1. Trekking Permits & Quota System (2026)
Due to Rinjani's exploding popularity, the government has enforced a centralized e-Ticketing system to cap the number of daily visitors, preventing extreme environmental degradation.
Ticket & Passport MandatoryTickets cannot be purchased on the spot at the gate. All permits must be pre-booked months in advance. Foreign trekkers are strictly required to show their original physical Passport during the medical registration check (Trekking Information Center).
Registered Guide MandatoryForeign trekkers are strictly prohibited from trekking without an Official Guide belonging to an actively licensed Trekking Organizer.
2. Strict Waste Management Policy (Pack In, Pack Out)
The National Park implements a 'Pack In, Pack Out' regulation. Whatever you bring up, MUST come down. Our Guides and Porters are fully responsible for the group's waste.
Potential Waste Goods Checklist CheckAt the entrance gate, rangers will count the number of plastic bottles, instant noodles, cigarette packs, and wet wipes. At the exit gate, rangers will cross-check the trash you bring down. If quantities do not match, hefty fines and a lifetime 'Blacklist' ban apply.
No Leaving Wet Wipes BehindWet wipes decompose very poorly naturally and must never be left behind, even when answering nature's call inside the natural toilet tents.
3. Environmental Protection Ethics
- Respect Sacred Areas (Crater & Lake)Lake Segara Anak and Mount Barujari are profoundly sacred to Balinese Hindus and the local Sasak people. It is strictly forbidden to throw garbage, use chemical soaps/shampoos in the lake, or fish without a permit.
- No CampfiresBuilding open campfires is strictly prohibited to prevent massive savannah wildfires, especially during the extreme dry season (August-November).
- Do Not Pluck Edelweiss FlowersThe Edelweiss (Anaphalis javanica) is a protected flora. Plucking or breaking its branches is a serious forestry crime.
