JAKARTA - The Gunung Rinjani National Park (TNGR) Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province, closed all natural tourist destinations climbing Mount Rinjani from January 1 to April 2, 2025.

"All climbing routes to the Mount Rinjani area will be closed from January to April 2025," said Head of the TNGR Yarman Center quoting Antara.

He said the transition to the rainy season often brings potential hydrometeorological disasters such as heavy rains, strong winds, to the threat of floods and landslides at the peak of the 2025 rainy season.

Therefore, his party routinely closes every beginning of the year which is a form of love for nature, giving Mount Rinjani time to recover and protect mountain lovers from unexpected risks.

"On every trip to beauty, there is a time when we give space for nature to breathe. For the sake of ecosystem recovery and mutual safety," he said.

His party invites all people or nature lovers to prepare new steps to welcome Mount Rinjani which is more sustainable.

Enjoy this time to plan a more mature upcoming trip, while visiting non-climbing natural tourist destinations that are still open at Mount Rinjani National Park.

"Until that time, let Mount Rinjani re-knit the harmony of nature," said Yarman.

The climbing routes that were closed included the Senaru hiking trail in North Lombok Regency and the Torean hiking trail in North Lombok Regency. Then the Sembalun hiking trail in East Lombok Regency and the Timbanuh hiking trail in East Lombok Regency.

In addition, the Tetebatu climbing route in East Lombok Regency and the Aik Berik hiking trail in Central Lombok Regency.

"The last climb was carried out at the end of December 2024," he said.
