March 17, Sunday
14:57 : After had nearly one hour rest, the journey must go on. As what i heard from Abg Juki, the worst of he had with is reached at Kem Botak nearly mid night if am not mistaken. Normally to reach at that camp, 7pm to 9pm is normal.
At this mossy forest, please follow your guide steps or the person in front of you. Trust me guys. Also please step on the way provided by previous hikers.
up and for down is waiting little later guys
15:31 : At this rest point there is source of water. So, please reload your water, because this the last water point before we reach Kem Botak. Also you will notice an alert to be extra carefull of the snake “ular kapak”. As what Abg Juki said, this is the place of that kind of snake. After this point i had a chance to see dark greenish centipede (lipan bara), ular butang baju (red and blue snake) and burung perintis gunung.
16:12 : After we had enough rest, for further up waiting for us. Pasang kuda kuda bagi kuat guys.
Periuk Kera, its big enough?
using your hands and legs synchronizly to save your energy and to make less impact on your important muscles.
come on Kak Wati, not far now for Bonsai. Up Up Up…..
16:50 : Bonsai, about 1700m above sea level.
Yehaaa……. happy to see bright sun at Bonsai. Its sort of give a light and cheer up us. At least, we are out of those trees higher than us to be exact.
Yang hat belakang tu adalah puncak Gunung Tahan ye, bukan hat depan. Dan saksikanlah aksi koya dan poyo geng kami yang memang pantang dok depan lens….ha ha
we love Tahan
Thanks to Allah, with His bless we are so lucky to see another peaks at Bonsai. Because as mentioned by our guide, normally at this place surrounding by clouds.
17:52 : We are hiking up again.
18:04 : Kem Botak, 1705m above sea level.
Camp site if you wish to overnight in here. But Kem Botak the most preferable because the source of water and gonna be near to the peak of Mount Tahan.
lovely shape of this plants. Geng paku-pakis gamaknye ye!!!
that y i do love outdoor activities ….
18:17 : Can see peak of Mount Tahan next to my left elbow. That that right peak of of Mount Tahan as mentioned by Abg Juki. At this place clearly you can see white paths to the next camp site. Keep positive and move on guys. We nearly there already. No wonder we need mentally and physically strong to cope those hurdles until we reach at the peak. Also at this place, clearly can hear waterfall. By looking at the surrounding area, its really far from us. Tho its sounds really near.
18:44 : Continue our mission, the only guide in front of us and we are close to each others. Clearly we can see our friends. It will be sunset soon, means gonna dark sooner. It’s time for us to stop our daily life activities and another creatures of Allah will take their role play in the dark. Hope you get what am trying to say. By the way, we have good intention to see the power of Allah, in sha Allah everything will be running smoothly.
Kak Wati, dahaga ayaq bagi taw saya ok….saya ada ayaq lagi ni….ayaq kat lopak lopak air sini x selamat untuk di minum ok. Sharing stuffs and caring of our team members is a must to be a good teamwork. If everybody of us without difficulties, that means we will reach our target faster and without problems.
follows your guide paths exactly, that how you will learn their skills
Bonsai blooming season.
be careful of this kind of trap, walking on edges to be safe.
18:57 : Did you realized the colors of those tree? Its about time of sunset, so that the normal colors of it. On the top of mountain and above clouds it looks SubhanAllah.
What i can say only these three words Subhanallah, Allhamdulillah & Allahhuakbar. We are such fortunate group to have those lovely views espacially this sunset. Honestly i didn't expect to have it, as what i found from internet source, most of them and i can say all of them telling about sunrise. No one mentioned about sunset.
what i realized here, most of us are tired and really tired. Because of the superb and lovely sunset, the tiredness is gone because of it.
19:19 : The sun off
we are heading further up for Kem Botak, have to move faster bofore totally in darkness and coldest night.
19:28 : but am keeping looking at my back to see the colors changing
20:00 : Finally we reached Kem Botak, its already dark and getting colder. At 1st place am thinking to have good and nice shower (honestly i can smell by lovely body scent..lols), but after we done for our tents and other stuffs, honestly, its getting more colder compared when we just reached here. I think because we are idle from hiking movements for a while. So with wet towel (wet because i had bath at Kem Kor, its hardly to get dry with condition of the height of clouds) not wet tissue, its prohibited by Taman Negara already. I had “shower” with by towel. Thanks to Rosya for nice smell “bedak”, it’s make my night to fell like am having good shower.
22:00 : Time for our dinner. Makan bukan main, nasik beriani gam & nasik goreng kampung, amek kaw!!! Also there is Sambal Hitam….. yummy…nasik kosong pun boleh habis kalau dengan sambal hitam tu.
So this is the end of stories between Kem Kor to Kem Botak (Part 2 & 3). Maybe there will be 2 or 3 more parts until i can closed my story to the peak of Mount Tahan.
