Hiking @ Gasing Hill

SP disappear .. no update in his blog for few days..
I am back now...
just that I thought of giving the "internet" a break during this Raya holiday...

I didn't go anywhere this week or balik kampung (Ipoh) for the Raya holiday..
I just stay & relax in my house....
as it is 7th month in chinese calendar and it is better to just stay at home...
Parents were here during this Raya break but this time they stay at my sis place.. 

Last Saturday me and my wife went to Gasing Hill for hiking...
It was our first experience .....and it turns out tougher from our expectation..
I always love outdoor adventure since I was a kid... 
It was tough for my wife as she is not into those hiking adventure.. climbing up hills, jungle trekking..





When we went in, we heard a woman said " I saw a big snake"
Immediately my wife was panicked.. she afraid of snakes...

It was a steep mountain hiking and make sure you have enough of stamina to go for it..
A lot of mountain climbing .... 
and it is good to bring a walking stick along..
It will be much easier when you go up steep hills... and walk through the jungle..

TM advise me to be careful that there are a lot of robbers who take your wallet and hand phone..
Hmm I think it is better to go in a big group....

      lina, you can choose to go short cut or tar road. Many hikers go the short cut way. Nice!

    Before I climbed Mount Kinabalu 2 years ago, I had to practice walking up Bukit Gasing many times weekly! That was besides walking up 22 floors of condo stairs. mount Kinabalu is a terror place to hike up with huge steps to make.

    My wife is always scared of the wild monkeys who often attacked or chased hikers! So my wife brings a red umbrella to protect herself. When monkey sees an umbrella opened up suddenly like an alien, it will run up to the trees. They are hungry monkeys, no food and some hikers smell like bak kua!!

      Good idea to bring umbrella. I scared of monkeys too. Taiping has lots of monkeys came out from Taiping zoo. I scared when seeing monkeys showing me the teeth.

      HOT MAMA, if you don't have umbrella, just lift up your skirt at the monkey! He will die laughing and roll down the hill.

    Some aunties are kind, they brought food and left them near the monkeys to feed the baby monkeys. That is charity too. You can do it too.

      but sometimes it's not good feeding wild animals.. this will make them dependent on the human and they won't go and hunt for food themselves, eventually that opposes their gifted skill to survive in the wild..

      Gadis Petai you are so pandai as usual. The jungles have been raped and the poor animals like monkeys and squirrels keep on multiply with no food in the jungle!!!! Nowadays you see squirrels hopping into homes so freely and welcomed!!! One monyet appear in the garden, the owner will throw stones!!!

    4. Twilight ManAugust 23, 2012 at 12:31 PM

      Gadis Lina, I think we should plant betik and petai trees inside the jungle for monkeys and squirrels to eat. Then ask Yan and SP make pies and burgers to feed the old monkeys!

    When I walked up Bukit Gasing with friends, they often got lost and panicked. Sometimes jungle spirits will confuse the hikers till they lost their sense of directions.

      Go in groups also, if jungle spirit want to take you (maybe because you are too loud and uncouth) then you still can get lost too you know.

      Must be wary of how you behave so as not to disturb other occupants of the jungle.

      My good friend went to Kinabalu Park with his kids to walk. He scolded some vulgar words and spat onto the ground!!! Not knowing, the spirit followed him back to Kuching and strangled him for many nights until he turned GILA!!!!

    The best time to hike at Gasing is after heavy rain! It will be so muddy and wet! You will fall down many times besides getting your shoes stucked in the mud. All the monkeys on the trees will laugh at you and scream Sohaiii SP!

    The one at the bottom left was definitely one of my favorite trails. It's not the trail leading to the tower, is it? It's glad to know that Gasing Hill has never changed even for one bit.

    Yikes! I didn't even know that there were robbers lurking there. The cases I've heard were at Bukit Kiara instead. We've had scary encounters with snakes before. The last one was with a brown cobra walking with us.
