Gunung Pulai (654m) is another extremely popular mountain with locals and Singaporeans. Most people visit Pulai for an easy weekend hike, where you can take either the jungle trail or tar trail up and have a nice view at the top. There are also trail running events for this area. For this trip, we are doing the Trans QJM, which is part of the QJM Ultra, where railrunners do and its often done for hardcore training. This includes ~2,000 elevation gain for the whole trip as well as past 6 river sections. It is known to look like an eagle route when you map it (on strava etc)

{Hardcore Hike Series}
This focuses on hikes on the opposite end of the spectrum from leisure hikes. Hikes are expected to be >12h, and we usually start and end at night. We expect the participants to be experienced and slightly "crazy" enough to push themselves to the limit and embrace challenges.

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 much further (X2)
=> Wish to hike more than 12h and deal with going steep uphills, and then down, and then up again, with wet shoes, 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 might start and descend when dark, so please bring headlights and we expect some level of fitness or hiking experience for the group! We'll try to start as early as possible. Therefore, it'll be an intense hike because you will do it with little/no sleep after Friday night. So do be mentally and physically prepared for it!

Hike Details
The total distance is ~23km and total elevation gain is ~200m+.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, branches, insects, rivers (you name it you get it?). Do note that there will be lots of ups and downs so be mentally prepared for it.

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 9pm.

Minimum pax
Minimum 12 to start the trip!
Once confirmed, will update in the WA group and ask for details and payment.
