How about trekking at Bukit Nanas? I remembered reading about it somewhere.

hmm.... where is the location of it ?
got nice scene like broga or its jungle hiking?

why not just plain old camping?

nice suggestion, wanted to do this for sometime already.
last i did this is during my secondary school time.

except for taman negara any other place that we can camp ?
preferably tent is provided, although i got one but its enough for 2 person only

templers park, ulu yam, sungai congkak

for 2 ppl enough d ler... u n ur gf lor

lol no gf la
if got also wont bring her to the jungle without other ppl ler
dangerous, this is malaysia not japan

prefer to go in a group

Hmm i want to go Picnic but where can i go?

picnic can go tasik titiwangsa

go skydiving... Adrenalin rush

sky diving is too extreme for me
i am afraid of heights

try this:-


read about it here.

yea.. must be armed... scary ler these days.. 2 times my friend kena rompak... that time 2ndary school ler

fishing @ semenyih (require rod la of course)

The one i went to is you fish for 4 hours, catch the fish its yours, if you dont catch, then eat sendiri la.

RM 25 for fishing + RM 10 for deposit (can take back one)

great site.
thanks for sharing

thanks for the suggestion

You can go kolam air panas at Sungkai

thread starter wans nearby kl....

i saw other suggestions even in Pahang
so

nevermind la anywhere also can as long as its outdoor

How about Crystal Hill aka Klang Gate Dam. Great view, some rockclimbing too!

deep sea fishing, paragliding, water skiing, targets shooting much more ...

Good idea about target shooting. I've done target shooting as well although .22 pistol is not as much fun as 9mm and bullets aren't cheap. Unfortunately you'll need a club membership to go for larger caliber bullets or rifles/shotguns.

Selangor Shooting Club near the old Subang Airport for outdoor .22 pistol and City Square Shooting Gallery for indoor 9mm handguns. Both accept walk ins.

lol.. i juz went gunung datuk on sat
nice and challenging

u mean, u can just walk in and pay some money and play ?
no need membership fee or anything ?

how much need to pay ?

Oh. Yup Datuk was extremely challenging. That time we started climbing at 3+pm. Halfway up, due the rain clouds, it became really dark and we started to panic. No torchlight. If sky dark 100% GG spend the night on the mountain. We rushed so much it only took us 1hour 30 minutes to climb up... Felt like I was gonna get a heart attack though... the view was amazing though... Can see the sun setting on the Straits of Malacca... Complete review with some great shots below.

do we need gun license for that??

Wow...that's a lot of mountain. I wish I had the energy to climb these days (my excuse!)

http://www.my-rainforest-adventures.com/

haha. this is only the beginning. Temporary pause for mountain climbing cos finals 23/3/2009 to 7/4/2009. On the 8/4/2009 gonna fly to Sarawak. 9-11/4/2009 climb Pinnacles, 12-14/4/2009 climb Gunung Mulu. 15/4/2009 fly back KL. Sometime 20-27/4/2009 planning Gunung Korbu, Gayung and Yong Belar. 1/5/2009 will be Gunung Chamah. XD

Will be blogging them all up soon. Haha. Anyone wanna sponsor trekking gear for me to review on my mountain climbs? Hint hint... Garmin Oregon 300... HInt Hint... XD

@ Keong: I really like your page's navigation bar at the top. Amazing photos!! DSLR?

Hi Isaac...good to know that you are always on the go. Envy you mate. Enjoy it while you can.
Thanks for the compliments on the photos. Yeah, they are picstures I took with Canon 350D. Am learning onlylaaaa.

http://www.my-rainforest-adventures.com/

Well I gotta enjoy myself while I still can. The clock is ticking... In July/August I'll probably get my posting and then god knows if I'll be able to run around doing such things. Must live life to the fullest, especially since this is my last ever school holiday. It's the working life after this...

@ Keong : Very nice photos you have there. Another thing I'll try to pick up during my break will be some photography books. XD Though with only my Lumix LX3, results probably wont be as stunning as yours...

anyone know nice camping place to share here
any comment

ulu langat, templers park, ulu yam, sungai congkak, kuala kubu baru, camerons.... errr... that's all i can remember for now

FRIM, kepong

bukit cahaya

Basically if i wanna camp at bkt cahaya what should i bring and whom should i apply to? kindly those with exp provide details thanks

This is a tricky question. To be honest, it all depends on your comfort zone. Some people I have met can't go without their favorite pillow and will even go to extra length to bring that along. Some people I have seen can manage with just a tarp over their head.

If I may suggest:

A minimum kit (you MUST have with you at all times, even on a short day hike)
A lighter (waterproofed) with some strips of inner tyre rubber (tube) to help start a fire
A Fox40 whistle (used to attract attention)
A tarp or flysheet ( for shelter)
A knife (preferably NOT a foldable knife)
Some food bars (chocolate is fine)
Some strings or rope
Medications (if you require ay)
Basic first aid
Headtorch (make sure batteries are good)
A small billy (for boiling water)
A compass (you must know how to use one)

For an over nite
Choose either a tent (with a flysheet) or a hammock
Your MINIMUM kit above
A change of clothes for night sleep
Your hygiene kit (soap, toothbrush etc)
Extra batteries for your head torch
Your cooking kit and food
Extra garbage bags to keep clothes dry and also to take out rubbish


The above list I would say is your minimum. Other things you can add in.

Most importantly is that you need to know what you are doing. Having a first aid kit and not knowing how to use it is close to suicide.
Go with friends who have experience and never underestimate what the jungle is capable of.
Notify someone of your plans (where, when, who) for the trip so that they know where to look for you in case of emergencies.

nice guide keong

with ur permission, i will put this on the first post

Hi broken_string...no worries. Hopefully it will be useful.

http://www.my-rainforest-adventures.com/

hi. is there any nice place here in selangor where theres a lake for a fishing spot and a campsite to camp?

cheers..

Hi...there are but the more known ones like Subang Lake (fishing) are all fished out.
Titiwangsa is having problems with its water quality.
Batu Dam allows no fishing, let alone camping.

There are popular rivers as well but they are normally overcrowded with morons who leave the place filled with rubbish after their 'nature trip'.

I suggest you join some of the local groups to discover some of the hidden places .

Good luck!

Maybe can try semenyih. I remember got some private fishing pond which near to the dam got some camping ground. But need to pay.

subang lake i tried already. any others


the seminyih one is a man made pond right?

i want soemthing like a lake or river which can camp alogn there also..

u mean natural river with fish ? i think u can go fraser hill there if lake i think dont have ....sorry because me long time didnt go out camping fishing .......

my cousin always goes to Kenyir

oopss.....sorry...klang valley? batu dam can laa.....but must be.........

Not really. Some are natural or half natural. I did go one which manage by a malay family. This place for picnic, fishing but not sure can camp or not. Well manage and those pond water is from beside river. Another place is ulu yam dam and along the road. And dusun dam, ulu langat or beside river. Did camp there before, but don't think got fish.

Does anyone know of an adventure club in Malaysia where its members frequently go for kayaking, hiking, camping, etc..?

Thanks!

Also which countries/places are good adventure sites? I'm thinking of going to Southern New Zealand for that, I heard there's great scenery..Anyone been there done that?

Malaysian Nature Society : http://www.mns.my/

Normally, we organize ourselves among friends or colleagues,... or even forumers like mountain biking.
[ http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry28818282 ]

ermm... anyone here have experience in buying tents?
i wanted to get a tent for camping but i dun know which brand is better... any recommend?

are there any shops that specialise in selling these camping stuff?

I'm planning a leisure camp on a beach this December. Need some recommendations about whr to go.

It'll be a small group. Maybe 4-5 people only. A night or two, depending on the situation. In the daytime I was thinking to visit some local tourism spots (if any), then at night enjoy the seaside. Plan to do a BBQ also with own equipment if necessary.

Rather worried about safety... human and nature.
It'll be monsoon season, so the East Coast might not be safe.

Any beach which are safe to camp and are not too crowded? Preferably not on an island.

Morning06...tents are good overall shelters but probably not the best when you want to walk long hours and camp in the jungle.
I am NOT saying it is not good. But consider trying hammocks. They are more practical in our jungle. Tents more suitable for top of the mountains, beach (no trees) and established parks (Hutan Lipur etc).

Nichi...for as long as you go to beaches accessible easily to people, you are at risk of being robbed etc. The bigger your group, the safer you may be.
I would suggest you consider either two options. 1...go to beaches with plenty of people. Even places like PD because there are many people, help is easier to get.
Option 2...go to really remote beaches where no other humans are around. But do this only if you and your group are competent campers. You MUST know what you are doing and you MUST let the authorities know where you are.

Happy camping!

Anybody interested in nature adventure fun and exciting activities? Try Kem Semai Simoi in Pos Betau Pahang. Bamboo rafting, river drift, night walking, solo drop, trekking, obstacles, Orang Asli explorace, bamboo challenge, BBQ, river crossing etc. You can't finish all activities in 3 days 2 nights so you've got to choose. Get more info from www.outdoorsemaisimoi.blogspot.com

Not sure whether MNS update their website, but the interest group don't seems to be active since year 2006.

Is there any establish group that goes hiking/camping/nature adventure?

Hi, Jackie!
I am not so sure about any groups as you mentioned. Kem Semai Simoi usualy received groups from college, universities, schools, government and private companies doing training, team building etc.

Hi guys

i just wanted to ask you guys where is the best spot for a camping trip.Me and my friends just finished SPM(wooo) haha.So we decided to go camping.With No knowledge about camping whatsoever,we're stuck.xD.


Can anyone help us?We are searching for places near KL or as far as Pahang area.We thought of going somewhere that has alot of people around and theres river.WE WANT SUNGAI!haha.

Thinking of doing it ourselves,Bringing everything on our own and not depending on other groups and such.Can you guys recommend us any place?Such as Ulu yam?But never heard theres people camp there

please help us XD

There are many places to camp and to be honest, with the current season, rivers are not the best place for the time being. Flash floods have claimed a few lives and the dangers are real.

You mentioned you do not have camping knowledge/ experience. I strongly suggest that you consider finding a few experienced friends to go with. Start with something easy and safe and gradually make your way to trips that are more adventurous.

One of the best place I can suggest is for Chilling Waterfall. You are NOT allowed to camp at the waterfall but a good campground with good and clean facility has been build at the park entrance. The park rangers are there too. Go there and try your first camping there. During the day, you guys can go to the waterfall (but check for safety with the park rangers first). Chilling has in the past claim some lives!

aloha...
as the title, i am currently looking for a place to camp

Does anybody know any active group that always go camping or 1 day jungle trekking?
Thanks

this topic aint got many ppl comment

Hi...there are several groups on Facebook. Try waterfall survivors. They are crazy about waterfalls and do organize camping trips from time to time.
For jungle hikes, you can consider putting together your own group of friends. Just make sure that your do the necessary preps befor going out (equipment, knowledge etc).

Hope this helps.

Can someone tell me how to go to this Shooting Club , address or any contact no? How much their charge per person? need license to play?

gotta a question, where can i get camping ropes?

hey guyz.. im going to a college trip to ulu langat.. it will b handled by tentera malaysia.. so i was wondering where i could rent gadgets like rambo knife...outdoor bag like deuter bags... any hints guyz?

im planning 4 camping next month with my frens....bt stil,im kinda clueless, cz i dnno where 2 go..im tryin 2 look 4 a place 2 camp near a river or waterfall,plus can go 4 fishing there....


so,if any1 hav any sggestion,feel free 2 drop by....

expecting places in selangor....im ok with other states,s long as its worth it....

Hi ZintanthraX...there are many places to camp in Selangor. Some places however like Chilling waterfall at KKB requires advance permission from the fisheries dept. They have good facilities there.

Camping near waterfalls and rivers are great experiences. But they are also very dangerous because of flash floods. Unless it is a established campsite AND your group is experienced, I would recommend that you start camping somewhere far from a river.

As for fishing, I doubt if you will get much luck at rivers unless you are willing to hike many many hours in to camp. Your best bet is to find an area with fish ponds or the beach.

Hope you have a good & safe trip!

thx keong...

ive heard about chiling,but seems like hard to go there,cz d journey to d waterfall is a bit far...

last 2 years go camping at Ulu chepor (Perak). nice place but unfortunately
a ghost follow one of my friend on way back home(withourt notice it)....hehhe
that's place kinda scary but nice to camp...

O_o. how did he find out?

The journey sounds far but it doesn't at all. Just need to careful when you are river crossing as you will be crossing 5-6 times to reach to the main waterfall event. When the weather show sign of raining, do pack and head back to the base camp.

Looking for flysheet
the blue one with an orange underneath...
Anyone know where I can get these sturdy cheap flysheets from?
around PJ/ Sunway area preferably...

This post has been edited by Shin_: Jul 21 2010, 11:43 AM

I think can get from those Chinese hardware shops.

Hi Shin...
You can get them at most hard ware shops. Some shops even sells them in pre-stitched, eyelets sizes. Sizes range from 6fX3f to as big as 9fX6f.
The bigger they are, the heavier they are to carry though.
Lightweight tarps don come cheap though.

Learning Adventures

oh I been there before and omgdness.. the place isn't interesting. It's so plain dull and dirty.. lotsa rubbish everywhere... and almost everything about that place isn't good like totally gross.. especially the cleanliness is way below pile! .. so not recommended! =l ... Unlike camping at janda Baik.. there is way better in so many ways I can tell you all about it if you want .. and of cause, there're other better places around.

Anyone know where i can rent a tent in KL/ PJ? and the price too? I'm only gonna use it once so i don't really want to buy one.

I thought u found it already?

Anyone tried before Go-Kart or All terrain vehicle (ATV) at Sunway Extreme Park?

i am planning to go for a hike to a hill near my town. all of my friends are eager to go. let me lay down the circumstances.

1) there's no map for the place
2) though, many people have went there and got back safely. nobody died or got seriously injured before
3) there's 3 of us who have been there before.
4) one of us knows how to read the compass
5) the hill is very near the town center. (there's network coverage)

the thing is that, people around me are not encouraging me to go. they say that we will end up getting lost. but i am up for a little adventure. i really don't know as to whether or not i should lead them. anyone here from Bentong, Pahang? went up there recently?

PS - there was once when my dad got lost, he still manage to call back home to inform us.

As for my outdoor adventure, i've been to:-

1. hike up Gunung Angsi
2. went to Taman Negara

that's it.. hahaha.. planning to go more outdoor activities sooon...

where got nice camping site here at Selangor?

is for School Association Life Camp

must have self-cooking, pitching tent...

URGENT, THANKS...

please PM me if got

Hi AlexLee...there are so many places to go camping. It all boils down to what level if your group at. Do not underestimate our Malaysian Jungle. It is not the easiest place to be in and can be rather daunting.

For school groups, best that you find established places that provide security and safety.

Cheers,
http://www.learning-adventures.net/

10/10/10 is just around the corner
i believe many has already decided what to do on this special date
but if you still dont have any plan

why dont you join my camping and hiking trip to Gunung Tahan 8-11oct
we are planning to be at the peak on 101010

p/s im not travel agent neither do i run any outdoor company, just do this for fun

4 days! Must be quite tough. I am gamed but the duration too short. I am a slow trekker, Which starting point will you be starting from?

hi there... any other hiking place to recommend ???

i have been went to
-broga hill
-bukit gasing
-bukit Apek

any others?

If you want nearby, try G.Nuang.

hi there...want to ask...what to do at broga hill apart from watching sunrise 7 taking pictar???

Dear All,

Appreciate your kind input on (actual)camping site available which is not too extreme in Selangor preferably nearby or in Klang Valley, a few friends of mine is planing on a 3d2n camping activity with few girls involved thus some of them have their worries on security and convenience on the camp site (trust convenience wise wont be much of an issue as most of them expect what is to come about when they mean camping).

To those who are lazy to read:-

- I need campsite name/location and procedures (if any to camp there)
- Any useful advice or better past experience

P.S: any1 camped on brogahill before? will it be safe and convenient?

Camping is roughing it out and maybe adventurous to some. If you want a camping site, it must be near a water source. I don't think Broga has a water source eg. by the river banks that are clean and clear. I can think of Ulu Pangsoon which is at the 18th mile Ulu Langat. Entrance is via Cheras near the 11th mile. Safety wise, it is better to have at least one or better, more that are used to camping. The river there is a quite clear and clean and you need to register with the Forestry wardens there so safety wise is OK. I was late once coming out and they sent villagers to look for us.

It is also the starting trail for Gunung Nuang which is the highest peak in Selangor. The entrance is at the Forestry Department in Ulu Pangsoon.
PS. You have to hike 5 kms. to reach the river banks though.

Planning for a camping trip. Saw a few places here like Lata Hammers which would be great.
Anyone can recommend any nice camping locations that has a hike to the camp spot and a location good to camp? not experts but not really new too.

Any location in surrounding states of Melaka would be nice.
Minimal cost would be appreciated.
