It was quite a long time I did not have any jungle trekking since my last Gunung Kutu in June. Our mount climbing expert friend has recommended to us a new trail to Gunung Nuang . It was not the trail via Hulu Langat, the trail is somewhere near the Mc Donald at Bukit Tinggi, as what our friend said ;-) . So, 6 of us decided to venture into this trail on 16 August 2009.

As usual, we departed from Puchong at about 7am, after breakfast, we headed to our destination.

The air is so fresh in the morning with less cars on the road.

Crossing the first river.

P8162195
Isn’t this beautiful and tranquil ?

P8162197
After the first river, we have to walk about 20 minutes before seeing the jungle trail.

P8162198
I am learning how to take such a beautiful moment.

P8162201
Wow…. so many durians. Can I get them for free here ?

P8162205
Our jungle expert is leading the way.

P8162206
Sometimes we need to take a break in our life and start enjoying the little tiny yet pretty things around us.

P8162207
Moving in to jungle now.

P8162211
We have to bend down to walk across these bamboo trees.

P8162212
Be careful friend, the trail is very slippery.

P8162215
Guys are resting at the 2nd river.

P8162219
A waterfall that can be seen not far from the river.

P8162224
Looks like you guys are enjoying the nature but let’s move on, we can come back later.

P8162229
This little leech was having a great lunch. Guess who was the contributor ? None other than me…… :D

P8162230
I guess it’s the environment that make this Millipede become so huge.

P8162231
A Fungus is found.

P8162234
This is the hardest part before we can reach the summit.

P8162235
Finally, we reached the summit at about 12.30pm. But not me, I arrived 15 minutes later as my health condition was going down hill. It was tough for me as I have to walk about 3 hours but my friends said this trail is easier than the Hulu Langat trail. Well, proof that something is wrong with me. Never mind, hungry like a woof, let’s have our nasi lemak lunch first. ;)

P8162237
Not only lunch, we have our nice green tea as well.

P8162238
Scene taken after my lunch.

P8162239
Another view at the same place.

P8162241
Our friend is feeding a little cute squirrel.

P8162243
Although first time joining us but this guy is tough, he had conquered Gunung Tahan before. So, I guess this trail is peanut for him.

P8162244
Let’s have a group photo at the peak of Gunung Nuang at 1493 meter (4898 ft).

P8162247
Going down is not easy.

P8162249
Anyone can tell me what kind of plant is this ?

P8162252
About 3.00pm, our friends already there to enjoy the waterfall, but again, not me. I arrived 30 minutes later.

P8162271
Can’t describe how beautiful is this waterfall.

P8162268
Anyone dare to climb up ?

P8162256
You can have a swim at this crystal clear water here but prepare to feel the cool water.

P8162261
Water has no complains when it faces obstacles, it just moves on as it is. In life, I think we should learn from the water, accept the challenges, take courage and face them. ;)

P8162273
The strongest always stand out from others !

P8162275
Are these bird nests natural or hung by human ?

P8162276
I like this view.

P8162278
After a hard work, it’s time to reward ourselves with durians.

P8162280
Must be very delicious huh, friend ?

P8162282
We have coconut also, not bad huh ? :D

P8162284
Here is our aborigine friend who was kind enough to climb the coconut tree and opened them for us also.

P8162285
See how our “Ghost King” friend drink the coconut, then needless to say, it must be delicious. We only pay RM15 to enjoy all these great food and drinks, isn’t it cheap ?
