Review: Merrell All Out Blaze Ventilator Waterproof

When selecting a pair of new shoes, the so-called 'ground feel' and foot flexibility of a pair of shoes is extremely important to me as I come from a minimalist running background. Because of this, I shy away from heavy hiking boots, and only consider them when needing to carry a heavy backpack for multi-day hikes. Merrell's All Out range is known for their lightweight and flexible features. This, and the fact that I Read more

Topo: Batu Caves

The limestone formations that make up the Batu Caves (Tamil: பத்து மலை) complex are said to be hundreds of millions of years old. The complex itself is mainly known for the Hindu temples (the main one dedicated to Lord Murugan), and the heavily publicised annual Hindu pilgrimage that takes place during Thaipusam (Tamil: தைப்பூசம்). Batu Caves derives its name from Sungai Batu (Stone River), the river that runs Read more

Mount Tok Nenek (Single)

There are however, a few other rocky Read more

Lepoh Waterfall

Lepoh Waterfall is a relatively small waterfall, but the cascades and the rock formation that it runs over make it a fairly attractive one. The waterfall is located in the forest of Ulu Langat, and lies just three kilometres to the west-south-west of the summit of Nuang. Before we go on, please jot down the numbers that are listed below. If you do see any suspicious behaviour when out hiking, encounter things Read more

Jerangkang Waterfall

Jerangkang Waterfall makes up a gorgeous series of cascades and turquoise pools that, in my opinion, is far more worthwhile than its nearby sibling, Berkelah Waterfall. Although you will find huge crowds at the lower levels of both waterfalls, the upper levels of Jerangkang seem to be relatively devoid of people and as such, are far cleaner. Before we go on, please jot down the numbers that are listed below. If you Read more
