If you are keen to tag along with others, I can introduce you to some. I know there is a group heading to Korbu-Gayong end of December.

Since it is end of the year, hardly people choose to camp due to raining season.

I know Yellow and Swettenham already gone case. Even Yong Belar via Blue Valley also tapau habis.

Jasar Perdah? Easy peasy.

You could try Berembun too.

Jasar from Camelia Garden go straight till the end then keep left then head straight until you see a T junction where there is a fork route on your right. Keep straight and you will reach the electric cable and Jasar peak is behind the forest.

From Jasar you can attempt Perdah, which most of the trek heading downhill. From Jasar peak there are two routes, one on your left and the other on your right. Head right as the left head back to Bharat plantation. About 1 hour to reach the peak. You can opt for a shortcut from Sg Riul whereby you only need 5-10 minutes to reach Perdah peak.

Jasar? Two years ago I guess. Or maybe last year. Did it too many times last few years.

Remain one of the best place to capture butterflies.

Berembun still intact. Still got wild animals roaming free near Mardi.

LOL bro. You only choose to hike those difficult mountains. Why not learn how to recce a trail?

ROFL! One advice - take good care of your leg.

You miss out Kelantan.

If you do not mind cold and mud, feel free to proceed although with the recent notice from the state government whereby no camping is allowed.

Pahang-Perak got more such as Suku, Yellow, Chabang, Riul etc.

Pahang-Kelantan towards Blue Valley/ Pos Lojing such as Siku, Swettenham, Yong Yap, Tangga etc

Ulu Bendul for the difficult track.

Bukit Putus for a shorter track.

Just a minor difference only.

Long time never active here. LOL!

If you can scale Rinjani via Sembalu or Senaru then it should not be an issue for you to scale Merapi. Way easier if you are comparing apple to apple.

If you are referring to Nuang, the never ending route I understand they already cement it till the first pondok

Still well maintain the area. The confusion part now lies at two area - Kem Lolo as usual and the other is near Puncak Pengasih when there is another track head towards Three Borders.

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

I got few easy trip coming up. Tag along if you do not mind.

Upcoming will be Tabur Extreme and Setia Alam Hill.

Next week Saturday as I will be away outstation this week.

These days day pack. Last time frequent camp and bashing finding new trail.

Depends where you daypack. Most of my daypack are done within 2-4 hours.

If you are to do Kutu or Nuang then you might be targetting longer duration due to their distance.

Where was your last hike?

No worries. Some of the people I lead are beginners. As long you have the determination to complete it that will do.

Where you are based my friend?

You can do the Bukit Wawasan nearby your place.

Rate that hike.

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