The hiker is believed to have suffered a broken hip and head injuries after falling about 200m, Berita Harian reported.

Gunung Rinjani National Park station chief Yarman said rescuers found that the hiker was still able to walk slowly despite being injured.

“Our team was mobilised to the location to provide emergency treatment. The victim’s identity will not be revealed for the time being,” he said.

Yarman advised hikers to be more careful and not to take the mountain’s challenges lightly.

“Rinjani’s topography is extremely challenging. Hikers must be careful not to exert themselves when tired, and must rest immediately or request for assistance if they face any trouble,” he said.

It was the second case of an incident involving a foreign hiker at the Indonesian volcano in the past eight days.

On June 21, Brazilian Juliana Marins, 27, died from a fall, sparking concerns about trail safety on the mountain, located on Lombok island.
