Sembalun Crater Rim Base Camp @ Mount Rinjani Even though Mount Rinjani is shorter than Mount Kinabalu, there is a reason why the nickname for Mount Rinjani is Mount Regret. The starting point for the Rinjani climb is at the Sembalun Village at 1,150m. It takes about 8 hours to reach the Sembalun Crater Rim Base Camp at 2639m. During the 8 hours, you will encounter the dreaded “Seven Hills of Regret� before reaching the Sembalun Crater Rim Base Camp. Many climbers regret making the decision to climb Mount Rinjani when they encounter the Seven Hills. But once you conquer the Seven Hills of Regret, you will be rewarded with a fantastic view at the Crater Rim Base Camp.
