Gunung Datuk

Gunung Datuk @ Rembau, Negeri Sembilan - 20-Jun-2015

Hello hello, im here to update again for my weekend.

hahha. This round I went to hike with a group of people from mytravelkaki. Anyone of you if wanna go hiking in KK or Gunung Mulu or any hike or diving can go to www.mytravelkaki.com for more information.

The leader of the Group is Wai Kong. He arrange this hike together with us in Seremban, Gunung Datuk.

We meet at Linggi-Pedas Toll, right after the toll on your left got public toilet, this is the only toilet that I saw with clean and no smelly also with toilet tissue. So, u guys can go toilet before you start your journey to Gunung Datuk although when u reach there, also got toilet, but according to the members, the toilet in Gunung Datuk is dark. Sooo... hahaha, better go before.

Gunung Datuk, for me, it's really worth to go and reach the peak of the mountain because you will feel the real nature and enjoy the super nice view of the whole Negeri Sembilan.

Once you reach the entrance, you will see this,

The big Keris and the little story of Gunung Datuk.

GUNUNG DATUK, REMBAU

Total distance for the hike is 2070m.




The route plan.

That's Gunung Datuk. 

Please do save the phone number for any emergency.

That's the starting point.

Before u start the hike, u need to pay entrance fee at the pondok there.

For Gunung Datuk, you need to pay RM5 for entrance fee and also write down your name. When you hike down and going back remember to go sign out from their list.

I think it's worth for paying the Rm5, as they really do their maintenance.

In Gunung Datuk, you guys can go in a Group or a pair, as they did the maintenance, so every where u can see the sign board. Remember, if you are the first time to Gunung Datuk, follow all the way the red sign on the rocks or trees which wont lead to the wrong side.

If without the red sign, it's really misleading as there are a lot routes and way out there so remember just follow the red sign. Please bring phone together and make sure there is full battery life in case anything happen please call the emergency contact.

starting Point, Already got the red sign.

On and off the sign board is along the way and the red sign.

The first stretch is most difficult as mostly also rock there. So be careful.

There is tar road also. Red sign is every where.

Red sign is everywhere, so spot it out.

After 30 mins hike, you will reach the First resting point, after this there is no more rocks. It will be easy hike after that :) 

Chit chat and eat for energy.

There is big tree every where here.

That's the way after the First resting point.

See it's normal route. It's not hard.

Can you guys guess what is it? omg. Really amazing la this.

Walk walk walk, opss reach the top ady..!!! hahaha

If you wanna go peak, please turn to left. haha

 

Tada, it's 885 meter!!!!

Not very high but really trust me, when u see the view, it's worth.



That's the ladder to climb up for the peak.

 When we reach the peak, It's really amazing, too bad it's a chilling day and cloudy day. Super chilling up there. If the sky is blue sky, it will be perfect.

Another thing I wanna tell u guys is we saw 2 hornbills flying there and 2 eagles staying there. That's really lucky of us and it's really the beauty of the nature.


Although the weather is cloudy, but the view is still nice.

They said this is HANG TUAH leg shape. hahaha



The lubang.

Can see whole Negeri Sembilan

WOW.!!!!

That's us!

It's nice view!!

Feel the Nature.

We do saw hornbill and eagle!!

Total hours for the hike is:
1. Hike up we used 2 hours, if u fast pace u might need lesser time. We are normal as we checked the board, 2hours to peak is normal. haha

2. Hike down we use 1 hour. It's quite smooth all the way.

Although it's not a difficult hike, however, please follow the red sign as u might get lost easily as there are a lot routes which misleading you.

Cheers,

The beauty of me? or the nature? ahahahah!

Bukit Kembara Hike

Bukit Kembara a.k.a Bukit Indah @ 13-June-2015

Hi Guys, how's your weekend spend? My weekend was cool and fun.

For Saturday, I went to hiking in Bukit Kembara. This actually the 3rd times I went to Bukit Kembara. First time was during  Jan 2015 which was my First hiking started, second time was during March / April 2015 (forgot ady), den now 3rd times!!! hahaha

We have around 11 peoples for this round hike. It's was actually one of my friend, he wanna explore this Bukit Kembara, so I terpaksa entertain him la. hahahaha. If he reading this post, im dead, hahahaha.

Anyway, Bukit Kembara actually also known as Bukit Indah.

Thus, you guys just need to type "TAMAN MINI BOTANI" or "JALAN BUKIT INDAH UTAMA, AMPANG"in waze and you will get directly to the park near Bukit Kembara.

Meet at the park at 730am.

Actually i was told my friend to meet at the Caltex at taman Kosas. haha. End up i reached the park there and when he called me, I paiseh to ask him to come to park meet me. hahaha. Still they came :)

This round hike i got two guests from HUNGARY!! hahaha. They probably now already on plane on the way back to their country. I really do enjoy with you guys.

Ok, back to topic. When we reached the park, I actually asked all of them park at the park there becasue from my previous experience, the parking nearby the hike is full of monkeys and the parking there always full. However, you guys can try your luck to park over there, because this round when we go, no monkeys ady. Dunno where they go. haha

Bukit Kembara is actually an easy hike becasue the road the trek is well maintained. Summore, this time i found out that they added in new tali and also new trek. Make it even easier than last time.

No Doubt, we used 15 mins to reach the peak. hahaha.

We took this at the peak of Bukit Kembara. 

Although we used 15 mins to reach the peak, but that's not consider full hike, we need to hike down to the other part of the mountain.

We go down the way, till we reach the lakeside.

At the lakeside.

Some people does came all the way here just for fishing, but according to my friend, he said no fish inside. So, i dunno. hahaha.

From the lakeside here, we need to trek further down, before we go down, you can actually see the KLCC and KL tower from the lakeside. Provided it is not a cloudy day!!

Going down down down down~~

When you reach the down part of the mountain, it's actually a residential area with bangalow and one big Golf Club. One of my house is there. hahahahaha.

Around the Golf Club Park is a 3km way which if you guys want, you guys can run along the way.

However, we just walked, hahaha. We spent a little bit time in a small park for having our breakfast. Forgot to take picture when the handsome guys helped us to prepare the breakfast. ahahaha.

Monkeys

Fly Away~~~

After that we going back through the way that we came just now. Phew~~

There is also some nice view here, but cannot compare with Bukit Tabur. hahaha

We do spent 4 hours for this hike, because we spent mostly 45mins for breakfast over there.

However, if you read others blog, it stated that it need 4 hours, but i think 2.5 - 3 hours is more than enough if you didnt spend time for breakfast.

After our hike, we went to Ampang Yong Tao Foo, it's just 1.8km away. hahaha.

That's a little bit about the Bukit Kembara hike during the weekend. Hope you guys enjoy.

Anything comment to me :)

Cheers,

Bukit Tabur East

Bukit Tabur East (ROCK CLIMBING) @ 6-June-2015

 

Hello !!

How's your weekend? izzit as full as mine? haha.

This weekend I went to hiking on both day. Saturday 6-June-2015 went Tabur East which located at Taman Melawati, Kuala Lumpur.

This round hike, we got 7 peoples, got 2 new friends and summore one of them is Trail Runner. Don't Play Play! hahahaha.

I was the 1st time to Bukit Tabur East. Before that, I did google it as per the blogger mention DO NOT GO BUKIT TABUR IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE ROUTE. It's really dangerous. If you want to try out the hike in Bukit Tabur East or West, Please find friends and it's better to have somebody went before also familiar with the ways.

On Saturday, We met early in the morning around 7am. We met at the Mamak Restaurant called : Deen Mamak to have our breakfast before we start out hike.

We started our hike around 730am or 740am. Before we start, we already been told by Yong that this is action hike. haha. After we went through, YEAH, its really action hike. But it's fun hike, along the way, you can see the nice view, it's really enjoyable.

After First climb, the First view.

That's how we Climb up.



That's the view from Tabur East to Tabur West. Dragon Bone.

That's the lake view, it's nice.

First Checkpoint!!! Finally

The trek way here is narrow, so pls be careful.

Don't jump here and there.

Another checkpoint view.

That's the peak we goin!!!!

This is one of the rock climbing we need to pass through. It's nice but dangerous. Everything safety come first.



That's how we pass through the rocks, macam monkey la we all. SAFETY COME FIRST.

After you pass through the rocks, you will see this.
 

After you reach the second checkpoint, the last checkpoint is the PEAK!! hooray.

So near yet so far! hahaha. but it's just 15 mins away.

 After 15mins, tada!! We came to the last checkpoint.

It.s really steep. It could be 80 Degree, so please be extremely careful.



Before climb up, two of my friend scare!! They wanted to give up at that time. Omg!!! Because it's really steep and scary when you see that. But, after 10 mins persuading, they finally agree to go up and of course they made it!!!! Hooray.!!

This is one of the view when you reach the peak there.

The view at the peak is really nice and it's so so enjoy to feel the environment there.

That's the KL city.

Away from city life, that's the nature feel that we lack of now. We should go for the nature often so that you guys know what I mean and feel what I feel.



All of us successfully made it. We rocks :)

Before we go down, Let us take a picha!!

Sexay right :)

It's easy to hike down, all the down only, it's just that slippery so need to use the sticks or the plant/trees around you. Be careful when you hike down. Enjoy the view.

I like the view.

The trek is just like this when you hike down:)

When you going down, please be careful of your head, because there is ..... DURIAN trees. hahaha.

We got one durian!! haha. Its because of the monkey throw down. But it's too raw ady. Cant eat :(

That's all about the Tabur East, overall its really nice and along the way also got nice view. If you love adventure, This is it la.

Full Hike only 4km plus only. But all the way Rock Climbing.

It's really all the way up also rock climbing, it's really fun and train your stamina.

Conclusion

What I get for this hike is If your mind is not strong enough, you will give up at any point of time. That's always the way how we face problem face difficulties in reality.

Conclusion is we shouldn't easily give up as always remember, NEVER TRY NEVER KNOW.

Stay tuned for next post :)

Cheers.
