When planning an expedition to an active volcano that reaches 3,726 meters above sea level, your safety, security, and peace of mind must come first. Trekking Mount Rinjani requires strict adherence to local regulations, environmental protections, and safety protocols set by the Indonesian government.
Ali Trekking Rinjani is a fully registered, legal, and licensed Trekking Organizer (TO) operating under the strict guidelines of the Mount Rinjani National Park Authority (TNGR).

Why Booking With a Licensed Operator Matters
The trekking industry around Mount Rinjani includes many unauthorized or “freelance” operators who run treks without official oversight. Booking with a licensed company like Ali Trekking Rinjani protects you in several critical ways:
1. Guaranteed Park Entry and e-Rinjani Permits
The National Park uses a strict quota system through the e-Rinjani application. Only licensed Trekking Organizers have the official access required to secure these highly regulated tickets. Unlicensed operators often rely on illegal entry routes, which can result in you being turned away at the trailhead or fined by park rangers.
2. Certified and Trained Guides
Our lead guides are certified by the Indonesian Mountain Guides Association (APGI – Asosiasi Pemandu Gunung Indonesia). This means they have undergone rigorous training in wilderness first aid, high-altitude rescue, navigation, and group management. Unlicensed operators are not bound to these safety standards.
3. Emergency Evacuation Protocols
Because we are registered with the National Park, your trek is actively monitored by park authorities. In the event of an emergency, our official status allows us to instantly coordinate with TNGR search and rescue teams, medical facilities, and helicopter evacuation services (utilizing your trekking insurance).
4. Environmental Accountability
As a licensed operator, we are held to strict “Leave No Trace” policies by TNGR. We are accountable for bringing all trash down from the mountain. Unlicensed operators often lack this oversight, contributing to environmental degradation.
