The ascent of Mount Rinjani in Nusa Tenggara Barat will reopen on Saturday, June 28, 2025. This announcement was made by the Rinjani National Park Authority (BB TNGR) through an official post on their Instagram account. "OFFICIAL INFORMATION ON THE REOPENING OF THE RINJANI PEAK TREKKING TRAIL] Starting Saturday, June 28, 2025, the trekking route from Pelawangan 4 (Sembalun) to the summit of Mount Rinjani is declared REOPENED, following the completion of search and rescue operations in Cemara Nunggal," stated BB TNGR in their caption. The management of Rinjani National Park has also issued a reminder for trekkers. Trekkers are advised to prioritize safety during their climbing activities, adhere to the applicable standard operating procedures (SOP) for trekking, and conduct their activities via official trails. Previously, the trekking activities from Pelawangan 4 on the Sembalun trekking route to the summit of Mount Rinjani were temporarily closed starting today, Tuesday (June 24, 2025), until an unspecified date. The closure of the trail leading to the summit was implemented due to the ongoing evacuation process of Juliana Marins (26), who fell into a ravine near the crater of Mount Rinjani and is presumed to have already passed away following her fall on Saturday (21/6/2025). "The trail to the summit is closed because the evacuation of the victim from Brazil is currently underway," stated Yudi, the spokesperson for the Rinjani National Park Authority, to Kompas.com via WhatsApp on Tuesday (24/6/2025). The Joint Search and Rescue Team subsequently succeeded in locating the victim using thermal drone visualization provided by the Mataram Search and Rescue Agency. Juliana was found at a depth of approximately 400 meters from the point of her fall. At the time, she was reported to have fallen into a deep ravine in the area near the crater lake of Mount Rinjani while climbing with one guide and five other participants. The joint SAR team later discovered the victim's position at a depth of around 400 meters. However, it was noted that the evacuation was challenging due to the extreme terrain and adverse weather conditions.
