This group is for anyone who finds themselves with these little inner cravings for travel and the mountains. We welcome anyone, especially beginners or recreational hikers, of all ages and fitness levels.
Our aim is to encourage more outdoor travel and experiential learning; to inspire and encourage each other to step out of their comfort zone and enjoy the mountains along with new learning experiences. We wish to encourage a healthy living and fitness, along with appreciating nature as a lifestyle.
Also, we do not wish to be little monsters as travellers. We strive to promote sustainable travel, along with understanding and appreciating local culture. We hope that the experience more than just enjoying yourself and "YOLO".
Therefore, we try to make our trips as affordable and accessible for people.
For this meetup group, feel free to have discussions on trips or any questions on travelling or hiking.
Our trips primarily revolve around having mountains in the region. We do less of Malaysia and more of the other parts of the world to enjoy the different mountain ranges and areas in the world. However, we do some hikes in Malaysia just to build confidence and trust, or also for practical reasons as they usually don't require leave.
Do not worry if you are totally new! We wish to encourage newbies or first-time travellers/hikers/trekkers.
We will try to cater for different trips of varying difficulties. On top of that, each trip will come with advised training and detailed info-kits and briefing, explaining the difficulty and preparation for it!
You can fill up some forms if you wish to be contacted to help arrange trips for you. You may fill up the forms multiple times if you are interested in various trips, or just drop me a WA or email. These forms allow us to help group and gather people together to *make trips happen!* (Also helps for planning leave)

![[Hiking Series] M'sia - Bukit Kutu (1,053m): Fun day hike with great views!](https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/e/3/e/highres_520627742.jpeg)
[Hiking Series] M'sia - Bukit Kutu (1,053m): Fun day hike with great views!
Marsiling (NS8) MRT Station, 71 Woodlands Avenue 3, Singapore 739044, SG*If interested, please whatsapp wa.me/+6588842635 or +65 8884 2635! Sign-ups are only confirmed after contacting us and joining the WA group! Permits are hard to obtain so we'll have a cutoff date, so first come first serve!*
Bukit Kutu (1,053m) is one an extremely popular hike just further north (1.5h) of Kuala Lumpur at Kuala Kubu Bharu, famous for waterfalls and getaways for the city hustlers of KL. Bukit Kutu is also known as Treacher Hill and was a former hill station during colonial times.
The summit offers great views of the surrounding region and is very similar to Gunung Datuk, where the summit is on top of boulders. The hike itself is not technically very difficult and is slightly longer than Datuk but quite similar, do expect your shoes to be wet due to the river/stream crossings!
We're looking to do a good day hike and aim to go back to Singapore by Saturday night.
Hike Description
There are some river/stream crossings at the start. The total duration is ~6h of hiking and ~12km in total, with around 800m in elevation gain. Do note that there are no toilets or wash up area at the start of the trail/end of the trail! So please clean up before getting on the bus and we will head to the R&R.We are aiming to do this in 1 day and be back in SG by Sat night, so this will be a fuss-free hike only itinerary! The focus is on hiking at a good pace!
Who is this for?
=> People who wish to hike similar to Gunung Datuk/Angsi but not too challenging
=> Wish to do a decent full day hike
=> Wish to enjoy somewhat decent weather while hiking
=> Looking for a fuss free hike only itinerary, go for a solid hike in Malaysia and back to SG to sleepIt serves as a good training or progressive hike for those who wish to do more hiking especially if you have done Gunung Datuk and is aiming for something similar. Most do it as training for other treks, like Kinabalu, or Nepal.
Do note that we are looking to start early and descend by around 4-5pm, so we will have cut-off time. Prepare your own meals also!How tough is it/How fit do I have to be?
The trek is around 6h, but can be 4h or less if you are faster. This is slightly longer than Datuk, and easier than Ophir, and the terrain is similar to most Malaysia hikes.
It is generally tropical forest trail, with river/stream crossings, steep parts and ladders near the summit.Minimum pax
Minimum 12 to start the trip!

A: There isn't, so this means bring your own wipes and toilets are all "natural". Don't worry we will stop by toilets before and after the hike.
- What do I have to look out for?
A: Trees, Logs, leeches sometimes, depends on the weather. Also, make sure to have firm footing and go steadily during the river crossings!
- Where are the meals (breakfast/lunch/dinner?)
We might stop by breakfast if there is enough time, if not it'll be at the R&R. Lunch is packed by yourself/on the go during the hike. Dinner might be a quick one at the R&R when we wash up, but if everyone is fast we can have a good dinner!

{Leisure Hike} M'sia - Bukit Senaling (394m): Sunrise Hike + Sea of Clouds + R&R

Join us for a leisure hike, where the idea is to include hiking in our lifestyle. For the Leisure Hike series, we always look at a hike that isn't too intense, just to get our limbs moving, have fresh air, and hopefully good company too, and combine with an R&R activity. We'll do an easy hike for a sunrise view and enjoying being out nature before heading for good food in Malacca and leave for some time for R&R
So bring your friends, make new friends and hang out together! There is nothing like enjoying Nature and good food!
Bukit Senaling (394m) is a famous beginner hill in Malaysia which everyone goes for the "sea of clouds". It is a leisure hike up and down, so it will just be something to warm up the body and have a view! We'll try to pack some breakfast along the way (bring your own containers), or bring your own food, floor mats, or coffee/tumblers/cups. We'll start hiking early, so we can have breakfast at the summit while waiting for sunrise =)
It takes around an hour + to reach the summit, and the same amount down. The idea here is to take your time to enjoy the morning walk, the fresh air and the sunrise. It'll be nice to sip a hot drink while looking at sunrise, breathe in fresh air and feel connected to Nature. After which, we'll descent and head to either Malacca where its free and easy and we can all have some massage and good food!
If interested, do whatsapp +65 8884 2635. A whatsapp group will be set up for further information and coordination.
A minimum of 12 pax is needed for this trip to go ahead. Your place is only confirmed once payment is made.

[Hiking Series] M'sia-Gunung Belumut(1,010m) + Rimau: Full-Day Training Hike!
Marsiling (NS8) MRT Station, 71 Woodlands Avenue 3, Singapore 739044, SG*If interested, please whatsapp wa.me/+6588842635 or +65 8884 2635! Sign-ups are only confirmed after contacting us and joining the WA group! *
As we don't just wish to do Belumut, we are going to do an extension which includes going to another "peak" Gua Rimau. Gunung Belumut (1,010m) is an excellent (some say challenging) day-hike near Kluang, which is around 2 hours from Singapore. It is often used as a training hike to keep up in fitness, or as preparation for other hikes as it gives you experience and preparation for other tougher hike in Malaysia, like Ophir, other G7 mountains in Malaysia, or Kinabalu. Due to its location, makes it a solid day hike, still have a good dinner and be back in SG in 1 day.
It is located in the Hutan Lipur Gunung Lumut (Mount Belumut Recreational Forest). There are 4 ‘checkpoints’ on the way to the peak. The trail is a forest trail which gets steeper, and some roped sections here and there. It serves as good training as the route is reasonably straight forward, and keeps ascending with little flat ground. The extension to Gua Rimau is an additional 3-4km (an additional ~1-2h total)
Most fit hikers can reach Belumut Summit in less than 4 hours, and Rimau in around 5h, and be back down in less than 4h, but average hikes take around 4h one way.
It is slightly longer than Lambak, Datuk or Angsi, but not as long as Ophir or Kinabalu. However, that also depends on the terrain conditions, so its at least solid day of hiking (8-11h)! Do note that there are leeches on this trail, and rain can make it slipper and muddy!
Who is this for?
It is most suitable for those who want to test their fitness and mental strength, experience a tougher hike other than Lambak or Datuk, or to do another hike other than the usual ones. It is also shorter than Ophir.
It serves as a good training or progressive hike for those who wish to do more hiking. Most do it as general training for other hikes.
How tough is it/How fit do I have to be?
The trek is inclduing the extension is around 5h up and 4h down, and can be 8-11h depending on your pace.
It is generally tropical forest trail, can be muddy, and there are some rope portions. The route is quite straight forward, but it just ascends all the way up.
However, if you have done Gunung Datuk/Lambak/Angsi before, the terrain is not that much of a surprise.
This is okay for newbies, as long as you have some level of fitness, if not it might be fun and challenging for those who are first time in Malaysia!
How many pax for the trip to happen?
Minimum 12 pax to start the trip! Once confirmed, a Whatsapp group/info-session will be set up.
