 River crossing

Ascending time

This is the last waterpoint...3.73km from start, duration : 1 hr 32 minutes

Reached Batu Tedung (the big rock), 4.2km from start (near dewan orang ramai), time taken 2 hrs.
(if you start from the parking area near the river, distance to batu tedung is 3km)

This was just before the summit. On the right is the way to the peak with the huge boulder and ladder.

On the left is the chimney and also the way to the ruins or abandoned house.

This is the peak sort of...the actual peak is at the top of the boulder where you have to climb few flight of stairs. There were too many hikers climbing the ladder and moreover, it may post danger if it get too crowded. 

Hiking Bukit Kutu wouldn't complete without exploring the scary abandoned house. Let's go to the ruins!

We are here! at the chimney area. Climbing straight up around 20 meters will take you to the top.

The chimney is at the background. Just walk straight

Just follow the trail for 300 meters or so, don't worry to get lost, the trail is very straight forward.

Welcome to the ruins!!

Yes, few more photos...don't worry, there are people here
