Sign-ups *are only confirmed after contacting us and joining the WA group! \**** Bukit Madei (518m) is a relatively new hike in Malaysia, KL (Gombak) with nice views over KL and perhaps on a clear day, Genting! It isn't a super technical or steep hike, with a similar terrain to Payung/Senaling/Broga. We might pass by the waterfall so feel free to jump in for a soak if you wish (just need to find a way to change after that!) The aim of this trip is to get a nice breakfast, get the body moving, breathe in fresh air and enjoy the view! We'll start hiking early to hopefully have good and cooling weather and aim to finish around lunch. The hike takes around 6-7h! After which, depending on the time, we'll descent and head to wash-up, and find a place to eat before heading back to Singapore. The location will be decided based on time/traffic conditions! We will likely avoid central KL altogether due to traffic. If interested, do **whatsapp +65 8884 2635**. A whatsapp group will be set up for further information and coordination. A minimum of **12 pax** is needed for this trip to go ahead. Your place is only confirmed once payment is made. **Who is this for?** => Wish to hike and clock some distance and duration, but not have something too steep and strenuous (like Ophir) => Enjoy an easy pace hike and work up a sweat in the morning => Willing to travel abit further to explore hikes near KL because you've done the other hikes nearby ***Estimate Itinerary*** \*11.00pm\*\*\*(Timing to be confirmed in the whatsapp group)\*\*\* – Meet Marsiling MRT, depart for Bukit Madei 4.30am – Stop by for breakfast/takeaway 6.00am – Start hike 9.30am – Summit and enjoy the view 1.00pm- Head back down, head to a shower place 1.30pm- Lunch, if time permits, R&R somewhere then back to Singapore 10.00pm++: Back to Singapore **Itinerary subjected to changes, depending on speed/ actual conditions / decision by the trek leader** **Hike Details:** Distance: \~11km Elevation Gain: \~750m Duration: 6-7h **Price: $125 per person** \*\*Good views dependent on weather!

**Our Meetup is off to another hiking adventure! Mt Kilimanjaro, as the tallest mountain in Africa, is included in the 7 Summits of the world.** **It is a bucket-list item for all hard-core hikers and mountain lovers.** We did this trek with Meetup in the summer of 2024 and it was a true experience of a lifetime (see photos below) Let's get to some numbers. It is 5,895m/19,340ft BUT . . . our starting elevation for the trek is 3795m/12541ft As such elevation gain is 2100m/6799ft To compare Everest Base Camp trek, is about 2754m/9035ft elevation change. And Mt Whitney is about 1828m/6000ft elevation change. The key to being able to succeed in this endeavor lays in the route and the support system. We are taking the Lemosho Route via the Northern Circuit. The Northern Circuit route is the longest and newest of the seven established Kilimanjaro routes. It's one of the best routes because it has the best acclimatization profile. This results in one of the highest summit success rates. Add to that stunning views, and comparatively relaxed pace. It is also much less crowded than the other Kilimanjaro routes. As far as our support system: We will be accompanied by experienced guides, porters and cooks. They are certified, ensuring our safety and comfort. Porters will carry our gear. We will have a high ratio of guides to hikers. Our guides will go our pace and support each and everyone of us, regardless of fitness level and pace. In other words...you go your own speed and we all get there safe. More about our trek/trip. As with all our international trips, we picked the best season/time of year to go for weather and wildlife. Lemosho and Northern Circuit is a scenically spectacular and varied route. At the lower elevations it has an abundance of wildlife such as elephant, buffalo, eland and lion which come over to forage during dry season. **Each of our trips is personally crafted to offer the best places and best use of time.** *But I don't have the needed gear?!* You don't need much more than the standard trekker's equipment. We will provide you with a list of what is already included and what can be rented there. *Does this include food?* All meals on the trek potion are included and a cook travels with us! *What is lodging like?* We are sleeping in new and comfortable tents (carried during the day by porters) *I am new at this.* That's OK. We do plenty of prep Zooms before we depart. And in California we have a number of local outdoor day or weekend outings you can test out with us. *How dangerous is this? What if I get sick or hurt?* We will be walking on an established, well used trail the entire time. **Our trip INCLUDES emergency insurance.** We are also Certified Wilderness First Responders and our guides are members of (AMREF) Flying Doctor. **Plain and simple, safety is our primary goal.** *How much does this cost?* **Kilimanjaro Mountain Trek $3950 per person, double occupancy. Land only (airfare not included). Solo supplement $600** Trip Cost includes: \- 9 nights accommodation \- 3 meals everyday on the trek \- All Fees & Entrances and Taxes \- Camping equipment such as tents\, tables\, chairs\. \- Lead Guide\, Assistant Guides\, Porters and Cook *RSVP to this event shows your interest, but does not hold your space.* ***The only way to secure your spot for this trip is a $300 deposit:*** ***[CLICK HERE FOR SECURE DEPOSIT LINK](https://www.paypal.com/instantcommerce/checkout/8P9NUAVQM8UEN)*** *Deposit is refundable up to 90 days before the departure (less PayPal fees).* *IF you need an airfare quote,* [Click here to message Anna](https://secure.meetup.com/messages/?new_convo=true&member_id=131297062) For more information about this or any of our other international events, fill out this form: **[INTERNATIONAL MEETUPS INFO REQUEST](https://forms.gle/cQdqYw74gAYqphXX8)** To see pictures from our Kilimanjaro adventure in 2024 [CLICK HERE](https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipPkfkUp6sEZVQ-xse1di_K19d1QVmSb5KOLeIjynRoWGv_XFLXI8wBfT61XxAHavg?key=U2tKajBuOGRiZkxBOUtTUG1GbUVRVmlDaERCeG5n) We do a monthly Q & A Zoom: Meet others attending, be social, or come and get any questions answered.

You finally find availability. You get excited. Finally. Until the total pops up. The mistake is thinking a great redemption is just about the points. It’s not. Because one of the fastest ways to ruin a great redemption… is fuel surcharges. That “amazing deal” you just found? It might come with a few hundred dollars in added fees… sometimes more. And it shows up right there in the booking process, taking the shine off what looked like a win. In this special session, JGOOT Redemption Multiplier experts Stephanie and Tom are breaking down how to find redemptions that actually deliver value… without getting dragged down by unnecessary cash costs. Because the truth is: many travelers focus only on the points required… while smarter travelers focus on the total cost of the redemption. It’s time for: **The Fuel Factor: Where Great Redemptions Go Wrong (and How to Fix It)** Stephanie and Tom will show how fuel surcharges really work, where they show up, and how to consistently avoid them so your points go further. Inside this session, you’ll learn: • What fuel surcharges are and why they exist • How to spot high-surcharge redemptions before you get to checkout • Which airlines and programs tend to add (or avoid) these fees • How to find alternative routes that cost the same points… but far less cash • Simple ways to protect your redemptions from getting quietly overpriced This isn’t about finding more flights. It’s not about using more points. It’s about making sure the redemptions you already find… are actually worth it. And once you understand the fuel factor, you’ll stop getting surprised at checkout… and start booking with confidence.
