Sophie Louie: Mount Trusmadi, Sabah

Before i start off my bragging about my awesome expedition conquering the Trusmadi mount i think i better make all the Sabahan proud first.

The top 3 highest mount in Malaysia ate all in SABAH!
yeyyyy! clap-clap-clap

You can check the top 10 highest mount in Malaysia here. please click here.

And Nuluhon Trusmadi is actually the second highest mount in MALAYSIA!!!

There are actually 3 ways to the top of mount Trusmadi.

1.Wayaan Kaingaran (Tambunan),4.9km from starting point

2.Wayaan Mastan (Keningau), 4.3 from starting point

3.Wayaan Mannan (Sook), 11.3 from starting point.

We decided to go with Wayaan Kaingaran 4.9km from starting point!

1st day

We leave from KK at 6.30 to 7.00 am because we want to layover to Mahua Waterfall first since we are already in Tambunan.

i am half Tambunan but honestly i never went to Mahua Waterfall before.
kekeke.

We arrived at Mahua around 9.00am.

And it was so cold that non of us want to swim!

We had our breakfast here too.

We leave Tambunan Town around 1.30pm and arrive at our Rest House at around 3 pm.

As soon as we arrive there, we jump into the river!

Yessss. a very cold river water is what we all need in the hot weather.

masak-memasak for dinner.

Dipendekkan cerita, during our dinner the guide actually gave us a few choice

1. Start hiking at 11pm and arrive at the top before sunrise or

2. Start hiking at 3 in the morning.

We all decided to watch the Sunrise so, we have to start hiking at 11 pm.

That's mean we have to sleep right after Dinner and woke up at 10pm.

But i seriously have problem sleeping early. biasa tidur jam 12pm. huhu

After trying to sleep so hard, i finally fall asleep at 8 pm.

But sadly i woke up at 8.50pm and i can't sleep anymore.

So, i played Piano Tiles until 10pm. hoho

beginilah keadaan Rest House kami at Night.

Dipendekkan cerita lagi at 11pm we went to the starting point 30minute drive from our Rest House.

Only 4 wheel car can access this road ya.

We arrived at starting point around 11.30 pm.

Gambar-gambar sekejap then briefing by our guide.

"just in case you are walking alone along the jouney, and you suddenly feels it so silent like bunyi cengkerik pun tidak dengar, go join the other group, sama ada tunggu yang group belakang atau kejar group depan. there's a possibility you are being stalk by big animals. not to scared you guys tapi dalam hutan ni memang ada harimau. so always be alert dan kalau boleh walk in group"

This guide really make me a little bit scared but excited at the same time!

So we started climbing, i think around 12.00am.

And first stage is easy.

They build a stair around 2.2km from the starting point to the Middle Rest House.

One of my friend who used to hike there said in 2011 there are no stair.

So they have to find their own way.

Bawa parang semua to clear the road and it's actually more challenging back then.

Part of me are greatfull that they built the stair but part of me think that
"damn, i all miss the real exciting journey!"

But no worry, the road is still very adventurous and exciting!

half way to go!

sempat posing youuuu.

We arrive at the top at 5.30 am and its so damn cold so that i want top just cuddle with my friends. seriously guys bring thicker jacket!
