SEA tallest peak
20th tallest mountain in the world
In order to reach the peak, there are two routes to choose from ie Timpohon route and Mesilau route..Mesilau route is longer whereas Timpohon route has lotsssssss of stairssss...those that like to climb stairs can choose this route..^^ trust me..you will HATE stairs after this..
Well..we chose Timpohon route (of coz..not because we like stairs that much..:P)
us at the Timpohon gate where we started our climb
Toilet, rest area and water point are available at roughly around every 1km. However, the water available there are untreated water which directly come from the mountain. Bringing sufficient water that can last till you reach Laban Rata (the place where you going to stay is highly recommended)
duh..it means you have to carry extra weight at your back..of coz..you can always hire a potter to help you carry your beg which a lot of people did that (it cost RM8 per kg)..so it will cost around RM50 for me..if i hire the potter..(of coz NONE of us did that)
