To me, it's nice to do jungle trekking inside the tranquil mossy mountain forest in Cameron Highlands - the high altitude and cool air really make exploration interesting and fun; Believe me, you won't really sweat much.. ;) And the best thing is - very minimal insect bites .... and no mosquitoes !!!
We started our short jungle trekking journey in one of the jungle trail in Mt Brinchang.
I can't remember whether it rained or not earlier on in the day or the night before.. There's thick, soft chocolate slush in the ground which left behind "deep" footprint marks on the ground when we stepped our feet on it.. (can see the footprint marks from the photo above). Our guide told us those are not muds. Well, it's soft but not slippery. Stained my sport shoes :(
There are white stones on the way which indicates boundaries between Pahang and Perak (as in the photo above).
Luckily my stamina is still okie.. Didn't feel "chuan" or SOB (shortness of breath) during the jungle trekking. (Although I didn't exercise much lately. Must start back my exercise programme again)
There are green coloured moss on the tree (covered up the tree trunks as well as the branches) and clumps hanging down in small bundle :) Even the rock is covered with moss and lichen as well. Amazing scenery of the flora and fauna.
I would say it's a wonderful experience ;)

I've only been to cameron highlands once. And all I did was the very typical visitors kind of seeing.
Ah~ would really love to do a trekking there. Hey, in fact I just realised I have never did any hiking in Peninsular. o_O

Fish fish,

U can always come back here for jungle trekking in the future ;)
Cynthia,
U r cool :) I still remember those days ~ sleeping inside the tent when we went camping inside the jungle.. Really cold, man ~ in the middle of the night..
And not forgetting the mosquito bites, leeches, insects etc etc.... But it's fun loh...
Icey,
U also like jungle trekking or hiking meh? :)
personally ... its the bush walking thing that I like ... 1 day trip no tent involved.
Could never get into the sleep on rocks is good for your health program.
izchan,
to me, 1 day trip only is a bit tiring loh.. and summore, need to rush back before it get darks...
Nice photo.
Interesting trails.
hawks,
thanks :)
Yeah.. Nice and interesting trails :)
Humblewarrior,
Thanks :)
Cameron Highlands nowadays is not as cooling as those days.. cos of the ongoing construction. It do rain on and off, but thank God during my stay there, it didn't rain ;) Misty on and off..
If i'm not mistaken, Mt. Brinchang is where they shot some scenes for the movie Puteri Gunung Ledang. Hehehe.. I recognized some of the terrains there. Hehehe...
I would certainly love to go hiking again, which reminds me that i am certainly going to climb Mt. Singai in Bau again :)
chris,
I didn't watch the movie Puteri G Ledang.. ;)
Sad to say that even though I'm Swakian, I haven't visit most of the places in Sarawak yet.. cos the place is so huge !!!
Yes.. Brinchang is where they took most of the scenary shots of the show Puteri Gunung Ledang. Which is sad really cuz it's almost an insult to Gunung Ledang! But you'd find a variety of fauna in Brinchang you wouldn't normally see in Gunung Ledang though. That trail really makes me miss Irau.. I WANNA GO HIKING!!! *SOB SOB*
izso,
go hiking loh one of these days... u have so many great companions for hiking ;)
glutton rabbit,
