Be extremely careful with water and don’t mess around. It gives us life but it can also take it away within seconds. Remember, do not fool around with mother nature.

Ok guys, time for our next mission.

Briefing by our jungle expert (Pic by Thomas)

What you say if we take a group photo first ?

Ok ok, I am ready to go………. (Pic by Thomas)

Smile…….

This time…Cheers…..

Ok, let’s go. Time now is 9:12am.

Our jungle expert friend is tough

Ascending….

9:29am, we reached a water point.

Anyone wants to refill water ?

Friends are still in good condition

Red Banana in jungle ?

A very nice scene that we can’t find it in city

Ascending again….

Enjoy along the trail and you will find many beautiful plants

Black Fungus. Is this what we call Mok Yee or Wood Ear ?

You guys are so fast, please wait…..

Let’s take a short break. We still have a long way to go.

Our friends are taking their sweet time to enjoy the scene

Found another red fungus

This is really big….

I like the shape, it looks like a small umbrella

A very knowledgeable jungle expert sharing his experience with us.

Another short break

Blossom time ?

Another small white fungus

This is really steep !

One more type of fungus

Guys, this may be the last water point…please refill if you want

This filter is useful in the jungle.

We are only at 1030 meter and the time now is 10:19am

Let me check how far we still have to go…..

They named it Green Camp or “Kem Hijau”

Fruits to quench your thirst ? Better think twice

One more steep slope to conquer, after you please.

We have to walk on top of the tree roots.

11:35am, we arrive the first peak of Gunung Rajah

These two youngsters are really excellent !

I am a King of the tree now….

See the way he climbs and sits on the tree, you surely know he is the King of The Apes

Our season climber cum team leader with the 2 tough kids

A group picture at the first peak

See the peak ? That is our final destination.

We have to climb up from the bald rock there, feeling exciting ? Or scary ?

Time to descending now…….

This is certainly not a good trail…..

Time to ascending again….

Start meeting the steep slope

A tough trail to conquer…..

Keep going….

Never give up…..

We can make it…..

Say cheers…..

We are about to face the most challenging hurdle in a moment…

Here we are….this is only one part and not that tough, right ?

It’s my turn now…..

Next…..

Finally….

This is the most challenging climb. The slope is more than 80 degree, don’t play play ah

We have to be very careful….

From this point onwards, it is an uphill task all the way

All the way, friends…

We found this last water point here but have to descend to the river to refill water, which we did not do.

Enjoy the trail, you will feel better

Hi Fungus, we meet again !

When flowers grow among the trees, they look more prettier.

See, there are so many beautiful plants and flowers along the trail, just enjoy it

White represents clean and unpolluted

My final encounter of Nepenthes or Monkey Cup

At last, we reached the peak of 1,685 meter at 1:10pm, about 4 hours from our camp site.

Yes, we did it !

First Young Achiever

Second Young Achiever

Genting Highland view

We all did it !

Our friend still able to make business phone call at the summit

What is he doing ? Secret talk with someone ?

We are still able to see lovely flower here

Flowers about to blossom…..

A shoot for remembrance

Last picture before we start descending

Up and down certainly is not an easy task for these young achievers

Father is having full confidence that son can do it himself

Going down is like eating peanuts for him…..

Guys, I know to all of you, this is also like eating peanuts…..

Last hurdle for them…..

Next —> Out last day at camp site

We gathered at a point in MRR2 on 30 August 2011 morning and headed to Bentong town for our breakfast.

While waiting for friends to arrive, our chief architect was discussing an under construction project behind the petrol station.

We arrived Bentong town about 9am for our breakfast.

About 10.30am, we reached Chamang Waterfall, which was our starting point.

A very nice place to cool our body.

The altitude is 210 meter at the car park.

Okay guys, time now is 10.50am, let’s start to explore the trail.

Opss… this is certainly a very challenging trail as we have to start to ascend more than 45 degree slope from the very beginning. Hope our 2 newbies like this

Okay, we have cleared the first hurdle. Ready, get set, ……..we have our 2nd hurdle to go…… One of our newbies on the right seems a bit exhausted. Friend, we have a long way to go, this is just a beginning

Mmmm…. looks like not a very tough trail

Let us enjoy the nature…..

Mmmm….the trail is not that tough here…..

Big water pipes are built along the trail.

Our “Ghost Architect” is inspecting the burst pipe. Please send people to repair as soon as possible.

We have our “Orang Asli” children welcoming our arrival.

A good photo to understand how simple these people are living in. We should be thankful for what we are having now in the city.

We must know how to appreciate the nature that bring us such a lovely flower along our journey. Isn’t life should be like this ? Appreciate what people has done good to us while we are going through our life journey.

This beautiful butterfly is enjoying its life …. I wish I can be like it also

Our 2 newbies are ahead of me now   (Pic by Thomas)

He can even run on such a tough road….

Oppss… our friend already exhausted.

Yes, he is determined to walk until the end. Ganbatte !

11.30am, we have our first rest.

Don’t give up, we know you can do it !

Another simple house we can see along our trail.

Introducing our Macho Newbie, Mr Thomas.

At 12:10pm, our altitude now is 440 meter.

Guys, we are moving into the jungle now.

Although living in the jungle, ants are still working hard.

Bracket Fungus or Ganoderma

Let’s have a rest here. (Pic by Thomas)

Not an easy trail….

Same type of Fungus ?

Another type of fungus.

One more

Does another knows what is this ?

Nepenthes or Monkey Cup.

Another type of Fungus in green color ?

1:37pm, we reached a water point.

2:03pm, we stopped for lunch.

The altitude now is 645 meter.

A lovely scene……

Ok guys, we take a rest here and have our lunch.

At last, the team leader says we can rest…..

The son is tough as father

Arriving of our team members

Friend, be careful

The chicken rice is so delicious up here

All food are delicious when you feel hungry in the jungle

Having lunch in such a nature environment, you can’t find it in city

Listening to the flow of stream is a way to relax our body

Small durian ?

Our Ghost friend is enjoying the scenery while ascending. Such a slope is not a big deal for him as he can float when he likes 

Finally, we reached the camp site at about 4:45pm. It took us almost 6 hours to reach here. But according to our team leader, the normal trekking time to camp site here should be around 4 hours. Maybe that is for a season climber like him.

We have our first Bungalow built by Thomas

Follow by our Mr Kwan’s Bungalow

Next, we have our long house built for 5 people

And 2nd long house belongs to 4 strong men

Our friends can’t wait to enjoy into cozy water

What ? You want me to zoom in ? Ok Ok

Here you are

Ok, you are in also

Mmmm….looks like our ghost king also feel tiring

Hi Tea time…..

Our Chief Chef is preparing dinner for us. (Pic by Thomas)

Next —> Conquering Summit

6.55am, having our last breakfast at this home stay.
.

The only restaurant in Mulu Park here. About food, if you don’t comapre with the city, should be able to fill your stomach
.

Since our flight only departs at 11.15am, we prefer to visit Mulu Park for the last time.
.

What is this place ? Let’s find out.
.

Now I see, Wild Mulu cafe.
.

In case you want to have a more comfortable stay, consider this but make sure you book early. The Marathon Hikers told us they booked here one year in advance. Sounds unbelievable ? You find out yourself
.

Inside the Wild Mulu Cafe, there is a Discovery Centre.
.

Nice place to chit chat and relax.
.

What a lucky day for us again !
.

Hi Cameleon. Good Morning.
.

Another new building is coming up.
.

Time to go now……
.

Tourists are on their way to visit Clear Water Cave.
.

I like this, a house among the trees. A tranquility environment.
.

Reminds me of my old wooden house where I was born ……
.

Hope this will be the same when we return.
.

Gonna miss this and our flying friends ?
.

9.21am, waiting for our transport at the only restaurant to airport.
.

My honor to have a photo with this fittest lady !
.

Just in case you want to release muscle pain while in the jungle for long distance hike. Take this. One tablet at night, you can feel the effect tomorrow morning.
.

11.21am, bording time now. Don’t expect flight to arrive punctual
.

The mountains are so beautiful !

Each time when I leave a beautiful natural place, it always reminds me of this song ……… When Will I See You Again.
Surely, I will miss you, Mount Mulu.

Top view of Mulu Park.
.

Feel sad to see this …….
.

All are caused by the greed of human beings.

Please help to save our earth !

The earth is sick now, its temperature has been increasing, the weather has changed, that’s why we have so many natural disasters now.

Let’s do our part to protect the earth so that our children can have a place to live in future.
