When discussing the optimal time and season for climbing Mount Rinjani, it is important to consider various factors.This article aims to provide guidance on the best time and season for camping and trekking on Mount Rinjani.

Typically, climbing Mount Rinjani is organized and available from April to mid-December. This period is the most suitable for climbing the mountain. However, it is not possible to climb Rinjani in January, February, or March due to evaluations, cleaning, and accessibility improvements carried out by the organizers and organizations of Mount Rinjani during these months. During the previously mentioned months, Mount Rinjani is officially closed and climbing is strictly prohibited.

While some organizations may allow climbing during the prohibited months, we strongly advise against it. This is because January through March is still the rainy season in Indonesia, particularly in Lombok. Climbing during this time may not be optimal and could prove to be challenging. During the rainy season, climbing Mount Rinjani can be challenging due to the slippery and dangerous conditions caused by the humidity and rain.
