We decided to start the climbing a little bit late then usual ... Oleh kerana kami masih belum tahu bagaimana trek yang harus kami tempuhi (except for the pics & info from internet) di Bkt. Tabur so better for us to play safe ... Kami memilih untuk mendaki setelah matahari sedia memancar so we can see the trek ... tapi tak la lewat sangat ... Around 7.30 a.m we already start our climb ...

Both me & iza are from Bangi while Ajim, Shah Alam ... So kiteorang meet up kat Petronas Ampang before ke Bukit Tabur ... Dari pembacaan di internet, ada 2 trek mendaki Bkt.Tabur ... But as ini adalah our 1st time dealing with Bkt.Tabur .. So kami pilih untuk mendaki di trek yang mudah iaitu dari Puncak Niaga ... Luckily as kami sampai di starting point kami jumpe Kak Lin yang mana claimed to live nearby and had several time naik ke Bkt.Tabur ... And she confirmed that we headed right way.

Bersama kami ada lagi 4 orang climber yang start mendaki bersama, which is Kak Lin & her friend, and sepasang suami isteri also from nearby neighborhood ... So we start our step confidently ... Apa ada hal ... Trek dah betul ... And we got our back support by senior climber ... But later then we split out ...

Uncle's weekend exercise.

Others climbers we meet on the way

Disebabkan aku ni tak suka nak menunggu, kalau boleh pijak je tanah terus nak sampai puncak hahaha (better not to call hiking then haha) ... So decide to split out ... As Kak Lin also ask for us not to wait for them .. takpe, depa expertise dah biasa naik turun .. Kami ni ha yang 1st timer ... So carry on with the mission la ...

Early half an hour, the trek was not difficult at all ... either way, the route was clear .. just ikut je jalan yang ada & a minor climb ... But, pastikan always look for hikers marks, make sure route korang betul sebab sometimes akan ada 2 route untuk korang pilih... The trek will be up & down ...

Down the trek

Kami berhenti at 1st stop to snap a picture ... tapi still it's halfway to puncak .... As the floor surface changed rocky the thrill begin ... For us actually, trek berbatu ni la yang menambahkan lagi thrill di Bukit Tabur, kombinasi hiking & climbing ... Kecuraman trek batu ni meningkat selaras dengan ketinggian.

Bukit Tabur offer 5 limestone summit dengan kecuraman 90 darjah untuk ditawan ... Yupp 90 degrees ... Thankful sebab Bkt.Tabur antara hiker's hills di Selangor so ada pihak yang merasakan bertanggungjawab memudahkan misi hikers menawan Bkt.Tabur dengan membantu menyediakan kemudahan pendakian seperti tali & papan tanda peringatan ... Credits for them ...

Kami sampai ke puncak pertama Bkt Tabur around 9 am ... But still got 4 to go on ... And along with us that day what other group of chinese hikers around 10 - 15 pupils ... so keadaan kat peak agak sesak ... Kami terpaksa menunggu giliran untuk memanjat ...

Entirely it take us 2 & half hours to conquer the whole Bkt.Tabur ... Ok la for the 1st hike there ....

dan kami betul-betul enjoy the trek offered terutamanya part nak conquer the peaks ... Againts the

limestone was fun & thrill, turun naik 90 degrees batu kapur, awesome!! ... Puas bila dapat sampai ke

last peak ... So until next time trip guys
