Mount Raung is one of the more "extreme" and exciting trails in Indonesia. It is known as the one with the ridgeline trek, requires the usage of ropes for safety and water conservation because there is no water supply along the trek.

It is also one of the most active volcano in Indonesia, with the largest crater in Java at over 2km in diameter. It used to be one of the more remote and least climbed 3,00m peak in Indonesia. Embarking on an expedition to Mt. Raung can be a pretty epic and unforgettable experience!

Mount Raung have four peaks is Bendera Peak, 17 Peak, Tusukgigi Peak and The One Sejati Peak (3,344 masl).

We are taking the route via Kalibaru to “Puncak Sejati” the highest peak of Mount Raung.

What to expect?

For Raung, you need to have strong stamina as we will be going to camp 7 on the 1st day. Also, you will need to be confident of walking ridge-lines and rocky terrains, and having to deal with some minor portions with ropes and rappelling. It is not totally technical, except for some portions.

Who is this for?

This is for anyone who wishes to challenge themselves after doing the main mountains in the region but wish for a further challenge or some technical challenge. This is not for beginners, as some prior hiking experience is required and an adventurous spirit. Good fitness is required to maximize success. Be prepared to at least 10+ hours per day.

Pre-requisites: Must have done a camping hike before, and be okay with using hands, climbing up steep sections. Suggestion to have done Semeru/Rinjani/Agung before attempting this.

Looking to explore a Via Ferrata trip called Gunung Nenek Semukut (~690m), located in the south of Tioman in a small and slightly off the beaten track of Kampung Mukut. This trip is focused on the via Ferrata trip, with a trip to the waterfall, and the rest of the time just enjoying the beach and chilling! This is because Kampung Mukut is not easy to get to and there isn't much to do around there. It is possible to do snorkeling as an add-on!

We will have to head to Mersing and take the ferry to Tioman, before taking another water transport to Mukut. As the ferry schedule is only out in July, the first day will likely just be travelling. This trip therefore requires 1 day of leave.

Who is this for?

=> Those who wish to try out via Ferrata without going to hike Kinabalu
=> Those who are not afraid of heights, willing or adventurous enough to explore Via Ferrata
=> Those who wish to do a core activity, and chill the rest of the time in a place that's away from all the hustle and bustle of a city
=> Do a variety of different activities (Hiking, Via Ferrata, waterfall, chill, snorkel)
=> This trip is not for super hardcore hikes or those who are looking for for a long hike.

Details
Group Size: Minimum 12 pax.
Accommodation: Will be shared accommodation.
Requires 1 day leave

Itinerary:
Friday: SG -> Mersing -> Tioman -> Mukut. Timing is dependent on the ferry schedule
Saturday: Hike Dragon's Horn in the morning. Finish by late afternoon, chill.
Sunday: Mukut -> Tioman -> Mersing -> SG

The Pine Tree Trail + Twin Peaks encompass two peaks, the Pine Tree Hill peak(1,456m) and Twin Peak Hill peak (1,505m). It is one of the more famous hikes at Fraser Hill, which is a hill resort famous for its cooling weather, highland rainforest and birdlife, further north of KL.

Hike Description
The Pine Tree Trail is relatively straight forward, with just gentle upslopes and downslopes, small undulating bends and takes around 3-4hours (1 way), until you reach the base, where the famous steep slope (almost vertical so please ascend and descent carefully) awaits just before the summit. From the summit, it takes 45 min to 1h to get to the next summit "Twin Peak"! At both peaks, you can get a view of the surroundings (lots of green!), with the Titiwangsa Range Pahang and perhaps Genting in the distance.

The total duration is ~8h of hiking and almost 13km in total. 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! However, do expect to be back really late past midnight!

Who is this for?

=> People who wish to challenge themselves
=> Wish to do a decent full day hike
=> Wish to enjoy some cooling weather while hiking
=> Looking for a fuss free hike only itinerary, go for a solid hike in Malaysia and back to SG to sleep

It serves as a good training or progressive hike for those who wish to do more hiking. 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 8h, but can be 6h or less if you are faster. The elevation gain isn't much, it is just a long trail. If you can do Ophir, this should be similar. It is a solid full day hike (13+km), and the terrain is similar to most Malaysia hikes.

It is generally tropical forest trail, climbing over some logs. Only the steep slope requires the use of hands, and the part after the Pine Tree Summit can be quite muddy.

This is good for people who have some level of fitness and hiking experience. We will go at pace, if you can't keep up it is fine, because you can always stop at the Pine Tree Hill summit!

If you fail to make it you will have to turn back unfortunately, as the distance is long. We aim to descend latest by 6pm.

Some additional questions:

1. How long is the ride to Fraser Hill

A: It can take 7-9h from Singapore

2. Why are we not staying overnight?

A: This is so that we can save money on accommodation/driver cost. Also, we wish to be able to spend Sunday with family/friends/sleeping in Singapore, so we decided to spend Sat night travelling back than Sunday instead.

3. Are there shower or toilet facilities at the trail?

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.

4. What do I have to look out for?

A: Logs, and leeches sometimes, depends on the weather. Also, make sure to have firm footing and go steadily during the steep slope!

5. 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!

Gunung Ledang, or commonly known as Mount Ophir (1,276m) is the highest mountain in Johor and almost the most climbed mountain there.

This is a good step-up hike for those who are looking to progress to tougher hikes after Gunung Datuk or are training or preparing for Kinabalu/Nepal etc.

Who is this for?
It serves as a good training or progressive hike for those who wish to do more hiking. Most do it as training for other treks, like Kinabalu, or Nepal.

How tough is it/How fit do I have to be?

It is twice as long as Gunung Datuk. The trek is around 4-5h up and 3-4h down, making it a total of 9h. The total elevation is around 1,000m up and down. It can be quite tiring on your legs.

It is generally tropical forest trail, with some rope portions, ladders and rock faces. It can be quite fun to go through the different terrain with the need to use your hands at some points.

However, if you have done Gunung Datuk before, the terrain is not that much of a surprise. The tough part is only the duration.

This is good for people who have some level of fitness, if not it will be fun for those who are first time in Malaysia!

What happens if I am slow?

There is a 1 guide to 7 hikers ratio. There is also a cut-off timing to the summit, if you fail to make it you will have to turn back! So far everyone I've brought made it =). Do note if you descent past a certain time, there is a penalty.

How many pax for the trip to happen?

Minimum 12 pax to start the trip!

Once confirmed, a Whatsapp group will be set up.

Some additional questions:

1. How long is the ride to Mount Ophir

A: It takes only around 3-4h from Singapore

2. The journey to Ophir only takes 3 hours, why do we set off so early?

A: This is so that we can save money on accommodation/driver cost/taxi to MRT station. This also means there is a lack of sleep, so try to sleep in the vehicle! Bring a travel pillow!

3. Are there shower or toilet facilities at the park?

A: Yes there are but basic. Expect using a hose/bucket. Please bring a change of clothes and shower when you are down from Ophir. No smelly people in the vehicle!

4. What do I have to look out for?

A: There are mosquitoes and leeches sometimes, depends on the weather.

5. Where is dinner?

We would have dinner in Tangkak at a cheap and nice chinese restaurant, if there are dietary concerns there are other options around the area also.
