Lost in the Jungle

The plan was to start from Ulu Kinta and head to the start of the trail before making our way to Camp Seroja and then on to Camp Kijang. From there we would have gone on to the waterfall & LWP (Last Water Point) before reaching Mount Botak (1817 m) which lay just before the summit of Mount Korbu (2183 m) and Mount Gayong (2173m) - which were both members of the exclusive G7 group of mountains.

A lot of people seem to mistake Mount Ulu Semangkok for Mount Semangkok which is a completely different mountain with a summit that lies at a much higher elevation and a trail that makes for a much tougher trek.

Before we go on, please jot down the Read more

Pine Tree Hill

The early gathering of the Kuala Lumpur Hiking & Trail Running group at the Fraser's Hill clock tower at 07:15 was very welcome after the long ride in the early hours of the morning. I found the night before to be completely devoid of sleep and as seems to always be the case, weariness began to creep in just as we were setting out. Before we go on, please jot down the numbers that are listed below. If you do see Read more

Kubang Gajah Waterfall

The trek to the Kubang Gajah Waterfall ("Elephant Waterhole"), that is also known as 'Sungai Ampang Waterfall', 'Kemensah Waterfall', as well as 'Sofea Jane Waterfall', was preceded by a trek up to Tabur West that had been organized for several couchsurfers. I won't go into the details of the Tabur trek as Tabur (West) has already been covered in one of my earlier posts. The Movescount details for this trek can be found Read more
