The Ministry of Tourism\nemphasises that having adequate knowledge and physical preparation is\ncrucial, especially when intending to climb an active volcano. The first\nand foremost step before starting a climb is to monitor the volcanic\nactivity status of the intended mountain. Tourists are strongly advised\nto check the latest information through the Magma Indonesia application\nmanaged by the Centre for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation\n(PVMBG). If the mountain\u2019s status is declared unsafe, the Ministry of\nTourism firmly urges tourists to cancel their climbing plans. However,\nif conditions are deemed permissible, ensure you always comply with the\nestablished safe zone and danger zone boundaries. To ensure safety, the\nMinistry of Tourism provided specific instructions: \u2018Be sure to contact\na certified local guide who has been equipped with the ability to know\nexactly which points are safe and when to abort a climb,\u2019 the ministry\nstated. In addition to professional assistance, climbers are also\nrequired to prepare physically and carry sufficient supplies. Do not\nforget to wear appropriate equipment, such as a specialised mountain bag\nand boots. Given the risks of a volcano, carrying a respirator mask is\nhighly recommended to anticipate exposure to volcanic ash or toxic\ngases. Compliance with regulations from the PVMBG and climbing area\nmanagers is absolute. Tourists are asked to always be cooperative with\nthe directions of field officers and not to force themselves to reach\nthe summit if environmental conditions are not supportive. Regarding the\nethics and mindset of a wise climber, the ministry conveyed: \u2018Being a\ngreat climber does not mean being willing to die, but knowing when to\nstop for the safety of yourself and others,\u2019 the ministry said. Finally,\nthe Ministry of Tourism reminded all climbers to always preserve nature\nand respect the climbing areas they visit.<\/p>",
