At Rinjani Basecamp, your safety on the mountain is our ultimate priority. Climbing a 3,726-meter active volcano requires proper preparation.
To successfully register for your e-Rinjani permit, valid insurance coverage is legally required. The national park provides two levels of protection:
Standard Protection (IDR 10,000): This basic coverage is automatically included in your national park entrance ticket. It strictly covers standard medical expenses and limited ground rescue. It does not cover helicopter evacuations.
Premium Protection (IDR 290,000 / ~ $18 USD): This upgraded tier was introduced to handle critical, high-altitude emergencies where ground rescue is impossible. Crucially, it provides the necessary funding for emergency helicopter rescues.
What is Included in the Premium Upgrade?
| Benefit Category | Maximum Coverage Limit |
| Helicopter Evacuation | Up to IDR 260,000,000 (with hoist) |
| Ground Evacuation | IDR 10,000,000 to IDR 15,000,000 (depending on location) |
| Accidental Medical Treatment | Up to IDR 20,000,000 |
| Accidental Death Compensation | IDR 300,000,000 |
| Total Permanent Disability | IDR 50,000,000 |
| Repatriation of Remains | Up to IDR 10,000,000 |
Note: Helicopter evacuation is exclusively reserved for verified medical emergencies assessed by a doctor (e.g., severe bone fractures, head injuries, extreme hypothermia, or loss of consciousness).
Your obligation to purchase the IDR 290,000 Premium tier depends on your existing personal travel insurance:
You DO NOT need it if: You possess comprehensive personal travel insurance that explicitly covers both high-altitude trekking (up to 4,000m) and helicopter medical evacuation. You are eligible for the included Tier 1 Basic Insurance.
You MUST purchase it if: Your standard holiday insurance excludes activities above 2,500 meters or lacks high-altitude/helicopter rescue coverage. TNGR mandates the Premium upgrade to prevent you from being exposed on the mountain.
Our team manages all your e-Rinjani registration and insurance documentation to guarantee a smooth dispatch in case of an emergency. Before arriving, simply send us:
If your policy meets TNGR’s standards, we will register you under the Basic Tier, which is included in your package. If it lacks air evacuation coverage, Rinjani Basecamp will happily facilitate the purchase of the TNGR Premium Insurance on your behalf for the mandatory IDR 290,000 surcharge, ensuring you step onto the mountain fully protected.
