As we don't just wish to do Belumut, or just do Belumut + Gua Rimau, we are going to attempt to do the full CBR loop or also known as Gunung Chemendong (846m)-Belumut(1,010m)-Rimau(889m) Loop.

Gunung Chemendong (846m) and Belumut (1,010m) is already 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). We'll start with Chemendong first, crossing to the waterfall before heading to Belumut Peak, then the Rimau extension before turning back to the Belumut entrance so that it becomes a full loop (on GPS) and also be able to shower.

We'll try to start as early as possible. Do note that this is an intense hike because you will do it with little/no sleep after Friday night. So do be mentally and physically prepared for it! You are also expected to get wet due to chance of rain, or crossing the streams!

Who is this for?
=> People who wish to/can challenge themselves (I would say to the point of torture)
=> People who have done full day hikes (e.g. Ophir) and wish to challenge themselves further
=> Wish to hike more than 12h and deal with different terrains such as crossing streams, going steep uphills, and then down, and then up again to test their mental fortitude
=> Training for tough hikes (high altitude hikes etc)
=> Generally suited for more experienced hikers who know they can last at least 12h hiking
=> Test yourself hiking with little/no sleep

Do note that we will start and might descend when dark, so please bring headlights and we expect some level of fitness or hiking experience for the group!

Hike Details
The total distance is ~25km and total elevation gain is ~2000m+.The hike is around 12-16h in total, depending on your speed. This is almost 2x as long as Ophir Asahan hike. It can and will be extremely tiring on your mind, body and legs.

It is generally tropical forest trail, with some rope portions, ladders, streams, waterpipes, waterfall, branches, insects (you name it you get it?). Do note that there will be lots of ups and downs so be mentally prepared for it.

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.
