The main water source on the Ijen Mountain hiking trail via Paltuding is the water from the Gunung Ranti spring. This spring has a fairly large discharge, around 11 liters per second, and is located at an altitude of 2,400 meters above sea level. The water from this spring is channeled and utilized for the needs in Paltuding (hiking post) and the surrounding area of Ijen Crater, including the Ijen Crater Nature Park. (04-07-2025)

Hikers are also required to know and comply with the risk zone limits along the hiking trail, in the form of green flags (safe) covering the Paltuding-Pondok Bunder route; yellow flags (caution), namely the Pondok Bunder-Blok Kelek (Cemara 1) route, and red flags (high risk/danger), the Blok Kelek-Ijen Peak route (https://www.tempo.co/hiburan/kuota-kunjungan-ke-twa-kawah-ijen-dibatasi-2-000-orang-saat-libur-nataru-1184919).
