A
Malaysian tourist was injured after slipping while trekking on Mount Rinjani in Lombok, East Nusa Tenggara, just days after a Brazilian climber died in a similar accident, raising fresh concerns over safety on Indonesia’s second-highest volcano.
According to East Lombok Police spokesperson First Insp. Nicolas Oesman, 47-year-old Nazli began his ascent of the 3,726-meter mountain on Thursday, joining a group of 12 hikers via the trail in Sajang village, Sembalun district.
After reaching the summit of Mt. Rinjani, the group began their descent toward Segara Anak Lake. It was during this leg that Nazli reportedly slipped.
"He slipped while attempting to make way for several porters passing along the narrow trail," Nicolas said on Saturday, as quoted by Antaranews, referring to locals who help carry supplies for climbers.
Following the incident, Nazli was carried down the mountain by fellow hikers, porters and members of the local Rinjani rescue team.
He was rushed to the Sembalun Community Health Center (Puskesmas) on Saturday morning for medical treatment. He sustained bruising to his right leg, hip pain and minor scrapes to his head.
In a social media post on Saturday, the Mount Rinjani National Park Management Agency (BTNGR) stated that Nazli was in a stable condition and physically fit to resume normal daily activities.
