i WAS college student, can i join?

I am planning to go Melawati East on 21st June (Saturday). Plan to start the climb at 7:15am.

Any1 want to join let me know.

Tks for the compliment SoulPower. Actually all 4 of us who went there last Saturday are all fit as all manage to complete the route successfully. I guess I’m fit enuv to climb bkt melawati, but not sure about other higher mountains. I haven’t climb any mountain other than bkt melawati, so many of u out there shud be much more experience and fitter than me.

Next time would like to try Nuang, Ledang, may be even mount KK. but has to slowly gain experience 1st from climbing small mountain.

Bkt Melawati is the only mountain around town which i know how to go there. Would appreciate if any1 can show me direction to other mountain or let me know if there is any hiking trip

I think not necessarily to make it an official club as this forum can be a club by itself. So it’s a good idea for any1 who organize any trip to post on this thread, and those who keen to join can communicate thru this forum

Myself only know how to get to Bkt Melawati, so can only climb that hill until got other ‘kaki’ to show me the way to other mountain. Melawati Hill is nice to climb, been there few times but still dun find it boring. As it is near KL, I can go there on most of the weekends.

yupe, i think the dog climb the west hill every day. everytime i went melawati west sure bump into the dog.
One thing for sure, it is well feed by hikers (sandwiches, biscuits, bun, fruits ...)

Glad to see some response, no problem with more ppl to join, the more the merrier. I think a group of 10 – 12 persons is fine.

Estimated time to complete the route (up and down) is 5 hours. If we start the climb at 7:15am, we will be downhill at about 1 pm.

Let me know whether r u familiar with the direction to go there? If yes we can meet at Taman Melawati, otherwise we will decide on a meeting point elsewhere b4 we travel there

Hi there, i dunno how to plot on the map eh

i suggest we meet at the BHP petrol station at taman melawati. if u refer to the map it is located at Jalan Taman Melawati, it is on ur left handside once u turn into taman melawati from MRR2.

If it is ok with u i think we can meet there at 7am

The route at Melawati East is actually shorter than West. But it is more difficult so more rest/stop are expected. Also try to make back pack as light as possible. There will be less ppl trekking this route compare to West becoz less scenery here to see and the routes are more difficult. Another thing to take note is that East has much much much more ants compare to the West. So for those who resist ants, try to wear a trekking glove as u may need to grab on rock, ropes and branches which is full of ants

U r welcome to join,

But if u r not free on 21st June, dun worry, there shall be more trip coming up ... and hope can join u too if u r organizing trip to other mountain

yes, finally some body is going to Nuang

Count me in...want to go there for some time already but dunno how to get there...

Tks for the info . Want to join us for the trip to Nuang? It is good to have ppl who r experience to lead the way.

But can I know y before 2 pm must go back? Is it becoz of the heat? I heard from my friend who went there b4 said they start the climb at 9am and come out at 7pm, is it got few trek trails over there?

I think we can discuss more abt the trip to Nuang during our climb this Sunday, and will post more updates here from time to time.

Correction: shud be saturday

tks for the update.
any1 who is going but name is not in the list above, pls put ur name and contact number there, tks

Just be patient and let the mystery unfold by itself tomolo…

Glad to see a good turnout for the trip...so i think it does work to coordinate hiking trip through here. will post at forum again whenever there is any hiking trip in the future.

Also tks popcorn513 for uploading the photos

As for the trip to Nuang, tentatively is on 29th June (Sunday), subject to confirmation by Enjoylife as he will bring us there, will post at the forum soon for more updates...

Arrh... my pc want able to display the map properly. Anyway i had search for the direction to get there and found the following:

"From downtown Kuala Lumpur, travel south to Cheras. After Phoenix Plaza, heading to the direction of Kajang. After paying the toll, you will notice a signboard stated Air Terjun Sg. Gabai on your left hand side. Turn left, then drive along and you will reach a junction with traffic light. You will notice a police station on your right hand side. Turn left and follow the direction of Pekan Batu.18. Go staright and after 20-30 minutes, you will reach Pangsun which is very near the entrance. Ask someone there and they will show you the way to the entrance"

from: http://www.peakware.com/peaks.html?pk=2091
I suggest we meet somewhere at KL 1st b4 going to Nuang. Meeting point and time to be confirmed, also any1 can advise how much time it takes from KL town (let say KLCC) to Nuang?
About the trip, i will post at the thread "Climbers Club", pls check it out...

We plan to start the climb early, at 6am, to catch sunrise. So if u r joining us, we can meet at the West foothill at 6am.

Added on June 24, 2008, 8:18 pmHuh, i thought there is only 1 way up the west trail, unless u r referring to the trail downhill which can be used to go up also.
