Most hikers are familiar with the Kemensah area, but do stay on the well-established trails. For this event we will also explore some new trails, mainly used by orang asli. As it is usual the case with our Sunday events, to make the hike more adventurous, there will be some scrambling involved.

We will have two options for this hike. Both come with some up and downhill sections as can be seen in the respective profiles in the Knowledge Base.

The total distance for Option A will be around 11 kilometres. It will be a loop and there will be more scrambling involved than the Option B hike.

The total distance for Option B will be around 10 kilometres. It will be a balloon with a string, which means the beginning and end part are the same.

There are options to take a shortcut if you consult your navigation app.

Some areas do not have any canopy coverage, so protect yourself properly against the elements.

 Make sure you have a gps navigation app (like ~in alphabetical order~ AllTrails (paid version), Gaia, Hiiker, Komoot, [

), OSMAnd, Wikiloc,...) installed on your phone and make sure that it is working properly. If you don't have an app installed yet, we suggest to use Hiiker to start with. Once you have downloaded the offline map of Malaysia, you can easily import and navigate any gpx file. More info can be found in the Knowledge Base sub 

Event Information (general) - How to prepare myself for navigation...?

Do not come to the venue if you have not pre-installed a gps navigation app at home, or have not downloaded the map of Malaysia at home, or have not opened the test gpx file at home.

 Every week, we notice that too many hikers arrive just before the event starts and are absolutely not prepared which is jeopardising the scheduled timing of the event. Especially iPone users are urged to make sure that they can open the test gpx file at home and are able to navigate.

This is a self-guided hike. You will receive a gpx file at the trailhead and you will have to navigate yourself. There will be no paper markers. For those who are not familiar with gps navigation, you will be guided but still have to use your own navigation app on your phone.

By 01:00 pm all hikers should have reached the car park again.

Do note that the indicated meet-up time is

 The QR code for the gpx file can be scanned at the trailhead from 08:30 am onwards. You can start your hike at any time between 08:30 am and 09:00 am.
