Me & my friend tried there once but because of didn't conduct our research well, we lost the path toward the mountain and ended up elsewhere From the blog I found http://thequantumsingularity.blogspot.com/...aten-track.html it seem bit challenging.

And the way in along Sungai Congkak is full of leeches.

happy hikings too

so its like gunung nuang brother issit?
the pics from the blog seems like calling
pfttt i really shouldnt hv clicked, now feel like going hiking dy

It's situated around that area with Nuang, probably that's how it get the name? I have no idea, have to refer to the local there though. The other spoken to the ticket booth guy and according to him, that land belong to the native.

Leeches?? Are there any super/ultimate/best/ultra ways to prevent leeches?

Leech sock & repellent? I have not try either one of those, so don't know how effective they are. During that day I have had leech climbed up until my thigh level as I was wearing short that day.
But overall, they are not all that scary, just that bit of itchy.

if its not under the renjer area then ok lar i guess can just go in lidat, if bump into the asli can chit chat w them also..
nuang is somehow quite too many ppl going there these days isnt it, so slippery lolo-pacat route there..

this one got beirut on top w nice view summore,
i suppose need parang all the way too?

for me i wear long, double socks, long tights, as to minimize possible penetration by the leeches. works fine so far.
not to say 100% though because sometimes i got them at camp site where we no longer wear as many clothes like during trekking

I've been very lucky to not encounter any leeches before in my previous hikes So what to do when get leech bite? Leave them on? I heard it's painful to pull them off..

I suppose you are right about the parang, most likely is because that trail is less popular.
We just hop in randomly that day, without even heard of Chenuang before that. And we ask around is there a bukit or gunung for us to hike and according to the local there, there is one however somehow I can't find the way up & ended up at a farm with a native hut at the end of Congkak stretch.

That is the first time we actually encounter leeches too, throughout many of our journey.
It's not all that painful when we peel them off, actually it doesn't feel painful at all
Just that the wound feel itchy.

okay, i will put on all these protection

Alright then, hope it's no pain at all

theres one leech effing painful though.
the tiger leech. green color and with stripes summore on its body.
very itchy too

is it common at Chenuang? I heard that it is common at Mount KK..

lucky me, I didn't kena. but my other friends kena, they were wearing shorts too

yeah i heard quadcube said that too.
in here, only certain deep jungle got, rarely found in in places w many ppl n not that high i guess..
but dunno lar these things, got appear just where we least expect it,

oi, sungai running stream no leech lar, i mandi where got wear long pants one, no kena also.
dun sked me wey

those tiny tiny leech only la. the guys used lighter to "melt" the leeches away.

haha the tinier the sked-er wor..

but need to be careful those wet and damp area with many falling leaves, highly likely many leeches.. so if want to sit, clear the area, or simply sit on rocks/boulders

I lagi sked kencing tikus
nowadays I dont even dare to go sungai.

Eh you also been to Congkak ar? I know many been there to picnic la but we went to hike nia.

Btw, you know who am I ar? This is KepalaOtakHang
