This is my 2nd time climbing Gunung Hitam but this time around, the climb was a bit treacherous and long (and muddy...and slippery).
You may find the previous post for Gunung Hitam here
Trans Langat involved hiking up and down to 4 peaks and walking or running on tarmac for about 11km back to starting point as you will start hike at Ikan Bakar Sri Nikat and end the hike at Genting Peras Signboard but since we parked our car at Ikan Bakar Sri Nikat....we have to walk/run back...huhu.
The 4 peaks are Gunung Hitam, Bukit Resam Ambat, Gunung Batu Resam and Bukit Batu Bulan.
Overall,Trans Langat may be completed around 15km in 6 hours 33 minutes if you end your journey at Genting Peras. Please add another 11km and almost 2 hours to Ikan Bakar Sri Nikat by foot.

From Bukit Batu Bulan, the trail is very slippery, fell so many times here. Please wear your glove and make sure your handphone is in a save slot (or you might end up losing it while you slide down and fell without noticing it).
Actually, your hike kind of ends here in Genting Peras as you are out from the forest. But since our car parked at Ikan Bakar Sri Nikat, here we go....running walking at noon and the heat was unbearable.
condition of the shoes
My piece of advice, do own a not so expensive trail shoes
The mud were up on our knee...(or butt..)
Distance from Genting Peras to Starting Point (ikan bakar sri nikat) - 11km
Distance from start to Starting Point - 27km
Time taken from Genting Peras to Starting Point - 1 hour 51 minutes
Time taken from Start to Starting Point - 8 hours 24 minutes
Road difficulty - easy, flat only, watch out for oncoming traffic
200 - 300 metres when we were out from the jungle, there's 4 x 4 trail road plus gravel road leading to main road known as Genting Peras (where the bikers/cyclist doing their rounds).
I would advise if you want to save that 11km walking back to starting point, and if you travel in a group, you may park one of your car here as a shuttle service back and forth.
Great hike and great company since we are under Control Movement Order (MCO) as travelling interstate is restricted.
