Bukit Elmo (via Kemensah)

 

It's a long journey ahead

Summary of Hike

26.9km return (13.7km one way)

6 hours 42 minutes return (3 hours 16 minutes/3 hours 30 minutes one way)

Pre-amble

Bukit Elmo is another rare hill which under the radar.

Not many post via google about this hike, we only managed to put the route into pieces and experience it by ourselves (thanks to Mr Sega and his team). 

Bukit Elmo located at the boarder between KL and Pahang.

Hikers can either enter from Janda Baik (Bentong Pahang or Kemensah, KL).

The trail is popular for motocross activity.

For those who had been to Pondok Repin via Kemensah, hiking bukit elmo is easier than that.

The inclination only happened few hundred meters to the peak. Nothing to be alarmed at.

Leeches not many as I got bitten by only two (I didn't see it coming).

Few river crossings that could not be avoided, yes, your shoes will get wet.

There are no trail markers but the trail is clear (I would advise for navigation device as an added assistance).

For those next hikers, appreciate if you could put up trail markers along the way.
