HIKING IN GUNUNG NUANG- highest mountain in Selangor ( the most extreme thing i ever done in 2013/ maybe in my life)

So currently, I get to know a friend from the girl that has been quite close to me. So, she come up with the idea that to go for a hike in Gunung Nuang, because to train up their stamina for their next year Mount KK hiking. So, I have agree and give it a try together with them as I'm quite like outdoor activity also.

I woke up at 4am in the morning to prepare my breakfast and everything because I know its gonna be like 12hours in the mountain without toilet, food and everything! its gonna be trees, river, animals and blah blah blah....so I leave my house around 445am, and great, first move, and i hit my dam car on another double parked car...thats a great luck isnt it?
There you go, I have been protecting this dam car for almost 3 years, and this happen! GAH!
After fetching all of them, with GPS on and we start our journey to meet the group of people who created this meetup for the hiking. We turned into wrong area as I was confused by the GPS and it add on more pressure on me because if we dont reach on time, the group gonna leave and start their hiking. So i drive faster and luckily we just late for 5 minutes and the group is there discussing and waiting for people who havent arrive. We get our name card once we arrived and all of us start moving to the foothill and park out car there. Everyone get their headlamp ready and the journey is going to start!
Tada! cute right? lol
Me, suyan & jaycee
So, we start our journey with a slightly sloppy hill where it is quite tough for people who doesnt really exercise much! Then jaycee, due to her leg injury, she was left far behind, so only me and suyan walk up together only. after an hour and half, we come to a place call LULU the river LOL and we have to cross come river to continue our journey.

I was quite enjoying because of the weather and of course, walking and spending time with her is really fun *shy*. Along the road, there is no toilet and no food store. I have only settle off my pee pee some where on the plant! And luckily we have brought some food that give us energy!

After few kilometers of hike, we reach Kem Pacat, where hikers can stop and rest for awhile before going up to the peak of Nuang. There are lot of bees flying around, and some bees landed on Suyen's hand and her look is so afraid, I can only keep shoo-ing the bees away so that she wont get sting by the bees.



















This is what we call extreme challenge after the Kem Pacat, the road is rocky and dangerous, and also slippery without a good hiking shoes. Both of us taking pic like we are lying down on the ground and take the pic because it is too steep, The feeling for me is like we are doing rock climbing without any safety rope and we have to risk ourself to go up to the peak. The only way is to help each other when going up and also going down. Another 1 and half hour of climbing up after kem pacat, we reached a lower peak called puncak pengasih!
In order to reach the real peak of Nuang, from here we need another 1.5 hour. Due to time constraint, we decided to go back down as weather is getting dark and it look like its gonna rain!

So we try to move as fast as we could to go down, but unfortunately, God really decided to splash some water on us and treat us some teh tarik in the mountain T_T
Look at her, she looks cute in raincoat isnt it?

This is our way back to the bottom, shoes get into all the holes and get dirty, fell down several times and "mud skating" for few times.

"TEH(siok yen) tarik" waterfall LOL
While walking down, i can see that suyen condition is not good, her face is pale and im getting very worried as well. My mind keep thinking what is the fastest way to get down to the hill, should i piggyback her or just carry her like how i carry weight in gym. I tried to talk to her, ask her to eat some food, she looks better so we try to walk slightly faster (actually cant be fast, our foot is like sotong that soft and tired!)

We get lost in the lulu river for maybe 10minutes because there is no sign board to show us which way to back to the starting point, we try to relax and look around and finally we see people and we feel relieve that we get to the right way. After 11hours of 24km hiking, it is really really really struggling when coming down from the top of the hill, and i could say it is the best experience i ever had!
double clap clap clap for her because she can do it together with me in her condition like that!


The skin colour get different because of the foot get soak in the shoe with wet socks for 11hours!

I would definitely try another time to reach the peak! I heard that this mountain is tougher than mount KK! I feel proud of myself as well! Wee!!!
