Mountain Climb
THREE mountains in ONE day
197 days
An EXTREME determination has led me into this plan. A day pack to Cameron Highlands not for strawberries but sweats! Completing 3 mountains in ONE day, seems impossible but I DID it!
17 May 2011 | Gunung Berembun, Gunung Jasar & Gunung Perdah
This type of mountain hiking has ONE best reason to explain: Iciness Temperature (Misty, Windy & Coolie). A strong contender for my ONE month, ONE mountain mission.
Three mountains conquered in one trip made my checklist go faster. Big applause for hiking enthusiastic who took us too unbelievable mission but achievable.
Weather was undetermined and underestimated at that point of our mission. Even though probability of canceling the event or make it shorter was there, but we seems didn’t lose our hands so easily. We hope and wait for any circumstances to make it even though we encountered ambiguity in between.
Gunung Angsi – A Training Ground
0120 days
Not too long ago since I’ve completed this mountain, I’ve geared up to attempt it again on same route as my training ground. It’s definitely not as easiest mountain to trek via Bukit Putus.
22 Oct 2011 | Gunung Angsi – A Training Ground
The reason I said so because I took 5.5 hours in 12.6km to complete the whole journey. A recent overgrown and few landslides along the way really made me think thrice if I ever go again in future.
Alternatively, there are another two routes which comes from Ulu Bendol Recreational Park (which entrance fees of RM5 applied) and via Panjang R&R.
My visit to Gunung Angsi this round was took longer than usual, due to overgrown ferny plant which slowing down my movement. But I was made aware there was a group came here 2 weeks before me via ferny trail. That’s why I was confident this route still available.
Journey to Surabaya @ Mt.Bromo (Day 1)
0144 days
My FIRST oversea trip post here. Mt Bromo (a semi-active volcano) is a popular destination in East Java. It’s a wonderful place and very scenic.
Journey to Surabaya @ Mt.Bromo – A Mystifying Volcano
Bromo surrounded by Mt Penanjakan, Mt Batok and Mt Semeru currently is an active volcano during my visit. Authorities have deterred us from getting closer and stay from a mile away. But it didn’t stop us to continue with the risk up to the allowed distance limit.
A group of 11 of us have successfully embarked 3D2N Mt. Bromo + Ijen Crater tour. Even it’s short and pack, nothing can beat our experience of hiking, experiencing low temperature and sensationally delighted with culture of suburban area.
Knowing is incomparable until I see it myself. It was simply deserving and worthy.
Journey to Surabaya @ Mt.Bromo (Day 2)
0144 days
Mount Ijen crater is so popular and the existence of Mount Ijen has been a blessing to the people living around the foot of the area.
Journey to Surabaya @ Mt.Ijen (Crater) – A Volcanic Tour
Our first day of arrival at Surabaya has been a blessing for all. The real challenge has awaited us on Day 2.
Mount Ijen (crater) is popular for its sulphur. People who work as the miner of the sulphur on the crater of the mountain transported down on their shoulder for further process in Surabaya.
The view around the foot of the mountain is really a breathtaking moment.
Journey to Surabaya @ Mt.Bromo (Day 3)
12144 days
Mt. Bromo, the main destination of the trip has finally arrived. It was easily recognized as it’s constantly belches white sulphurous smoke from its crater.
Journey to Surabaya @ Mt.Bromo – A Mystifying Volcano
Bromo is surrounded by Laut Pasir (Sea of Sand) of fine volcanic sand. The effect can be seen is widely covered by sand, compared to lush green valleys.
In early year 2011, volcanic ash was thrown up by eruptive activity caused volcanic material falling around the crater. This has created a very special situation in Mt. Bromo after the eruption.
Our visit has limited to the allowed distance (around 3km) from the crater for safety purpose.
