Mount Tok Nenek (Single)

Mount Tok Nenek (elevation: 1904m) is well-known for the spectacular 360-degree views that its jagged summit has to offer. The hike to the summit follows a fairly well-established route that heads north-westwards towards the peak. Once you reach the peak, you either turn around to follow the same route back down (called 'Tok Nenek Single'), or continue northwards on to the peaks of Bubu (elevation: 1974m) Read more

Tok Nenek, Bubu, Yong Yap (TNBYY) – Day 4

The camp woke up slowly and lazily as we were all aware that we had a lot of time to spare and that there was no rush.

The upcoming trek also gave me a lot to look forward to since the group was unable to make the peak the day before like was planned so were to instead head up to the summit of Mount Tok Nenek, then head down and back up to the summit of Mount Bubu all in the same day Read more

Tok Nenek, Bubu, Yong Yap (TNBYY) - Day 1

The original plan was to depart from KL Central at 20:00 but there were a few trekkers coming up from Johor to join as well and were only expected to arrive around 23:00. As such, and after meeting up with my brother, we made our way to Kajang instead as the departure was to be from the DATS store much later on. The convoy itself arrived at the Gua Musang Police Station around dawn the next day where Read more
