As I can see the counter were closed -.-||| Oh yeah, by the way please aware of three things - ground wasps, water level (if rain) and not to forget "Maybank" (rare but some witness before at Bukit Putus route).

Lets put it 6.5 - 8 hours. Really depends on individual stamina.

Which day would that be ?

I would suggest you try out hills first before go into mountains. There are some easy one and there are some tough nut to crack mountains. Height does not determine the difficulty.

As for hill, go for Bukit Broga, Bukit Tabur - West (careful of safety), East, and Extreme, Bukit Saga, Bukit Panorama, Bukit Kledang, Bukit Serdang, Bukit Belacan, Bukit Ketumbar and etc.

As for easy mountain, try out Gunung Datuk, Gunung Angsi, Gunung Jasar, Gunung Perdah, Gunung Berembun (Cameron), Gunung Irau, Gunung Nuang etc

When into hiking, make sure you know the place familiar. Basic stuffs like sufficient water, food, and headlamp are necessarily. No swearing here and there and never ever treat the place a piece of cake. It can be difficult when climate change.

Good luck and enjoy the hike. Remember the payment of RM3 before entry

You are asking for trouble if you have not used to overnight hiking or I prefer to rephrase it as camping. Try something easier first like camping at Gunung Nuang's peak via Pangsoon, Gunung Datuk, Gunung Bunga Buah etc.

It is unlike Gunung Kinabalu where you have hotel facilities at the mid peak. Gunung Tahan minimum would required 4 nights of camping. You can hired a porter for a very very good price.

I still believe my experience at Kinabalu last March was quite bad. Hiking up with my 12kg bagpack (me and my fiance stuff) via Mesilau - it rain the whole journey. Have to reach Laban Rata by 3pm to hear the Ferrata briefing regardless it is raining or not.

Next day weather seems cloudy but it is a green light to go to the peak. Reach peak take a picture and rush to do the via Ferrata.

Half way doing the Low Peak Circuit got caught in the rain. Descend down to Laban Rata, have a lunch and descent back to base camp via Timpohon with rain rain and f*cking rain. How bad could the weather be?

At Kinabalu, it is more towards luck. Either you get a good weather or a shit weather like what I faced. Lucky for me, I completed both Kinabalu peak and the Low Peak Circuit.

Pingpang, Tabur East is easier than Tabur West. Reason, the ropes there are much safer if to compare.

Yes, although it is one hell of the climb up, if you navigate your path safely it should not be a problem at all. How many injuries cases you heard at Tabur West and I believe you do not heard much about people complaining about East.

A lot of people do not know the alternate route to Tabur East and that makes people assume it's tougher. The dangerous peak among all Tabur is Tabur Extreme XD.

Good luck on your climb to Kinabalu again. Make sure you do the Low Peak Circuit instead of Walk the Torq. You will get mesmerized.

Which Tabur first? West, East or Extreme? If West, count me out. Others I can still consider but have to let me know the date.

All Tabur have two routes to return. It is whether you where to return or not

I know most people will go for Karrimor's bagpack but I never know their shoes after all The best shoes for me still Kampung Adidas RM10 cheap and yet easy to wash.

Let me see how many want to camp first. More likely will be one of the mountain at Cameron Highland. 2 days 1 night.

Might as well you do Gunung Pass . RM5.60 is the cheapest I ever found at KKB.

No Suku? LOL!

Can 31st August and 1st September then. Haha XD Anyway, Gunung Pass was quite heavily overgrown on my last visit there.

Good luck on your hike. What do you want to know about Gunung Rajah?

Which Tabur? I just don't get it why people not able to label them as West, East and Extreme as Bukit Tabur alone can be misleading?

Are you sure you are able to hike Gunung Ledang at this moment? If not mistaken only the route from Asahan is open while the rest remain close due to landslide. Kindly get some clarification on that before you make your trip to Johore.

I think that shoe looks like a Vibram 5 right? I got a friend that have that and according to him, he prefer to use those shoes at soil terrain, not rocky terrain like Gunung Kinabalu.

Kindly take note what happened at Bukit Tabur. Appreciate if those who are trekking there to be more careful and cancel your hiking activities when the weather ain't good. Not just for the sake of the sunrise. Thank you.
