Bukit Seladang - Jerantut, Pahang - The Fog

 

Get ready for sudden spasm on your thigh!

GPS coordinate is on the top of this photo


The inclination is crazy since the start and its all the way up and up.

Distance
1.8km one way in 48 minutes 20 minutes - cannot go fast anyway as the view is breathtaking
3.7km return in 1 hour 12 minutes.

From Start to 1st Viewpoint
1.2km in 33 minutes

From 1st View point to Peak
600 meters or so - in 15 minutes


Road Side Parking


can also park inside - free 

Its a quick hike due to short distance but it may delay the hike a bit because of the view at certain checkpoints were amazing!


with Pak Syed, a familiar name in hiking



at the beginning of the trail



A junction after climbed 570 meters distance
turning left for hard mode, straight for not so easy mode


at 1 km hike. There are 2 trail. going straight or to the left.
Both are crazy inclination. Trail to the left will take you to view point - very nice

Still at 1km hike junction. view from opposite. Going straight to CP1 as they call it. Also got nice view of the valley.

This is the view - yes, like haze

going down and up again. another 570 meters to the top


its misty at rubber plantation
This is the top...misty..wohoo...!


Oh yes, please do go early as 7am, from 1st checkpoint to peak are filled with morning mist...

and if you are lucky, there will be sea of clouds forming at the top.

There you have it. Quick hike in Jerantut.
Hikers who climbed Bukit Seladang will also climbed Bukit Buloh (aka Red Forest) on the same day. Check out my posting.
