I never been to Lentang Legong via Lepoh Waterfall, so I browsed through Hiking and Camping Around Malaysia (HACAM) and noticed the hike, so I quickly signed up.

The hiking expedition is a combination of 2 parties : Great Outdoor Trails Making A Difference (GOTMAD) & Tenang Trekkers.

This hike is powered by Thrunite headlamp

In the wee hours, we gather and gear up

Let's get moving...

The line up on that day

Mount Lentang Legong is also accessible/penetrable via/to Gunung Nuang and Bukit Repin.

This is the junction to bukit repin and lentang legong. Our guide, Juju using a tree branch to block the trail to bukit repin as do not want other team members take the wrong direction.

The junction is 3.8km from Lepoh waterfall (not from the start ya..) where the junction located.

650 meters more to the peak.

It should be background with mountains, not like this!

My next agenda is advancing to Bukit Repin via Lepoh...well someday. 

Going back was easy (or not easy) as I'm facing with soft & slippery ground, very steep gradient on your way down. Please hold on to something as the gravity may pull you down. But if you as an experienced hikers, going down was rather easy and fast.

Don't give up!
