Itinerary description
Note: This is a continuous tracking, over 4d3n. And thanks to Wikiloc's maximum allowed waypoints, I decided to not mark, all of the streams, rivers and/or bridges (and there are many!). Instead, I decided to ONLY mark, only major landmarks, and those rivers/streams, where y'all can never avoid, to get wet. So, if y'all ever decided to attempt this trail, don't ever wear waterproof boots/shoes. Once those gets wet, it'll be near impossible to get it dry, for the next-day hike. Trust me, hiking on such difficult trail, using wet boots, sometimes for more than 10 hours, is not fun.
Originally 5d4n, became 4d3n, with the 4th night, spent at Pos Lelar's village. We decided not to camp at Junction Campsite, on Day 4, and pushed on out, all the way, to Pos Lelar, from Perodua Campsite.
This trip, was originally planned, 2 years ago. But then, COVID happened, and still is happening. However, finally, we managed to do it. But of course, the last trip done, by other groups, was 2 years ago, so, y'all can imagine, how Mother Nature, would've retaken the trail. And retake the trail, She did. Had to spend hours on certain sections of the trail, and reopen the route. And damn, this trip was tough. Both in terms of technical difficulty, and the distance+elevation. But at least, another one off, off my hiking destinations' wishlist
Campsite Note:
So far, each Campsite's filled to the brim, with mosquitoes and worst of it all, SANDFLIES! No leeches, so far, though some did commented that they got some. So, maybe I was just lucky?

Waypoints
Y Campsite
Warning! Anywhere y'all decides to camp, out here, be ready for sandflies. There's loads of em'. Splits to either Ulu Sepat, or Gerah, Bilah and Bieh
Perodua Campsite
Warning! Anywhere y'all decides to camp, out here, be ready for sandflies. There's loads of em'. This is a very small campsite. There were 30 of us, which meant that we had no choice, but to open new spaces, to camp.
Stream Trail Starts
Stream Trail Ends
Mount Lunch 1240m asl
Officially named, as such, I guess, IDK. Since there's a sign. However, no name, on any map, though.
Landslide with Viewpoint
This whole stretch of ascend/descend area, apparently is a ghost zone (GPS-free zone). Thus, the straight line recorded, both up, and down.
Mount Gerah 2103m asl
Gerah is the only summit with a Trig Tower. While Bieh and Bilah, has none.
Water Source (ON TRAIL)
Do bring water filter, coz, if it rains, this small, clear and clean stream, can become cloudy
Mount Agek 1244m asl
Known locally as Mount Bongok, though there's no official signage, nor does it appears on any map. Those who've done this trail, would understand why this mountain was named as such. And, if you're attempting this trail, you'll soon find out why😅🤣
Mount Bongok 1251m asl
Known locally as Mount Bongok, though there's no official signage, nor does it appears on any map. Those who've done this trail, would understand why this mountain was named as such. And, if you're attempting this trail, you'll soon find out why😅🤣
