The first part of the hike is flat, taking you through streams and abandoned orchards of the indigenous dwellers. The trail can be slippery, with leaves and foliage covering mossy rocks and an uneven path. You can hear the murmur of the flowing stream and the gushing waters of the Batu Berangkai rapids. Upon reaching an intersection, stay to the right and cross the main stream, which may be waist-height during the rainy season. After passing the Orang Asli hut checkpoint, the trail becomes steep. Be prepared to climb and scamper on boulders, ropes, roots, and fallen trees. Watch out for two huge holes and listen for the echos of nature's orchestra, including Siamang monkeys, tropical cicadas, birds, and bees. Upon arriving at a giant boulder, you will hike to reach the peak of Gunung Relau. You will also see mysterious boxes of ammo from World War II, which adds to the hike's historical charm **Gunung Relau 子弹山 + Gunung Bujang Melaka - 光棍山 Hike** Altitude : 0951m / 3120ft - Gunung Relau / Cannon Hill Altitude : 1233m / 3120ft - Gunung Bujang Melaka EG : 1750m +/- Distance : 11km/way or 22km/return +- Duration : 10-14 Hours (including Resting & Photo Shooting) Level : 7/10 Moderate to hard **THIS IS NOT BEGINNER HIKE!!** You need to have a good fitness level (exercise regularly) and relevant trekking experience to sign up for this hike. **⚠⚠⚠** In order to maximize the fun of mountaineering, all participants must have a clear understanding of the nature and characteristics of the mountains, their own physical fitness and health, and all injuries must be borne by themselves. **NOTES:** 1\.

Sign-ups *are only confirmed after contacting us and joining the WA group! \**** Gunung Datuk is a good **challenging (depends on who you ask)** starting hike and introduction to trekking for beginners or first-timers who wish to know **what hiking really entails!** It is also one of the more fun short-day hikes for the adventurous! Mount Datuk (885m) is an extremely popular 1-day beginner hike located in Malaysia, about an hour away from Malacca. The hike takes an average of 2.5h up and 2.5h down. It is not too long, yet challenging and strenuous enough for a half-day hike. There are some very steep parts and the trek requires using your hands. Additionally, there are minor rope sections and ladders near the summit. This trek can be **challenging for beginners** so be prepared for a fun adventurous experience. At the summit, there is a nice view of the surroundings and we can take a break on the rocks and enjoy the wind before descending! After that, the plan is to hunt for some good food in Malacca! If we end earlier, there will be more time for free and easy along Jonker street. Of course within the group, there will be people of various speeds. Those faster can have more time at the summit and wash up first. Please be patient for the slower ones! The intention of the trip is to introduce newbies who haven't tried trekking before so please be patient and welcoming! It is important to be open-minded and sporting enough to embrace challenges! There are mosquitoes and leeches abound =) **Do note it is NOT a walk in the park** To confirm, do RSVP and send me a whatsapp message! A Whatsapp group will be set up. A minimum of **12 pax** is needed for this trip to go ahead. Your place is only confirmed once payment is made.

How long is the ride to Mount Datuk A: It takes only around 3-4h from Singapore - Datuk/Malacca. 2. The journey to Datuk 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: Very basic shower and toilet facilities. Please bring a change of clothes and shower when you are down from Datuk. No smelly people in the vehicle! 4. Do I get to see the sunrise at the top? A: Maybe. Depends on how comfortable everyone is with walking with headlights. 5. I am totally new to hiking, what should I bring/wear? Is there training? A: I will set up a WhatsApp group for questions and provide some info-kit to prepare. Most important is being open =) 6. How fit do I have to be? I am afraid of being the slowest/burden to the group. A: You would need basic endurance and be open-minded, embrace the challenge of using your hands and going up and down rocks or steep terrain. Many people have done Datuk, of various fitness, the group will move at a slower pace to help build that confidence. 7. What happens if it rains! A: If it is a light drizzle, we would continue. Usually we'll continue, or wait until the heavy rain stops. If it rains, it'll be slippery so go slow!

Sign-ups *are only confirmed after contacting us and joining the WA group! \**** Gunung Panti (531m) is one of the most popular and famous beginner hikes in Malaysia due to it being relatively short, easy, and its distance from Singapore (1+h) being at Kota Tinggi. It is often used as a training mountain for most Singaporeans. There are a few different trails to Panti summit, but the general route is slightly longer than Lambak and similar to Datuk. It takes about 2h each way. It is famous for having a steep vertical wall face near the summit, similar to Fraser Hill, with some elements of small stream crossing. This will be a fun introduction to Malaysia hikes for most people, with gradual uphills, various elements, and some hours of hiking to work up a sweat! **Who is this for?** * It is most suitable for those who wish to experience a hike that isn't too tough and suitable as a starting point for Malaysia hikes * Just want short/fun training hike out that isn't too tough like Ophir, or to do another hike other than the usual ones. * A decent Malaysia hike with its various elements (forest, mud, logs, vertical wall face, leeches) * It serves as a good training or progressive hike for those who wish to do more hiking. Most do it as general training for hikes. * If you wish for a bit of thrill in using your hands and legs to climb up either the ladders or rock wall **How tough is it/How fit do I have to be?** The hike is around 2h up and 2h down, making it a total of \~5h (with a 1h break). It is generally tropical forest trail, with small water crossing and a rope/ladder portion (vertical wall face) near the summit. If you have done any other Malaysia hikes before, like Gunung Datuk/Lambak before, the terrain is not that much of a surprise. This is okay for newbies, as long as you have some level of fitness and is open minded, if not it will be fun for those who are first time in Malaysia! **How many pax for the trip to happen?** Minimum **12 pax** to start the trip! **Estimated Itinerary: (Saturday**) \~6.00 am : Meet @ Marsiling MRT 7.00 am : Breakfast/Head straight to start point 9.00 am : Start Hike 11.00 am : Panti Summit 12:00 pm : Descend back to the base 2:00 pm : Arrive at base.

It is widely regarded as a beginner-friendly mountain, though it features varied terrain that can still provide a good workout for experienced hikers. **Hiking Overview** The mountain offers several trails ranging from paved roads to steep jungle paths. The **Gunung Lambak Butterfly Route**, Johor, that connects the two summits of Gunung Lambak (510m) in a shape resembling a butterfly. This intermediate-to-advanced trail is renowned for its steep, technical terrain, narrow ridges, and dense forest, making it a popular training ground for larger hikes. Key Features of the Butterfly Route * **Total Distance:** Approximately 10 – 12 km (variations exist, with some short-cut routes recorded at 10 km). * **Elevation Gain:** Roughly \~ 900+ meters, with steep, non-stop climbs. 👉 ***A few sections with ropes and tree roots only! Gloves will be good.*** 👈 * **Duration:** Typically takes 5–6 hours, depending on pace and trail conditions. 👉 ***We will start earlier and allow more time for a slower pace. Safety is of utmost importance***. 👈 * **Highlights:** Covers both the North and South peaks, passing through steep, rooted terrain, ridge walks, and dense, scenic jungle. **Route Details** * **The "Butterfly" Concept:** The route lets you summit both the North and South peaks in one go. You typically go up one summit, descend, and then climb back up the other to complete the "wings" of the butterfly. * **Terrain:** Expect dense forest, sprawling tree roots, and muddy trails. Some sections have a **60-degree incline** requiring the use of fixed ropes. **Who is Suitable?** Regular hikers, who have hiked in Malaysia's terrain before, will appreciate the beginner-friendly options: Panti, Pulai, Broga, Arong, Blue Lake, Bukit Mor, or the intermediate options like Datok and Angsi. This will be a higher level up your skills. Not suitable if you never hiked in Malaysia jungle terrain before. Parks & Garden not counted. **Local breakfast and pack your own lunch** \- We will find a suitable food court or kopitam in Kluang town\. This explains why we depart early 5 am\, from Marsiling\. It is \~ 100 km\, a 90 \- 100\-minute drive from CIQ to Kluang town\.

We will meet next to the restrooms at the [Big Meadows Picnic Area](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/HBK_Web_1980.png). They're all the way at the back of the park, and they can be found at coordinates [40°09'06.6"N 83°02'30.2"W](https://www.google.com/maps/place/40%C2%B009'06.6%22N+83%C2%B002'30.2%22W/@40.151828,-83.0423587,214m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m10!1m5!3m4!2zNDDCsDA5JzA4LjAiTiA4M8KwMDEnNDUuMSJX!8m2!3d40.1522222!4d-83.0291944!3m3!8m2!3d40.151827!4d-83.041715?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTIwNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) (near the playground and the zip line). We'll hike about 5 miles at [Highbanks Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/highbanks/) on the Dripping Rock and Overlook Trails. Afterward, we'll head over to [Olentangy River Brewing](https://www.olentangybrew.com/) for drinks, coffee, or food (their Sunday [food truck](https://www.olentangybrew.com/eventsandfood) is Venezuelan and always gets good reviews). The actual address of the brewery is [303 Green Meadows Dr S, 43035](https://www.google.com/maps/place/303+Green+Meadows+Dr+S,+Lewis+Center,+OH+43035/@40.1551938,-83.0144045,17.25z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x8838f395cef06c97:0xe407de61b3e30069!8m2!3d40.1551765!4d-83.0124352!16s%2Fg%2F11c26jc7j9?entry=ttu). If you can't make the hike, we should be there by noon. **How to find our starting point in Big Meadows:** If you are new to Highbanks, the Big Meadows picnic area is 1.5 miles into the park just after you turn into the park off of U.S. Route 23. That is, after you enter the park, drive a mile and a half into the park. You will come to a crosswalk with a yield sign in the middle of it (this is not to be confused with the first such crosswalk you come to just in front of the Nature Center, which you arrive at maybe a quarter of a mile into the park). Just after this second crosswalk, make a left. Then make another almost immediate left into the parking lot on your left. There you will see the jungle gym and the kiddie zip line to your left. I will be just in front of the restrooms just a bit further down from the jungle gym and picnic shelter; the restroom building will also be on your left.

Join us for a flat 2.6 mile hike along the Alum Creek Trail from the rear parking lot of the Easton Hilton Garden Inn to the Strawberry Farms Park and back. This scenic trail along Alum Creek is a gem. Come and hike it with us!
