Bandung, IndonesiaSentinel.com — Mount Rinjani National Park (TNGR) has implemented strict regulations requiring permit and fees for tourists who wish to use drone within the park. The new rules are designed to control and manage the use of small unmanned aerial vehicles or drones for documentation purposes, according to Teguh Rianto, Head of Administration at TNGR, during a statement on September 18 in Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara.

TNGR issued an official announcement outlining the procedures for drone usage within the national park, shared via their official Instagram account On September 17, 2024,. This move comes in response to the growing interest among visitors in using drones to capture footage of the park’s stunning landscapes.

Under Indonesian law, any drone usage for photography or videography within national parks must go through a formal permit process, and users are subject to non-tax state revenue (PNBP) fees.

These fees apply to all forms of media capture, including video, handheld cameras, and photography, whether on land, in water, or from the air. The regulations also cover commercial purposes for both films and photographs, as stipulated in Government Regulation (PP) Number 12 of 2014, which governs the types and rates of PNBP fees.

Rianto explained that although the central government had established these regulations earlier, TNGR only recently began enforcing them. The park’s management emphasizes that not all visitors carrying drones will be charged the PNBP fee, depends on the intended use of the drone.

“All visitors must have a permit to bring drones into the park, as Mount Rinjani is a conservation area,” Teguh said, stressing that the rule applies to all areas within the national park, particularly the tourist spots. “Drone use is only permitted in designated tourism zones. Outside of these areas, which are not for public use, drones are only allowed for research purposes.”

Mount Rinjani, known for its breathtaking views and volcanic landscapes, is a conservation area first and foremost. As a result, any tourism activities must adhere to strict conservation principles. “The national park follows conservation guidelines, not just tourism rules,” Rianto added, highlighting that certain areas within the park are not open to tourists or recreational drone use.

Drone Permit and Fees Within Mount Rinjani National Park

Budi Soesmardi, a Forest Ecosystem Controller at Mount Rinjani National Park, noted that the PNBP fees depend on the specific drone activity. “Drone activities are categorized into two: photography and videography,” Budi explained.

Under the government regulation, the fees for commercial drone footage at Mount Rinjani are as follows:

  • Video footage is charged at IDR 10 million per package.
  • Handycam footage incurs a fee of IDR 1 million per package.
  • Photography is priced at IDR 250,000 per package.

According to the official announcement, visitors must complete all necessary documentation, including a drone operating certificate, to obtain a permit. Those looking to apply for a drone permit can do so either at the park’s resort or section offices or directly at the main TNGR office in Mataram.

The new regulations reflect Indonesia’s broader efforts to balance tourism with conservation, ensuring that the natural beauty of areas like Mount Rinjani is preserved for future generations.
