I would recommend bukit repin from Lepoh (rather from kemensah) as the distance is shorter and on the way back it's totally going down to lepoh waterfall. After Lepoh waterfall, it's flat like lempeng (pancake).
(If from kemensah, de-motivation comes after Lubuk Tedung all the way to finishing line)
You also may consider to hike bukit repin from Janda baik (Pahang), Kemensah (Ulu Klang) or Gunung Nuang, Hulu Langat (Pangsun) or if you are free and got nothing to do, you may do a full loop - Lepoh, Bukit Repin, Lentang Legong, Nuang, Janda Baik or vice versa..the trail could be crafted to suit your need.
Of course, the longer the trail, the more preparation you need to be aware off - drinks, water station, food, shelter, power bank, emergency kit, etc.
Leech are aplenty! So, I recommend to wear a leech socks, it will save your time, just keep on walking. If you use insect repellent, you may need to stop apply and reapply, that would cost you a precious time.
Dead-Tie knot your shoes string - untangled shoe string can be a nuisance during your hike. Just dead-tie it. Will show photo later on (cannot find in google..demm!)
Tired of your shoelaces coming off in the middle of hike? Dead-knot it...

This is the crucial junction at 7.5km from start.
Please turn left.
The bukit Repin junction ya...
Though it said on my watch its 2.5km more to peak of bukit repin (from the junction) but when I relook back on the actual distance, it was 3km from the junction. So, plus minus 2.5km - 3km...be prepare for this ya..
