interested but can do it in june?

Sure why not?, we'll just try it out on the 16th..me and hackwire later we'll try to arrange something again.

I can join you on the 13th and take you to the lake. What time? Shall we meet at 7.00am at the Zoo entrance?

Oh that would be nice, hackwire?
Etigge we r not exactly at tip top condition, so last thing would be to slow you down...

I am not a fast hiker, don't worry.

Hi, Naughtybones. Is this the famous (and perhaps notorious) Bukit Tabur?

Yes I believe its called bukit taburfrom what i have read.

Great! We are planning to hike it some time but have difficulties in finding kakis. Is it okay for us to join you guys? And just so you know, we are rookies.

BTW, you guys been there before? Heard it's quite dangerous, especially for inexperienced hikers..

I don't think we are doing Tabur. we are just hiking the simple trail from Kemensah village to the dam. There are also views from the hills behind the quartz ridge. I don't think I want to clamber up the rock faces of Tabur.

Hi etigge,

Thanks for the info. If I'm not wrong, it will be something similar to this: http://www.meetup.com/KLhiking/events/53161532/ ?

Oh ok, my mistake. A simple trail hike would be good enough for a start. Pseudogene how many in your group? Btw i have never hike in klang gates b4 so any question ettigge would be a better person ask.

Will be going Bukit Tabur East Trail this saturday, may I know where's the entrance for the trail?

Any GPS or landmark would be appreciated, thanks.

There will be various jungle trails in Taman Kinabalu, from easier routes for beginners to more difficult trails for mediocre/hardcore trekkers.
As for the Mount Kinabalu trails, there is a trail from Mesilau-Summit Trail-back (down) Timpohon for the hardcore trekker. This trail covers both main trails to ascent the Summit trails to the summit of Mt Kinabalu.

Added on May 3, 2012, 5:28 pmKlang Gates Dam Trails - start from Zoo Negara/MRR2 to the lake and back. Fairly easy trek.

Bukit Tabur - divide into 2: Tabur East & West. One is so-so, the other is fairly difficult with some parts requires rope to climb up/down. Do start climb early in the morning, ie 6am, as in the late morning the heat on the rocks will be very hot for one to touch(you need to grope your way on certain stretch, and if you touch the ridge stone, you will "burn" your finger)
Note: For Tabur hike, advisable to report at Taman Melawati Police Station stating how many members in the team and once finish hiking to inform them everyone is accounted for.

Don't worry. There's a car park at the trail head where we have to pay RM2 per car. I think it should be safe.
