This route is supposed to be the easiest way up, and can be done in four days, which is two days up and two days down. The trek starts from an old abandoned logging road , which is only accessible by 4wd drive vehicles. First day. The first day will usually begin with the 4wd ride from the Tanjung Rambutan town to the logging trek ,then trekking to a small waterfall, which is usually the first campsite. Second day
On the second day, the trek continues through the logging road
Third and fourth day
The trek down is by the same
route, probably stopping overnight at the same campsites. This route is much more difficult compared to the Tanjung Rambutan route because even though shorter, the climb is more vertical, and there are parts where fixed ropes needs to be used ,as well as scrambling on all fours. The trek starts from the Ulu Kinta intake , which is also a recreation park. Along the road to the Ulu Kinta intake, there is the commando 69 camp, a convenient place to leave your name and expected date out, just incase something goes wrong. However it is best that a formal letter is sent to the Tanjung Rambutan police station as well as the commando 69 camp at least 3 months before the expedition date. First day
From the intake it is a 1 - 1.5 hrs walk to the orang asli village. The Second day.
The way down is usually the way up in reverse, spending the night at the same campsites.
This trek is one of the toughest treks in
Peninsular Malaysia, takes about 6 days one
