Overall distance and timing

Pre-hike briefing by Mr Eddie





This road is actually from Kombat Zone Paintball
can park your car here also

The road lead you up further but being blocked by those chairs.
On the right is where we came from (Kombat Zone Paintball)



Just walk straight uphill and you will reach here


220 metres from start to this junction


As soon as we go down the slope, there is a stall selling cold drinks and fruits.


This is the tricky part, better turn left, you can also go straight which also will turn left but a bit further


This is the sofea jane junction

From parking to sofia jane waterfall aka Kubang Gajah waterfall is 2.1km.
(Another 5.9km to Bukit Chenuang)





small waterfall/stream at 4.8km from start




After this, killer hills awaits...
It's 3.48km to Bukit Chenuang


The trail is clear and mostly dry



We reached Batu Kumbang at 6.89km later from start (7km la plus minus)
from this signboard to the top it's only a mere few meters - doesn't count la.
The best thing with suunto 5 is you able to measure your next waypoint and in this case, it's 1.64km to Bukit Chenuang. More killer hills (and down hills)..let's goooo....!

There was little spot to stand...
Too many hikers from Kemensah...haha

Rested a bit, waiting for few fellow hikers to reach their goal, then, we headed down...i mean up and down...

  1. Hi, do you need permit to hike. If yes, may I know where you apply the permit?
