Best Time and Season to Climb Mount Rinjani

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.

Additionally, the cloudy and foggy weather can obstruct the panoramic views, making it difficult to capture moments.

Then what is the right time and season to climb Mount Rinjani?

From several evaluations and experiences that we have experienced, we will divide 3 appropriate times to climb Mount Rinjani, namely: April-June (BEST), July-September (BEST), October-December 01-20th (OK).

April - Juni (Bestest)

april-june

This is known as the opening month and is highly recommended for planning a climb to Mount Rinjani. During this time, the atmosphere and scenery of Mount Rinjani are very fresh and green after a long rainy season.

The grass and scenery are noticeably different compared to other months.During these months, the weather is ideal for extended hikes.

We recommend trying either a 4-day, 3-night or 3-day, 2-night option to fully enjoy the breathtaking natural scenery with your family, friends, or partner. It is a great decision to make and the best time to do so.

Juli - September (Best)

Climbing Mount Rinjani is a great alternative to the peak season of April-June. The months of July to September offer a suitable second choice. We still recommend climbing in August-November as the panorama and natural scenery of Mount Rinjani are still fresh and will bring peace to your heart.

The summer months are ideal for climbing and camping on Mount Rinjani. During the month of August, there is a unique experience to be had due to the increased number of local climbers from Indonesia. This is likely due to the celebration of Indonesia’s independence day on August 17th.

For the best climbing experience, we recommend the 3-day, 2-night hike between July and September.

Oktober - Desember (Ok)

oktober-desember

Climbing Mount Rinjani is still possible during the months of October through December, which are considered the final months of the year. However, it is important to note that there may be temperature adjustments and wind instability, particularly during the last two months of November and December.

Nonetheless, climbing Rinjani during this time is ideal for those who prefer cooler temperatures and wish to avoid the scorching sun. During this month, temperatures are typically lower due to the beginning of the rainy season in the Indonesian region.

It is still important to keep sunblock handy during hikes. We recommend shorter treks, such as 2 days and 1 night

Conclusion

These are some of the Best Time and Seasons to Climb Mount Rinjani. The specific season is not mentioned in detail due to Indonesia only having two seasons. Generally, the best time to climb Mount Rinjani is during the summer.
