Hiking : Gunung Rajah (1685m/5526ft) via Kuala Kubu Bharu

-8 January 2017-



1.00 am

With sleepy eyes, I drove to Kg Pertak, Kuala Kubu Bharu from KL after picking up my friends from TBS and Ampang. I had pack sardine sandwiches and 'Sambal bilis kering+nasi putih' for our meal at peak of Rajah. At Kg Pertak, we meet up with another 5 group members, making a total of 8 line up (4 man and 4 woman). 

4.30 am (Ascending-BMW)

We start ascending. Entrance should be at a bridge. After the bridge, the trek diverge into two: left to G. Rajah; right to Bukit Kutu. The trek was not so difficult until we reached camp BMW. There is waterpoint at BMW and most hikers spend the night there before start climbing the next day. Had a chit chat with one of the hiker that spends the night there, he told us the trek after BMW is not something you can be play with. The trek start to be difficult soon as we left BMW. 

6.45(Arrived camp Botol)

We had our Subuh Prayer here and continue our journey around 7.00 am.

8.00 am (Arrived camp Renoma)

I started to get exhausted but I guess my will (at this time only) was too strong that I can still let my feet to do all the works. Plus, my friend's "advice" (He told me that he'll let me eat and rest at RnR camp that was not farther apart from where we stand). Ugh! Shouldnt believe in him. My walk start to get very slow (Poor my feet T.T)

9.00 am (Arrived camp RnR)

Guess who is the happiest person once we reached camp RnR? (Me, of course). On our way from Renoma, I almost give up but was pushed by my friend. Nak tercabut lutut dah ni! (tsk.tsk). WE had breakfast and had some milo. RnR is the last checkpoint/camp before you reached the summit. 

1.30 pm (I'm on top of the world)

Me crying!! At last, I made it to the top. Hooray, Me! I almost give up. I sleep in the middle of trek. I don't get enough sleep last night, so i almost deprived of energy. Mental breakdown, pewai semua ado. Thanks to everyone, I made it!

Me sleeping like I'm on the best bed of the world
3.00 pm: Descend
6.00 pm: Arrived RnR
6.30 pm: Arrived Renoma
7.30 pm: Arrived Botol
8.00 pm: Continue to BMW
1.30 am: Finally, we get out of the woods! (Alhamdulillah)

Note: wonder why we took so much time to get out? Read below 👇


Worth experience:
1. 'Something' play games with us on our way to descend. We got lost after BMW. After the intersection between Lata Medang and Lata Makau, we went on the right track. Unfortunately, after the small gate, we lost. There were bushes. We were exhausted. We keep on the same track again and again. Then, our leader ask one of us to "Azan" . we rest for 20 minutes and start again. Thank God, there were no more bushes and we were on the right track all along.
2. What happen during the journey: One of us saw fireballs, I heard something calling for my friend, one saw an old woman hand just below my friend's bag showing wrong path.

Lesson: Things like this happen because we are not the only creature in the world. Pray and pray and pray, He (The Almighty) will guide and help us.
