The restoration of the ecosystem and the transition period for the application of the latest entry rates are the reasons for closing the climb on this mountain. Extreme weather and high rainfall are also the closing factors.

Ascent activity on Mount Gede Pangrango, West Java, began to close on December 25, 2024 to March 31, 2025. The reason for the closure is the same as other mountains, namely extreme weather and ecosystem improvements.

Mount Rinjani has a total of six hiking trails and all of them are officially temporarily closed. The closure starts from January 1, 2025 to April 2, 2025. The closure was carried out because there is potential for disasters, such as heavy rains, strong winds, floods, and landslides.
