Registration is needed for this hike.

I would say this area is a 0 polluted.
🚫 water pollution
🚫 sound pollution
🚫 light pollution
🚫 rubbish
Therefore there is NO mosquito, NO cockroach, No rat in these mountains.
Probably the nature should be like this, but this sounds like a miracle to me, and I witnessed it.

This is one of the efforts of Terengganu Government to protect this beautiful piece of land. Hikers are ONLY allowed to hike CBL with the guidance of limited number of trained and certified mountain guides, hiking permit is required, apply 30 days prior to the hike.
We registered with 🌳Back to Nature in Malaysia 🌳. The cost was RM450 included:
(All food served are HALAL and we can cater to vegetarian)

* breakfast
* lunch
* dinner
* guide fees
* permit fees
* hall accommodation 1 day prior to the hike
* flysheet and groundsheet for sleeping
* use of camping equipment
* preparation of all meals
* porter services for food, cooking equipment, camping equipment

—- Keep Reading if you don’t want to DIE during this hike —-

Come on, you won’t die.
Just bear in mind with the following information, to save troubles and be less panic during the hike. Don’t be like us…
Please bring

❣️ clothing
*Wind jacket is necessary! Especially at night, it’s so cold at night and especially during rainy days.
*Light clothes, dry fit, quick dry, and socks (1 pair for night to keep warm – USEFUL)

❣️ personal first aid
* Basic stuffs like plaster and panadol.

❣️ snacks
* I hated myself because I didn’t bring any. (My mouth just can’t stop I don’t know about yours.) Chocolate, energy bar, almonds, candies, crackers would be good to bring along.

❣️ drinks
* When I say drinks, I don’t mean water. Water from the mountain is 100x cleaner, sweeter, non-chemical compare to the water from your house, and easily available, like when you’re showering in the river, just drink that…
Then what?!
I craved for MILO every day. Bring your personal favorite 3 in 1 coffee, milo, horlick or etc. Thanks me later.

❣️ sleeping mat and sleeping bag
JOKE TIME
We saw so many people carrying a yoga mat and we whispered “ Do they don’t have a sleeping bag? So kesian(pity). ”
At night we knew who are the “kesian” ones.

***Sleeping mat, is used at night to create a more comfortable sleeping area. More importantly, to prevent the damp from the ground contacting our body, so we won’t feel and won’t catch cold. Also technically it is not a yoga mat, it has to be a waterproof mat. The mountain guide couple gave us their bubble sheet and it helped so much! Super kind of them!

❣️ eating utensils (plate, fork/spoon, cup, container for packed lunch)
* Do as what people said. Bring a bowl, fork and spoon, cup and a container to pack your lunch. Don’t be like Choco…

❣️ torchlight/headlamp
* I told you right? There’s no light pollution, if you want to see things at night, bring your own light.

❣️ camera
* Seal your electronic gadgets in a waterproof bag ALWAYS. I nearly lost my phone in rain.

❣️ walking stick (optional)
* Don’t you want an extra pair of legs to hike?

❣️ slippers
* Don’t you want to walk?
(I didn’t bring mine anyway. It was an awful experience…)

LEECH ALERT
There were leeches only at the Chemerong waterfall area. One of our group mates brought colgate+listerine mix spray and that works perfectly.
