Itinerary description
With Kuala Lumpur Hiking and Trail Running
In terms of technical difficulty, only the first few kilometers, from the Actual Original Trailhead, towards the river crossing is difficult, while the rest is considered as easy, depending on the levels of your own fitness. And since I am still with my personal load training program, I would personally consider it difficult (with load weight, and the size of the pack I was carrying).
We last did this mountain (yes, mountain. Not a bukit. It is, above 1000m after all) 5 years ago, in 2017. Alex (KLH'S head honcho) had created 2 options for us that participated, to choose from. Option A (easy) and Option B (hard, original trail). Naturally, we chose Option B 🤣. And damn, Option B does not disappoint! From fully closed trails, to fallen trees and bamboos, you name it. In the end, due to how tough Option B was, almost all that opted for it, decided to return via Option A, and walked down the road, 3.5km back to Option B starting point. Not for us, though. We needed to return via Option B trail (Actual, Original Trailhead), to rectify my mistake (mistakenly diverting onto a wrong turn) just to show how you can avoid it, and, we're also on a missing shoe mission🤣.
PS: due to how thick the original trail has been, we made a mistake, and deviated away from the intended trail. This is marked on the map, just so that whoever is intending to use this map, can choose to avoid repeating our mistake, or, be a bit adventurous🤣
