Bukit Tabur; Climbing and Hiking

BktTabur227
Here I am sharing some other photos of Bukit Tabur again,
Because, it was my very beautiful hiking trip there,
And the weather of me went up there was really good,
We'll let the pictures speak for themselves.


BktTabur237 BktTabur232
Hiking Malaysia's longest rock ridge is definitely a challenging part of life.
9 of us took the challenge,
Only 4 guys, but 5 girls.

BktTabur225
It was real beautiful place to relax under the clear blue sky.

BktTabur221
But I did not means it isn't risky up there.

BktTabur234
Just don't think of whatever negative facts.

BktTabur231
Instead, just do it!


BktTabur208

BktTabur207
My favorite part of hiking this hill is the wild jungle path,
All the way before we reach the first peak.


BktTabur223
Sit down amongst the greens,
Watching panoramic natural scenery,
To catch songbirds flickering nearby,
And eagles cruising the currents on the air.

Enjoying, certainly enjoy.
But...
Keep alert and make sure you make a safe footing on then ledges.
Then..
You could enjoy the one-of-a-kind hiking experience.

Bukit Tabur; Good Morning Jungle



BktTabur809
On the 18th January 2009,
It was my second visit to the Bukit Tabur,
And this time, I had a totally different experience from my previous visit.
Firstly, I came with more friends,
Secondly, I saw a completely different view of this hill.

BktTabur823
Our time of meeting was 7am morning,
Sounds like it was a plan,
Sounds like a damn 'Rush-minute' plan.

BktTabur802
Well, the plan was actually planned 5hours before.
It was really a risky and sleepy hiking trip,
However, it was worthy every step we hiked on.
You will know why as you read on.

BktTabur806
Without doubt,
This is absolutely a breathtaking site for life relaxation,
And for getting far far away from the busy hectic life down there.

BktTabur808
Over view the whole city of KL,
Instead of smell the polluted air and sniffing carbon monoxide,
Here, all I could hear was just 'Jungle'
And smells so 'Nature'.

BktTabur801
It was a beautiful morning,
Where it was just the right time to say "Hello" to the Sun.
Not 100% getting into the wild yet,
But was more than enough for people like me.

BktTabur813
Chilling on top of the hill viewing the spectacular landscape of the Klang Gate Dam,
Sunny and Windy, Warm and breezy;
Which we gave that as an excuse to rest there forever.

BktTabur803

BktTabur810
Reaching not the last peak but on the way to the second peak,
Not because we were tired or exhausted,
We decided to turn back down due to some time delayed,
And there was a quite serious accident occurred in front.

BktTabur811
Anyway, no one felt bad or disappointed about not reaching the top,
It was a satisfactory hiking trip, too.

BktTabur818
Everybody thinks it was a great experience exploring this hill...


BktTabur820
So, Bukit Tabur... ...
We are definitely coming back again.



Stay tune for more pictures coming up soon...

It's not about just skating sometimes,
It's also enjoyment to more places and traveling.
I just simply love this video,
I feel the freedom that I actually needed.

Bukit Tabur; Rainy n Misty

Bkt-Tabur011
29th December 2008,
This is where I was,
I went to Bukit Tabur to get myself away from the city,
Far away from work, I just wanted to breathe with empty mind,
Thinking of nothing but to reach to the peak of this hill.


Bkt-Tabur010

Bkt-Tabur006
It was raining when we arrived the hillside, 7am.
We were 50/50 to decide whether to go for it or not,
Well, we decided to take a special opportunity of this rainy trip up.
Wet, slippery, cold and misty...
Definitely adventurous than normal.


Bkt-Tabur016



Bkt-Tabur012
Bukit Tabur has 4 tip-peaks, the furthest one consider the end of a hiking trip.
The trip went harder as we moved from one peak to another,
The challenge was seriously out of my expectation,
It really wasn't as easy as I thought.


Bkt-Tabur015
It isn't just as simple as jungle trekking,
But many vertical rocks to climb as well.
With no strings attached, it was very very challenging.
Yet DANGEROUS too,
We saw a shocking accident fall right in front of our eyes,
That girl was saved by just a single tree blocking her from going into nowhere.

Bkt-Tabur008
On our way up,
My brother told me that there is one special dog of this hill,
It used to followed many hikers up and down here,
I was shocked to hear about a dog, so I named it "Hero".


We met hero when we were about to hit our second peak.
Hero followed us all the way till the second peak,
What is more shocking was that Hero moved faster than us.


Bkt-Tabur019


We finally reached the final peak,
But that doesn't mean you could catch a spectacular view from there.
Bukit Tabur is famous for the Gombak Forest Reserve and Klang Gates Dam are just beside the hill,
Few peaks will offer a great view of the dam,
We chose a misty day to climb, so I did not have any picture of both the Forest and Dam.

Bkt-Tabur028

Bkt-Tabur029
Not much scenery to see at the last peak,
All I got were spider webs with water droplets, and some trees views.
We just saw hundreds of beautiful spider webs when we were near the peak.
They made us feel a weird kind of nervous too, because that means there are lots of jungle spiders.
Haha! It was beautiful anyway.


Bkt-Tabur018

Bkt-Tabur034

It was going back time,
We used another jungle path to go back down instead of going backtrack.

Bkt-Tabur037

Bkt-Tabur038

Totally jungle trekking,
With minimum vision of path.
It was really nice to feel the contact with various plants,
But you got to be careful of those hungry leeches!!!

Bkt-Tabur024
Special THANKS to Benjamin for being such a good instructor.
He is a professional climber.
Without him guiding us the right method of climbing,
Our trip wouldn't be as good and smooth.


Afterall...
It was an extreme and most meaningful trip for my holiday,

Here are more pictures...
