Gunung Tapis (1,512m)+ Tiga Beradik (3 Beradik) is a beautiful hike, famous for the mystical views and amazing flora and fauna, which I can say is not necessarily associated with many other hikes in West-Malaysia. With its misty forest vibes, bonsai trees, expansive open views, tranquil summits, one gets to experience a journey that hopefully allows one to experience different amazing views and hopefully other perspectives of nature. You'll get to go through 'Bonsai Camp', 'Lost Valley', what enticing names! Of course, this doesn't come with its challenges, but the challenge will make the views even more satisfying. Do note that while the total distance is ~17km with ~1,700m elevation gain which can sound quite tough, you can do a shorter version of it will allow one to enjoy the view without reaching Puncak 3 Beradik.
In addition, we intend to pair it with Panorama Hill at Sungei Lembing, famous for the sea of clouds the next morning. This trip centers around being in Sungai Lembing, where most locals head there to escape the city due to the beautiful nature with peaceful and laidback vibes, while being around an hour from the city of Kuantan. So enjoy being away from the rush of the city (and convenience), and just being out and about in Nature in a more relaxing and tranquil environment.
This is a hike that isn't that well-known or run as a regular trip, and will need advanced planning so do sign up early! Also, there is a 1h 4WD to start the trip.

Hike Details
The total distance is ~17km and total elevation gain is ~1700+.The hike is around 10-12 in total, depending on your speed. There will be a 1.5h 4WD journey also.
The hike intensity will be similar to Ophir Asahan or slightly longer. With a lack of sleep, it can and will be tiring on your mind, body and legs. However, there can be a shorter trip (u-turn earlier) but we'll aim to have everyone complete both peaks if possible!
It is generally tropical forest trail, with vegetation more similar to those at the higher altitude (1,500m). The trail is likely more raw, as not many people hike this regularly. Do expect it to be muddy, and narrow!
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 6pm.
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.
