Rinjani's park fee went up in November 2025, and several top-ranking trek pages still print the old rate. Foreign trekkers now pay Rp 250,000 per person per day on Senaru, Sembalun and Torean, and Rp 200,000 on Timbanuh, Tetebatu and Aik Berik. You book through the eRinjani mobile app, usually via a licensed operator. In 2026 every trail closed from 1 January to 31 March, and trekking was limited again from 1 September for fire season.

Which trails are open

A forest fire broke out on 22 September 2026 near Bukit Setampol, on the Torean side. By 26 September it had burned 977.74 ha, and both northern trails were shut. Senaru reopened on 3 October. Torean was not on that day’s list of operating trails, and we found no later report of it reopening.

Each trail sits in a price class. Senaru, Sembalun and Torean are Class 1. Timbanuh, Tetebatu and Aik Berik are Class 2. Class 3 covers 21 non-trekking sites in the park.

Tip. For a foreign trekker, a southern trail costs Rp 50,000 per day less than Senaru or Sembalun. Its quota is also smaller, so it can be quieter.

The new fees

Porter, per dayNot regulatedNot regulated; usually Rp 175,000–250,000
The new rates apply from 3 Nov 2025.Checked · Source: Kompas TV, new Rinjani tariffs (Nov 2025)

Before the change, foreign trekkers paid a separate Rp 200,000 insurance charge. The November 2025 tariff report does not list an insurance amount. An English translation of the operators’ SOP, published by an operator, says premium insurance is compulsory from 2026. We could not confirm the amount from the park. The cost page lists it with the other extras.

How booking works

  • App. Bookings go through the eRinjani mobile app (Android and iOS).
  • Who books. Usually your trekking operator, who adds the guide and porters.
  • erinjani.id. A private business selling packages, not the park.
  • Fire season. From 1 September 2026 new online bookings were suspended until the fire risk passed. Tickets paid before that date stayed valid.

The park shuts every trail for the core of the wet season. In 2026 that ran from 1 January to 31 March. During that closure, non-trekking spots around Sembalun stayed open, including Savana Propok, Bukit Gedong and Top Kondo. The 2026–27 dates had not been announced by 21 October 2026. The 2026 closure was announced on 20–22 December 2025, so watch for news from mid-December.

Park office

The Gunung Rinjani National Park office is on Jl. Dr. Soedjono, Jempong Baru, Mataram, open 07:30–16:00 according to its website. For current status, the park’s Instagram account (@gunungrinjani_nationalpark) was more up to date than the website in October 2026.
