Gunung Ledang

Now I'll tell you my story on gunung ledang.

It was started on the morning of 2nd march and ended in the evening of 3rd march

This mountain is the 64th highest mountain in malaysia.. but it is the 6th difficult...

The cost for this trek is very expensive. To be able to join the trek, I have to buy a new bag, a shoe, socks, raincoat, sleeping bag, and etc. It was cost me about RM250-RM300. I also have to pay for the registration fee which is RM105. This trek cause me a defisit for my February pocket money, but it was worth it because I got a great experience on Gunung Ledang.

When we trek on Gunung Ledang, My condition is much better than the condition when I trek on Gunung Datuk. I trek with nice pace and much faster than before. This time, we are not trekking directly to the peak, we trek for approximately 4 hours to the campsite, and then we took a rest, eat something, and tried to relax our body and mind. After about 1 hours , we started to trek to the peak. The trek to the peak take 3 hours. I reached the peak together with Amos, Nee on, Kourosh, Mr.  Varga,  and Armien. I feel so great that I can reach the peak together with these men, because they are very fast trekker. I able to make it because I started to jog every week and having another outdoor clubs in tuesday and wednesday. These exercise have increase my stamina and my leg power a lot. By the way, Farah and Ms. Nurashima did not reach the peak because Ms. Nurashima got a cramp and Farah should accompany her to get back to the campsite.

It was very cold and windy on the peak, which made me have to use my raincoat to cover my body, but unfortunately I wore Short and that make my leg feel so cold. Anyway, the view up there was so great, and we were above of some clouds. But we couldn't see sunset because the clouds covered the sun.

On the way back, it was very dangerous and more challenging because it was so dark. Due to the darkness on the night, 2 persons was Injured, Kelly and Armien. Luckily the injured was not so bad.

The fullmoon at that time is so great. It just so clear, quiet big, and shiny, but unfortunately I didn't get any good pictures of the moon.


Anyway, here are some pictures that I want to share :


The views on the peak


The waterfall is not big, but it is quiet beautifull ( the last pic of the waterfall was taken by Mr. TMC)



Our Campsite


I found some nice flowers on the way up (the second flower pictures was taken by Mr. TMC)


the ladder and rope section which make the trek become more fun, more challenging, and more dangerous. We have to hold tight on the rope or else we will fall and get injured.


Armien, Me, and Nee on (that was fun, miss that moment already)
