JAKARTA: Mount Rinjani National Park is currently installing stairs at three spots along the dangerous Pelawangan Sembalun track toward Segara Anak Lake. The track is considered dangerous for climbers because of its steep slope. The volcano is located on Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).

The track is considered dangerous not only because of its steep slope, but because climbers are usually already fatigued after reaching the Rinjani summit before descending to the lake. Three foreign climbers have fallen between June and July.
