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]Indonesia: Arjuno(3,337m)-Welirang(3,137m) Twin Summits Traverse
Little Monsters Travel, 465 Crawford Ln, #02-06, Singapore 190465, Singapore, 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! *
Looking to introduce hikers to other beautiful mountains in Indonesia, other than Rinjani!
This trip aims to do the twin summits of Arjuno (3,337m) and Welirang (3,156m) via a traverse route, where we head up one way, cross the 2 summits and descend via another route! On top of that, you will cross 2 Kembar Peaks, making it 4 peaks in total! This will be a camping trip with 2 nights of camping, with 2 sunrise hikes!
There are a variety of trails for the mountain and different types of views from both mountains! From stone trails, to sulphur rocks and miners, to lush forest and tall pine trees, to the huge active volcanic crater of Welirang. There are amazing views of the surrounding mountains from the top, being able to see Semeru erupting in the distance, or Arguporo, Lawu, Raung etc. You can take a walk around the Welirang crater which would be an amazing experience. If you still have energy, do spend sunset at the Kembar Peaks!
Individually, both mountains are not technically difficult or particularly long. They are similar in difficulty to Merbabu, which means they are "beginner-friendly". However, this trip is long and there are many ascents and descents before we cross to the different mountain peaks.
As this is a traverse trip, it is important to have the mental and physical endurance for this.
Who is this for?
> > * Challenge of doing 2 summits back to back!
> > * Experience camping
> > * Experience an overnight summit push
> > * Multi-day hiking
> > * Experience 3,000m mountains with beautiful views
> > * Huge step-up from easy hikes Ijen/Batur if one has done it before and similar to Mount Ophir in Malaysia, but X2!
> > * Not a luxury trip! For people who are open-minded and comfortable with camping and staying outdoorsCan Beginners do it?
Depends on what kind of beginners, If you are adventurous and fit, I would say yes, as the mountains individually are not technically difficult. However, would be good to have some hiking experience at least! You have to be open-minded and mentally strong to do 2 mountains in 1 trip. You are expected to hike over 3 days, each day around 6 hours at least, with summit day being even longer. Some experience and good fitness is encouraged, if not have lots of mental fortitude.
If interested, please Whatsapp 8884 2635! Coordinate is done through the whatsapp group will be set up to coordinate further details and for a more detailed brief and instructions

[Surf Series] Thailand - Raised By Waves Khao Lak Surf Retreat
Phuket, Thailand, TH*If interested, please send us a message on Instagram @Raised.By.Waves! We have limited spots for each date.*
At our surf retreats, you'll experience the perfect mix of waves, adventure, and fun. More than just surfing, it’s about the thrill, making friends, and unforgettable memories. Let’s ride the waves and make this an epic experience!

The coastline features incredibly forgiving sandbars and uncrowded reef breaks. It is famous for its gentle, long-peeling waves that are absolutely perfect for beginners finding their balance, yet offers plenty of fun, punchy peaks for intermediate surfers looking to progress.
Whether you're stepping onto a board for the very first time or looking to sharpen your skills, Khao Lak delivers the ultimate tropical surf backdrop.

[Hiking Series] M'sia - Trans Naning: Challenging Full Day Hike with 7 'Peaks'!
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! *
Welcome to our first Trans Naning! This is similar profile to the other challenging/hardcore hikes series (e.g. CBR, QJM, Rajah etc), although I would say its slightly easier/shorter, or the entry level to the hardcore hike series.
Trans Naning is a pretty famous trail in the area as Gunung Datuk, for those who want an intense and punishing full day hike in Negiri Sembilan! The good thing about Trans Naning compared to other challenging hikes in Malaysia is that due to its distance from Singapore, we can complete this itinerary within a day and do not need to stay overnight in Malaysia. Do note that this is a pure hiking trip and there will be no leisure/R&R activities.
Trans Naning isn't a route that has high elevation, with the highest being Gunung Rembau (884m), however it can be quite a punishing route with the steep inclines and switchbacks. You'll descend down about 700m before ascending straight back up. There will be river crossings, general forest trail similar to Gunung Datuk, just more raw, narrower paths. There are 7 different 'peaks' which acts as checkpoints,
1. Gunung Gunung Selatan (733m)
2. Tampin Utara (728m)
3. Peak 705 (705m)
4. Peak 701 (701m)
5. Gununh Gagak (807m)
6. Gunung Rembau (884m)
7. Gunung Datuk (855m)We'll be starting the route from Tampin side, and end off at Datuk. This is so that we have some shower facilities. The hike usually takes an average of at least 10-12h, so please be mentally prepared for it!
Who is this for?
=> People who wish to/can challenge/test themselves (I would say to the limits)
=> People who have done full day hikes (e.g. Ophir) and wish to challenge themselves even further
=> Wish to hike close to 12h and deal with undulating trails
=> Training for tough hikes (long distance, high altitude hikes etc)
=> Generally suited for more experienced hikers who know they can last at least 12h hiking
==> Want a tough hike but don't wish to stay overnight in Malaysia
==> Just want to hike and have no other 'R&R' activitiesDo note that we will start early and might descend at night, so please bring headlights, and we expect some level of fitness or hiking experience for the group!
Hike Details
The total distance is ~16km and total elevation gain is ~1800m.The hike is around 10-14h in total, depending on your speed. This is almost 1.5x as long as Ophir Asahan hike. It can and will be extremely tiring on your mind, body and legs.This is good for people who have some level of fitness and hiking experience. As this can be quite a challenging route, the group pace will be quite fast and we'll push at a certain speed.
There is also a cut-off timings which we'll enforce more strictly. If you fail to make it you will have to turn back unfortunately, as the distance is long. We aim to all be back down by 8pm.
How many pax for the trip to happen?
Minimum 12 pax to start the trip!
A Whatsapp group will be set up and information sent through there.Here is the estimated itinerary:
Saturday
10.30 to 11.30pm (Final timing to be decided in the WA group) – Meet Marsiling MRT, depart for Trans Naning Hike
4.00am – Stop by for breakfast
5.00am – Start trek at Tampin trailhead with headlights
