero-Waste policy. All plastic waste brought up must be packed out and audited at the finish line.
- Wildlife & Flora Protection: Disturbing wild monkeys, feeding animals, or picking protected Edelweiss flowers is illegal.
