The Mount Rinjani National Park Office in West Nusa Tenggara confirmed the policy on Tuesday, following a directive from the Forestry Ministry.
The reopening follows Circular Letter No. SE.4/KSDAE/SKSDAE/KSA.02.02/08/2026 on temporarily closing and limiting mountain-climbing tourism to prevent forest fires.
The limited reopening covers climbing, rituals, religious activities, cultural events, social activities and research, the park office said.
Security measures will be tightened, including more patrols, stricter access controls and inspections of items that could potentially cause fires.
The park office said improper use of fire remains prohibited, while preparations for forest and land-fire management have been strengthened with relevant stakeholders.
Online bookings through the eRinjani application will be temporarily suspended from Sept. 1 until authorities determine that fire risks have fallen to safe levels.
Bookings made and paid for before Sept. 1 will remain valid, subject to applicable regulations, the park office said.
Future reopening decisions will depend on fire-risk levels, dry-season conditions and the development of forest and land fires within the national park.
The park office said Rinjani remains accessible under the limited policy, while safety and environmental sustainability remain the main priorities.
Authorities urged visitors to help protect the mountain by avoiding careless fires and ensuring they leave no materials behind that could ignite.
