If the ground got water underneath when I am setting up my tent, I will look for another option.

I guess you are unaware that Sg Congkak got two mountains - Gunung Chenuang and Batu Hampar if I am not mistaken. ROFL. Gunung Nuang is far away from Congkak by at least 30 minutes.

Time for those who are into hiking, need to do some homework on how to explore new mountains instead of sticking to the same path

DAMMMNNNNNN!!
How do we get there!?
We follow the trail from the broken bridge until the hut and we couldn't find any other way to proceed further.

I have done some nepal treking and KK treking. So far so good.

I also worry about AMS but it is GOD Power anyway.

did realize until the water came in but it is ok lah cuz just a bit only, just sipped in, not really like flooding. no big deal. i just take some towel to dry it.

moreover that time heavy rain, too much hassle to find a new spot + move the tent + all belonging + make sure family stay dry

To be honest, I couldn't remember the trail completely.

As I know the route starts from near a building mark with either block C or E. Behind the block which is on your left there is a tar road. Trek the road for about 5 -10 minutes and there is a junction on your right that marks the trail.

As Chenuang is less hike by people, advisable to engage a guide. Warning - lots of leech due to wet terrain and possible encountering wild cat/ leopard.

Look for Mr. Wai Kong. Tell him Alvin introduce.

I have yet to engage his service for Nepal before but he is a professional guide for Kinabalu. Meet him else where when I am trekking in some mountains. Friendly guy.

I did a bit of Google & found the way.
Yes on the leech, we experience it yesterday. Have to stop to check every 5 minutes. And I missed out one well hidden in my pant only discover it when I got home.

I think you get the route from here?

That TS was one of my hiking friend

I forgotten where I lead him to last time, too many trips. All good old memories

Leeches that bite at the upper body are more likely tiger leeches. Woot!

Hamsap leech

Im doing to Gasing today after work, but just for a short walk

wao 17-day hike! Must be amazing
You been there bro?

Nope, as I am still concentrating in Malaysia mountains. Still got so many I have yet to conquer.

However ABC or EBC should not be a difficult task for those who are used to hiking. The only thing that matters will be AMS symptoms fearing that your body could not cope with the high altitude of the hike as their average height are 3000m.

I see, well can stay at Bolivia for training first

my god, bukit gasing also can get lost,, go in from jalan changkat, came out from lembah pantai.. ended up took a taxi ride back

You must be not hiking there for a long long time. LOL.
