Date: Nov 14 - 23, 2025
Questions? Click here
## Machapuchare: A Sacred Mountain
Unlike most Himalayan peaks, Machapuchare Peak 6,993 meters has never been officially climbed or summited. This is because it is considered sacred to locals and held in reverence. According to Gurung traditions, Macchapuchhre is the abode of Lord Shiva, protector of the region.
Famously called 'Fishtail' Peak or the Nepa's Matterhorn, is one of Nepal's most iconic and enigmatic landmarks. The Fishtail name refers to the fish-tail-like shape of its twin summits. With its distinctive fishtail-shaped double-summit, Machapuchare has captivated the imagination of trekkers, climbers, and nature enthusiasts worldwide.
The Mardi Himal Base Camp is around 4,500 meters & offers breathtaking panoramic views of mountains like Mardi Himal, Machapuchare (Fishtail), Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli.
Who's suitable?
This is a relatively moderate trek suitable for both experienced trekkers and active beginners looking for a challenging yet rewarding adventure & Majective snow cap peaks in the stunning Annapurna region of Nepal.
Need any domestic flights?
Yes & No. We will drive 6 hours from Kathmandu to Pokhara. We can drive back after the trek. But for once let's take a short 30-minute flight with glorious views of the Himalayas and reach Kathmandu is good time?
How to prepare for this trek?
You must be physically and emotionally prepared to attain height and distance. A few weeks before the walk, jogging, running, swimming, and leg exercises would be excellent physical training to prepare yourself for the trek.

Johor Quarry lakes hike: Seri Alam Blue Lagoon
Location not specified yetReady for sign-up!
Question? WhatsApp organizer
โก๏ธ Pay to secure a slot
Min. 8 pax to confirm.This is a wonderful hiking area located in the heart of the Johor rainforest. These 2 lagoons of Seri Alam offer stunning scenery, dense jungles and birdlife galore. Lots of spots to capture Instagram-worthy spots along the trail, including panoramic vistas of the quarries.
You canโt miss the opportunity to explore an abandoned granite quarry in Johor, which offers an eerily beautiful post-apocalyptic scene for photographs. Venture a bit further, and a gorgeous blue/green lake reveals itself within this mini canyon.Hiking to the Seri Alam Blue and Green Lake is worth considering for several compelling reasons:
๐ 1. Unique Twin Lakes (Blue & Green)- The Blue Lake has a surreal turquoise colour due to mineral deposits.
- The Green Lake contrasts with a deep emerald tone.
Both are former quarry sites turned scenic lakes โ a rare natural transformation.
๐ฅพ 2. Beginner-Friendly Hike
The hike is relatively manageable, making it accessible to beginners and families. However, proper hiking footwear is still recommended.
๐๏ธ 3. Beautiful Nature and Photo Ops
Surrounded by lush forest, the area offers great panoramic views.
Ideal for photography, especially during early mornings or golden hour.
Wildlife and flora are abundant โ great for nature lovers.
๐ซ 4. Off-the-Beaten-Path
Not overly commercialised or crowded like the more famous Malaysian trails. A quiet escape into nature just outside Johor Bahru.
โ ๏ธ 5. A Bit of Adventure
Some trails may involve minor climbs or navigating slightly overgrown paths. Adds a small sense of adventure without being dangerous (weather-dependent).Cost, SGD

Being Nature Lovers, we will not rush an itinerary that covers as many spots as a typical package tour. We want to immerse ourselves in the beauty of Nature as much as possible. We are not there for history, shopping, or a touch-and-go rush-and-hurry format. We will spend slightly more than 2.5 days covering as much of Zhangjiajie as possible.
๐พ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ?
Home of Avatar, The Real World of Pandora ๅผ ๅฎถ็ Zhangjiajie is a high tourist place among the top highlights and sceneries of China. The diverse typography of the place erected it as one of the most gorgeous landscapes in the world. Filled with more than 300 different sightseeing spots, touring Zhangjiajie during a China tour is the best way to come back home with amazing pictures, souvenirs and sweet memories. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (โๅผ ๅฎถ็ๅฝๅฎถๆฃฎๆๅ ฌๅญโ in Chinese) features more than 3,000 iconic sandstone columns and peaks, most of which soar beyond 200 meters in height. Throughout the region, a complex pattern of chasms and dales unfolds, with the presence of streams, lakes, and waterfalls around every turn. Zhangjiajie is a real expedition for lovers of large-scale and authentic nature. Yellow Dragon Cavern, Tianzi Mountain, Tianmen Mountain, Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon, Baofeng Lake, Wulingyuan Scenic Area. Zhangjiajie is a jewel of geology and biodiversity during your China trip! For those who love nature, wish to seek adventure, and want to escape from the daily hustle and bustle, Zhangjiajie is a must.ChongqingโChinaโs โMountain Cityโ
The most important city in western China and the economic engine of the upper Yangzi, Chongqing City is a massive and enthralling urban sprawl. Chongqing makes up for a lack of top-notch sights with fantastic food and charismatic geography: its combination of steep hills at the confluence of the Yangzi and Jialing Rivers is a prelude to the even more dramatic scenery of the Three Gorges downstream.WuLong Karst Geological Park
This gigantic nature's wonder site became famous to foreign tourists due to Michael Bay's hit movie, Transformers: Age of Extinction, which directly shows the majestic beauty of the Three Natural Bridges in Wulong. Besides the famous movie site, other interesting natural objects are also in this area, like Furong Cave, Longshuixia Gap and Fairy Mountain.Main route: Sg โบ ้ๅบ โบ ๆญฆ้ โบ ๅผ ๅฎถ็ โบ ๅคฉ้จๅฑฑ โบ ่ฑๅฃๅฟ โบ้ๅบ
