Every fee on this mountain · 2026 · in writing
Every fixed fee the national park charges is on this page, at the official rate. The only number we quote in conversation is the trek itself, because it depends on your route and group size.
These are the fees that do not change with your group size or which guide leads your trek. They are set by the national park, not by us, and every honest operator pays exactly the same. We list them so that when a quote arrives, from us or anyone else, you can check it against the real numbers.
The official park ticket. Per person, per day: a 3-day trek is 3 × 250,000. Set by Permenhut No. 17/2025. (Senaru, Sembalun & Torean are all Class-1 routes.) We include this in your trek price and pay it for you, so there is nothing to settle at the gate.
Auto-included in every permit. Covers basic accident / ground evacuation. You don't buy this separately. It's already in the ticket.
One-time, valid up to 4 days. Adds helicopter evacuation + higher medical cover. Required unless you already hold personal travel insurance covering trekking to 3,726 m and helicopter evacuation. We help you sort this at booking.
Our deposit (not a park fee). Secures your permit once your date is confirmed open. Goes toward your trek total.
Same idea. It secures the permit for the longer routes. Goes toward your total.
Depends on route + group size. Pak Wil sends an itemised all-in quote before you transfer anything.
Park figures are the official 2026 rate (Permenhut 17/2025). If a quote you receive, from anyone, doesn't match these, ask why before you pay.
When we quote you a trek price, this is what is inside it. Every line. There is no “extra” sprung on you at the gate.
A cheap operator hides these until you're at the trailhead. We'd rather you know now.
Trekking insurance with helicopter evacuation. The park requires it before your permit is booked, and you choose how to cover it: either your own travel policy (it must cover trekking to 3,726 m and helicopter evacuation, and we'll need the insurer's name and your policy number), or the park's premium trekking insurance at IDR 290,000 per person. The park entrance fee itself is already in your trek price, so there's nothing to pay for it at the gate.
Personal travel/medical insurance for your trip, separate from the park insurance. If it already covers trekking to 3,726 m and helicopter evacuation it lets you skip the IDR 290,000 premium tier; we'll just need the insurer's name and your policy number at booking. Get one regardless.
Tips for guide and porters: optional and entirely at your discretion, with no set range and no pressure. If you'd like to give one, the natural moment is the final lunch at the end of the trek, straight to the guide and porter team. See porter ethics.
Anything personal: extra snacks, souvenirs, accommodation before/after the trek.
These are real, fixed facts about how the national park works in 2026, not sales tactics. They are the reason we confirm a firm date with you before you pay anything.
The park limits how many trekkers start each day, across all trailheads, to prevent overcrowding. In peak season (June to September) permits commonly book out two to three months ahead, so the earlier you lock a date, the more choice you have. This is the real reason to book early. It is not a sales tactic.
Once an entry permit is booked it cannot be refunded (except if the park itself closes the mountain). It can be rescheduled once, up to the day before your start date, and only if there's quota left on the new one. In practice, treat your booking as final. This is a national park rule, not ours. It's exactly why we confirm a firm date and check availability with you before you pay any deposit. Full explanation on /permit-non-refundable-explained.
The 2026 season runs 1 April to 31 December. The park closes 1 January to 31 March for wet-season trail repair. (Phrase reopening as “1 April”; seasons can shift slightly year to year.) The clearest summit conditions and best sunrises are usually June to October.
Permits are registered to each trekker's passport through the official eRinjani system, and the name on the permit is checked against your passport at the gate. We need the first page of each trekker's passport to register the permit, and you receive the booking confirmation, with your name on it, before you fly. (Foreign trekkers are required to book through a licensed operator; we handle the eRinjani booking for you.)

You will find cheaper quotes than ours. Here, honestly, is where that money comes from, so you can decide with your eyes open.
What the cheapest quotes leave out
What we put in that gap
The honest market range, for context only.
Across reputable operators, a 3-day / 2-night summit-and-lake trek commonly runs USD 265-325 per person (standard shared), with private/deluxe higher. A 2-day / 1-night summit is roughly USD 210-255, and a 4-day / 3-night lake-camp trek USD 335-405.
In euros, approximately: 3D2N EUR 230-285, 2D1N EUR 185-225, 4D3N EUR 295-355. Converted at 0.88 euro to the dollar (European Central Bank reference rate, 13 July 2026). Rates move, so treat this as an anchor for your budget, not a quote.
Compare like for like: the USD 150-165 “summit” teasers you'll see are often crater-rim or alternate-hill trips, not the real Sembalun summit. These are other operators' market ranges, shown for context. We don't quote a Wil Rinjani trek price here. Yours comes itemised, on WhatsApp.
