Both Gunung Relau and Gunung Bujang Melaka are sought after day hikes in Kampar, Perak. This 2D/1N hike however offers us the chance to tackle two mountains in one weekend.

Many visitors head for the Batu Berangkai waterfall, but for this event we embark on a hiking trip to two other destinations in the vicinity, Gunung Relau and Gunung Bujang Melaka.

Don't underestimate the difficulty level of the hike, especially if you haven't participated for a multiple day hike before. There are some fierce ascents and descents along the way.

This is a hike which is absolutely NOT suitable for “beginners” and “less experienced hikers”.

We meet early Saturday morning and should reach the trailhead once again Sunday in the early afternoon.

The first day will be the toughest with an IBP rating of 115 and a total distance slightly more than 10 kilometres. First we will hike Gunung Relau (959m asl), also known as Cannon Hill because of the empty ammunition boxes littered at the summit. We will then return to Simpang Relau and start the ascent of Gunung Bujung Melaka (1240m asl). We will camp on the slope of the mountain.

The second day we will head for the summit of Gunung Bujang Melaka and return to break camp. Next we will continue the descent towards the trailhead. This hike is rated IBP 64 for a total distance of almost 9 kilometres.

IMPORTANT: keep in mind that there is always a chance that we are not allowed to hike due to dangerous weather or other conditions (eg heavy rain, flood, landslide, health measures...) - we cannot be held responsible for such cancellation.
