Reporting from Kompas, Head of Mount Rinjani National Park (TNGR), Sudiyono stated that this tourist hiking trail will open in the beginning of April 2019. But a survey needs to be done first.

After a survey conducted on March 16-18, 2019 by the TNGR team, the climbing path of Mount Rinjani which is dominated by savanna fields still seems difficult to pass.

Even more so when the survey was conducted, there had been an earthquake measuring 5.8 and 5.2 on the Ritcher Scale. This disaster caused the land located 120 meters before Plawangan Sembalung to collapse.
