That's why I ask for as a beginner.    If not I will slow down you guys and no more fun.

From puchong.

You can do the Bukit Wawasan nearby your place.

Air hitam forest. That is my 8yrs ago hiking. 

Rate that hike.

That would be moderate at that time. Take half day to explore. If now, maybe hard.

When you mention explore means I got no concern you are capable to finish it. Not easy to explore that area.

I never been there  inside before. So we 4 person member from lowyat explore inside. It was a bit tough actually. Due to we go in deep inside. Over the no go zone area.   And risk of get caught.

I love explore. Finish is not a problem. Just age and longtime, bone cracking problem.

I will update you on my hikes.

Still relatively easy for me. The problem with Ulu Bendul is that you need to find the starting point which is pretty similar to the one like Gunung Datuk - the keris.

It is not near to the car park as you will be walking pass stream convert to swimming pool.

A RM5 fee could be collected, sometimes no people to even collect.

From the trail head, follow those water pipes and you will need to cross two rivers. Not sure whether they already place path for you to bypass those rivers.

One thing you have to aware is the ground wasp along Ulu Bendul trail. If you saw trail that is close with red white tape then take note on the surrounding.

For most, they will opt the Bukit Putus route as both ways will meet at one point mid way. If Bukit Putus make sure take the right turn to the peak. You will know as you would not be silly to go downhill

River crossing..should I prepare for leeches?

How to prevent leech?

I heard leech socks are good but I haven't tried them before.. One of my friend during our last hike to Chenuang soaked her socks in salt water overnight and she was the only one who did not have any leeches crawl on to her at all, lol. Usually I don't really prevent, just bring a bottle of salt and 'shoot' at any seen leeches. 

Where can buy this leech socks? Is it breathable?

Just let the leech bite. Part of the process. Channel those old blood to them.

Those only prevent leaf leeches not tiger leeches. LOL.

Leech is always a scary creature for the beginner. 

Erm, is it? Which you afraid more - snake or leech?

snakeeeeeee  and centipede, and anything dangerous
