Nice tread here, congrats.

I am an ardent hiker too, being a mountain biker and also trekking but this was done mostly in Langkawi. I have hike up Gunung Raya and also Gunung MatCincang there but Gunung Raya is more like walking up the 4000 plus steps. Fast forwarded, I have moved to KL and before that I have stayed in Cameron Highlands and have hiked up Gunung Jasar numerous times as the starting trail is just behind the apartments where I was staying. Other than that I have hiked Gunung Beremban and also trekked numerous trails in CH. Back in KL, due to the lack of company and also major lack of activities, my fitness deteriorated and gained 15 kgs.

I have joined some trekkers to Gunung Nuang and found out I was allowed to join because they were all females, 4 of them. Two of them were totally new and also me an aging slow hiker. I did tell the guide earlier on and wanted a slow hike. We started off in the morning and after trekking 'the never ending road' we reached the first campsite at 2.00 pm. The guide choose a site just at the busiest part of the trail, just at the beginning of the trail up Nuang. We pitched the tents and she prepared Maggi mee using solid fuel. I never liked Maggi in the first place and ate a little but replenished myself with some 'Snickers' I brought. We were supposed to start at 4.00 am but somewhere during the night, another group of hiker met up with the guide and it was decided that we all hike together. I wanted to start a small fire but was stopped by the guide, she says the smoke will stain her tent with smell What kind of camping is this, if I cannot start a fire.

I woke up at 3.00 am. Drank some hot drink and waited, waited and waited. The other group finally came at 5.30am. So at last we started! I was ill prepared for this mountain and so is the other two female newbies. The guide darted up the mountain with the first group which I found out later, was preparing themself for their Gunung Kinabalu expedition. The guide left us behind and I was the slowest of the group, hoggling at the rear. I met another group from the Hulu Langat uniformed group and most of them too were ill prepared. So, I trekked with them, joking together, sharing smokes too. I got a call later and was informed that if I did not make it by 2.00 pm, I was to stop ascending and start descending as they are nearing the peak.

I didn't really cared as I wanted to reach the peak. I met another female from my group and she was giving up and was resting. I finally reached the peak at almost 2.30 pm. Snapped a few pixs and took a breather. The guide who was there earlier was pestering us to descend. Just as we wanted to start, the one who gave up emerged, saying another hiker urged her to carry on. We forced ourself to take another 30 minutes break, which I sorely needed anyway. We trekked down and as usual the guide dissappeared and leaving us in the care of her daughter. It started raining and the trek down was torturous. We finally made back to camp at 6.00 pm and the guide has made Maggi noodle an hour ago and urged us to finish it and we have to trek out. All the camps were packed ready! I told the guide to hang on as we just finished a 12 hour trek and needed a rest. No, we have to be quick.

I then told her as I am slowest I start off first. I got a bit lost and met with the group I made friends with and trekked out with them. At the start of the 'never ending road' I asked someone there if they spotted 4 females. They told me they have passed. So, I quicken my pace but it is not that easy after trekking the whole day and night. I finally made to the ranger station at 9.00 pm but their car is still there. The other group offered me a ride in their bus but I think I should wait for them. They finally showed up at 1.00 am with the two girls complaining, almost in tears.

I just want to make my point here that, organising is one thing, responsibility is another. It is always better to segregate the hikers according to their ability. Main reason for hiking is health and FUN! not particularly in that order. If one group push another group, it becomes a torture for the slower group. Unless off course the advanced group is advised beforehand that there will be slow hikers. Most of those interested in this tread seems to be newbies and I do hope that you take that into consideration. I would advise another night camping after the hike up Nuang to rest. If this is done, the trek up Nuang will not be too tight as you can hike up at a more relaxed pace. It is not a competition anyway. If this can be done, please count me in if there's any trip to Nuang. I am a cook so I am willing to cook for the group.

Oh yeah, I lost three toenails too and the rest are blacken and it is still growing.

haha i lost FIVE toenails man. Due to hiking in wet shoe for more than 3 hours under rain hahahaha.

first few times sure very slow and tiring. Good thing nuang got 7 rest areas before u climb further up to campsite.

I tried on friday nite, 11pm hike, reach Lolo 4am ++. coz we enjoy too much of the night weather, dark humid condition hahaha. we even light candle in pondok and enjoy until lazy to walk up lolz

but glad u enjoyed Nuang!

h4e bile nak buat small2 easy tracking?
i suggest ulu bendul
easy track yet not that easy haha

Terdapat Gunung Angsi setinggi lebih kurang 825 meter dari aras laut dan ia boleh didaki dengan menyusuri Sungai Batang Terachi. Landskap semulajadi di sini menjadikannya unik untuk mandi-manda dan sesuai bagi aktiviti lasak, berkelah, berkhemah dan bersiar-siar.

how's the trail and the camping site like? heard of gunung angsi. might wanna try hehe

as for nuang, i arrived entrance around 5:40am, but not dare to start hiking as the entrance state must report to police station nearby & register with the forest office before & after hiking, so i not sure. the day also very dark, cant see the path, & still recovering from the shock given by the few mad dog chased my bike earlier

so finally day break, & i started 7 am, met 2 guys who came here 2 to 5 times each.
we have just enough breaks in the middle, and we arrived peak around 12:40pm,
then soon after that, got another group of uncle & auntie (around 45 to 50 YO ) catch up with us on the peak, they told me they are first timer , & they started 8am
i was like wtf teeeepu la they carried 1 500ml mineral water bottle only, maybe that helps them move fast, while i maybe having a backpack around 5 to 8 kg

we rest, enjoy till 1pm & start return trip.
after 45 minutes, we returned to pancak pengasih, saw 2 younger guys, maybe 23 YO, they did not bring watches asking me for time & how long to the peak
hey ask me if i got handphone, so that can call their fren, but no use, there are no signal
and they ask me to pass their 6 frens behind that they are waiting there
then i continue going down, after 15 minutes, met the rest of youngster, passed them the message
those 6 poor guys ask me to go to pancak pengasih again to call back the 2 guys, as these 6 guys cant move anymore
i was like and thinking, if give me RM1k i also wont consider la, i damn tire redi
furthermore, i did adivised the 2 guy before, but they dun want return to their fren, so i cant help much also if i return
so i ask them settle themself, & advice them to return quickly before 2pm, same advice i gave to the earlier 2 guys
good luck to them, mang, they are all first timer. dunno now they return home safely already or not

then we make it back to the entrance around 5:35pm
but those uncle & aunties already arrived earlier & enjoying ice-cream redi

the lesson is, dun go together with ego person / those non-team player

hepi, your link 404

wah2....hikers group....wanna join....
been hiking for 4times....gunung dato' once and gunung ledang 3times via asahan route....
now to busy with my class.....maybe end of this year will go ledang again.....

No need police report la. if you go day time, pay RM1 only.

If go at night, FREE

If going for this, usually go in groups. unless u have headlamps, don stay too long and yeah 2pm need to go back down before dark. But if you got light, trekking in the dark can be quite eerily fun! hehehe. been hiking at night for 3 times at Nuang i think.

Website down, maybe later pop up again. .gov.my mar.

guys. I was a camper/hiker.... i got few tents and I used to go camping... But ever since I broke and fractured my leg.... I didnt go anymore....

but can still walk slowly on trails like nuang?

wah, unker happy like camping worh
