Two weeks ago I went trekking at Gunung Panti. Carmen drove us (Mari, me, and Bianca) to JB. Initially we missed the turn, but after asking a resort, we managed to find the small path. It was written there that you should not enter the forest without permission but apparently people often trek there "ilegally". We were lucky because we met a group of Singaporeans who were also going to trek! So we just joined their group and apparently their 'guide' (the guy who was leading the group) has been trekking at Gunung Panti for quite a lot of times.
To be honest, if we had not met the big group, I would have been quite nervous. Imagine! Four girls trekking without any guide or any map. Carmen looked confident though. I guess because she had been to Everest Base Camp trek before. She knew roughly which path to follow when you trek. Hehehe.
The mountain was quite short (around 500 metres). It was around 2 hour-trek. It was very tiring, but because it was short, so it was quite manageable and it was a perfect short get-away from routine in Singapore. Hahahaha. The path was quite muddy, but in general it was okay! :)
So next short trek, hoping to go to Gunung Berlumut and Mount Kinabalu. Seems that these two need trainings though :P
