The volcano was closed to trekking in January and re-opened in April. The Mount Rinjani National Park Authority (BTNGR) closes the route every year during the monsoon season to protect the safety of climbers and to carry out maintenance on trails within the park.
More than 13,000 people officially climbed the magnificent 3726m volcano last year in a trek that is described as challenging, exhilarating and awe-inspiring… just another reason to visit Lombok soon!
