Gunung Serapi Waterfall hike
Kubah National Park refers to it simply as “The Waterfall”. Google maps lists it as Gunung Serapi Waterfall. Waterfalls of Malaysia dubs it Kubah Falls. Though it’s part of Sungai Rayu (Rayu River), calling it Rayu Waterfall risks confusing it with rapids of the same name further downstream. Whatever name you identify it by, this under-rated gem should be called upon when in Kuching.
Durian Hill hike
Can a single geographic location have 2 names depending on how you got there? That seems to be the case with Durian Hill … or should I say Bukit Bandar Utama?
Rafflesia hike
There’s a single flower that beats out all the bouquets. It grows not in Holland but here in Malaysia, and if you’re fortunate and it’s in bloom, a hike to see this wondrous marvel in Lojing Kelantan can be accomplished in half a day.
Gunung Alai hike
The milky way by night, a blanket of clouds in the morning and an ethereal landscape by day; Gunung Alai serves up views, 24-7.
Kesyar Falls hike
A closely guarded secret known only to guests of Pamplemosses Farm and its neighbours, Kesyar Falls is a quick and easy hike with a wonderful waterfall payoff.
Coral Hill hike
All the magic of a Malaysian mossy forest in a short, sweet, highly accessible hike.
Gunung Penelope-Gunung Cecil hike
Locks on bridges? Phht… In naming Gunung Cecil and Gunung Penelope after the colonial couple Sir Cecil and Lady Penelope, pre-independence ordinance surveyors inadvertently immortalised love. Which is why hiking this short but challenging Cameron Highlands day hike should be the ultimate gesture of one’s passion for hiking.
Trans Naning hike
Hi. My name is Muna and I’m an addict. And when I get dopamine high on my physical achievements, I make overly ambitious plans. Like wanting to hike Trans Naning.
Forest Trail 2 hike @ Tanjung Tuan
Tanjung Tuan has a new trail. Connecting the famous promontory’s Forest Trail with the Dutch Well trail, this relatively unknown route offers a blood-pumping 35 minute workout out and views from the hilltop of Pantai Keramat’s hidden cove.
