📅 Best Time to Trek Mount Rinjani

Rinjani National Park is open from April to December, and closed during the rainy season (usually January–March).

The best months to go are:

• April–June: Lush green landscape, fewer tourists

• July–August: Peak season, best weather, but more crowded

• September–October: Still dry, fewer hikers, golden grassland views

Avoid trekking during the rainy season as trails can be slippery and dangerous, and the park may be closed for safety.
