CBL Chemerong - Berembun - Lata Lansir

Update 21/5/2015. Removed some photos where my friend dah pun bertudung skrg :)

It was fara who invited me to the trip yang di organize oleh Encik Stoned. Beriaya sangat budak kecik ni ajak pegi trekking.Maklumlah trip Yong Belar awal tahun aritu dah lama sgt lepas. Since budak ni dah ajak 1 bulan awal, gigihlah diri men sign up kan diri.Dot pun mula invite kengkawan gunung lain.Sorang2 cakap busy, xleh join. Down sebentar. Minggu2 terakhir bagi confirmation, barulah dapat msg dari bff kata die setuju nak temankan. Terharu sekejap.

Seperti yang dijanjikan, mlm tu kami gather kat LRT Gombak.Ayah and mak sent me there and ayah was the one yang paling esaited.Thanks Ayah! Kat sana jumpe Fara n Napi.Esaited jumpe Fara. Start malam tu bermulalah trio Fara, Napi & Dot menawan puncak Berembun, Chemerong, Lata Lansir atau ringkasnya CBL.Two of the participants dari Singapore sampai agak lewat that day sebab flight delay. So around 1.30 am gerak ke Terengganu and we reached Hutan Lipur at 6.30am.

Sampai2 je terus sambar beg and tunaikan solat subuh. Tukar baju trekking, Fara and I terus g tolong dayang prepare breakfast. Masa ni start la ice breaking kenal2 dengan geng2 dapur Kak Dayang & Cham maskulin.hehe.Lepas briefing oleh organizer, Encik Stoned Cham trus lead stretching and bacaan doa. Rasanya 9.30 baru start trekking.

Trek mendatar sehingga berjumpa sebatang pokok besar yang berlubang dalamnye. Boleh susun org di dalamnye.

MasyaAlla, tetap utuh pokok ni wlaupun berlubang2. Lepas tu kami tiba di kaki air terjun Chemerong. Serius tinggi air terjun ni.Cantik sangat. Bersyukur dapat jejak kaki kat salah satu tempat ciptaan Allah yang maha hebat ni.Sesi berphotoshoot pun bermula lah. Time ni la kenal Kak Erin & husbandnyer yang sgt sweet :)

Selepas cross air terjun tersebut, kami proceed berjalan sehingga trek semakin lama semakin canak. Trek Bukit Dinding paling psiko. Taukeh Along memberi nasihat dan semangat.Petuanya, jalan saja kiri kanan kiri kanan habis. Kalau dah pewai pewai la jugak.haha. Stamina dot n fara ni langsung xselari.Bila sorang pewai, sorang semangat.Bila yang semangat dah pewai yang pewai semangat pulak.Pun begitu Kehadiran bff yang setia menjadi sweeper kehormat kami berdua amat menenangkan jiwa.Terima Kasih daun keladi napie :)

At 1pm lebih kurang we arrived Kem Balak. Kat situ kami makan lunch pack kami. Time2 treking ni mana nak lalu makan.so gagah kanlah nak makan.Bila xhabis tu mintak maaf banyak2 pada Allah n sedekahkan kt semut2.Packing2 sampah kami sangkut di kem balak sebab nanti masih lalu kem balak.So bolehla buang time balik nanti. Selepas solat, diteruskan ke kem Y yang terletak 45 min je dari Kem balak.Nak ke kem Y jalan die landai aje.naik trun mcm biasa. di kem Y kami take 5 sebelum meneruskan perjalanan ke Puncak Berembun

kem balak

bonsai area sebelum tiba peak

Masa ni boleh tahan la ada naik ada turun.Sebelum tiba di puncak, kami melalui Kawasan bonsai.Cantik sesangat tgk bonsai2.Dulu kecik2 pokoknye skg lebih tggi dari orang.Kata senior2 gunung lah.Kira-kira jam 6 kot kami tiba di puncak berembun.Sejuk.

Seperti yang dijanjikan Napi n Fara, diorang pun masak la 2 bungkus mee PAMA.Dekat peak bertembung geng2 terawal lain mcm kak erin n adam. Xlama lepas tu husband kak erin pun smpai. Napi yang memikul air dari bawah pun mula la bukak stove n mestin n berganding bahu dgn fara masak mee n air kopi.Dot nk bgtahu korang kopi napi always the best walopun sebenarnye 3in1 kan.haha. Berkat mi yang sedikit tu la semua dapat merasa walopun sorang sedikit.

Puncak berembun dipenuhi dengan pokok2 yang tinggi jugak.so xde view la kat sana.On the way kt area bonsai tu mmg superb view. Kami proceed ke lubuk lesung lepas makan2.Disebabkan hari dah senja, dot napi n fara trekking sambil berlari2 menuruni gunung. Tau2 je dpt kejar group depan. Masing2 target xnak bukak headlamp.Alhamdulillah selamat tiba around 7 lebih tapi lubuk lesung pack dan jem.Atas ihsan 1 group chinese ni, kami dapatlah bersesak2 kat lata lansir. Tempat sempit n nasibla napi bawak fly n ground sndrik.dlm fly kecik tulah kami bertiga melindungi diri & tidur utk 1 malam.

lubuk lesung

Sebelum masuk tidur kami masak2 dulu.Menu malam tu ayam masak merah.Settle tolong2, fara dot n kak erin amik kesempatan mandi.masa tu dah larut malam tapi sebab rimas gagahkan diri gak mandi kat kolam2 di lansir tu.Bahagia betul gelap2 tu dpt mandi puas2 syampu2 gosok gigi sabun2.lega.lepas tu solat dan terus tido.Napi kejut ajak makan tapi masing2 xmau makan pasal dah malam sgt. Rasa lawak gak mlm tu tido.dak fara smpai dah kluar2 fly dah betapa keciknye fly kan.budak2 ni tido bole tahan lasak.Dot yg xbrape nk tido sgt mlm tu layankan jela.

Esok pagi terus bangun nak tgk sunrise.Takda rezeki sebab matahari agak segan pagi tu.lepas minum2 kopi, kemas2 fly n pindah ke kem site baru yakni lubuk lesung sebab ada group yang dah balik that day.Lega sekali kat sini sebab luasssssss.cm besa fara napi n dot bertiga.Time kasih napie jaga pintu fly.hihi.Cham n Kak dayang dah siap masak tapi kami bertiga lari naik kolam private atas bawak sleeping mat, barang2 masak n makan megi n minum kopi kt atas tu sambil2 tiruk.melayan perasaan 3 org kat atas ni.seronok.dah makan mandi dan mandi lagi.tiruk tiruk dan tiruk lagi.sliding kt batu2.haish seronoknye.

Petang tu ade rojak buah, lepak atas batu lubuk lesung dgn fara, napi n asrul sampai magreb. SERONOK :).Malam tu menu istimewa cham. kurma daging tak bersantan.Ko jgn sedih cham.lauk ko tetap habis.licin.sedap.agar2 anggur kan dayang pun cara gak.sedap.semua sedapp lah.

Pagi tu lepas tlg ala kadar kak dapur sebelum kakak singapore masak mee. Dot n Kak Dayang lari ke kolam private.Line clear xde org.bertiruk lah kami berdua.puas dpt syampu n keringkan rambut kt atas tanpa gangguan.Lepas sarapan, kami pun kemas2 kem site.sedih nye nak tinggalkan kem site.

Dlm 11.30 tu dah bertolak turun.Lalu trek ke Chemerong sampai bertemu Sg Bangang.Boleh tahan pacak gak dari Lansir tu.Tapi lepas tu mendatar sebelum jumpe Sungai Yu atau Sungai Bangang.Tempat ni lubuk. org suke terjun2 kat lubuk ni.lepas lubuk tu, trek nye gak.Tapi napi dah pesan, never say never. Tak lama lepas tu menurun je.Time ni pun berlari gak trekking ke bawah.Esaited xhengat.Dot paling suke time balik sebab suke mencabar diri utk xbanyak berenti.

lubuk yu / sungai bangang

photo gediks session

Time balik ni kami cut kem Y trus tiba Kem Balak. Lunch kat sana, napi n cham buat air sirap limau.Group belakang xsmpai lagi so kami proceed dulu.Ada yang singgah lubuk tapi dot n fara xmau kesana.Kami terukan perjalanan hingga jumpa seraya besar pokoknye.

Akhirnya kami selamat tiba di Hutan Lipur sekitar pukul 4.30 petang bersama dengan guider wawa, Indera n encik doc.Kami pertama sekali smpai.Sesi berphoto gedik diteruskan dgn n napi.Nasibla cameraman ni x merungut kene amik gambar. Trip CBL ni dot bagi 10 bintang. Ramai, xsempat kenal smua.Tapi yang mana semapt tu memang syok la dpt kenal org dari diff background tp minat yang sama.Hiking! Terima Kasih semua utk pengalaman tak ternilai ni.Korang memang superstar.

Trip 3 hari ni mengikat lagi friendship dot n my bff. Napi lah sahabat dunia akhirat. Tak diduga, mcm yang Fara janji, dia teman dot smpai habis trip. Akhirnya 3 trio ni jadik kembar 3 yang sentiasa bersama-sama, kemana-mana.Fly yang kecik dan sempit tu sebenarnya yang make us closer kan! 3hari yang luar biasa.Thanks for everything!

p/s:sampah yg kami tinggal di kem balak dah ade org kutip.Thanks geng gunung yg

budiman.Klau korang treking jumpe smpah, ambik je sebab mungkin ada smpah korang yang org tlg kutip yang korang xsedar. Peace to all hikers :)

Tasik Chini | Chini Lake

Tasik Chini is located at 250km from Kuala Lumpur. It is accessible by road, take exit to Gambang and straightaway to Pekan, Pahang. Lake Chini has its own legend.The people there believe that there is a magical dragon that lives in the lake ( source : a pamplet).

Activities that can be done there are :

1. Lake tour
2. Fishing
3. Horse Riding
4. Fish feeding
5. Blow pipe challenge
6. Visting Jakun's settlement and so on.

As for us, we went for lake tour by boat.There are numbers of packages and we took a "melawat 12 lautan & melawat perkampungan orang asli" package that cost RM60. The package is for 4 pax and additional passenger will be charge extra RM15 per pax.

Antara lautan-lautan yang ada

dapatlah tengok teratai sikit2

We were a bit unlucky because it was not lotus season. August is the best month for sight seeing as the lake will be covered with bunga teratai :)

At the jetty, you can see a lot of lampan fish (if i was not mistaken). So korang bolehlah bagi makan kat ikan2 ni sebab diorang jual makanan ikan as cheap as RM2 per tupperware. awesome kan!

Trans Sabah

My Travel Journal :D

Lets start with awal bismillah, assalamualaikum and hello. I miss my blog and i am so busy nowadays. Harap-harap mood menulis masih ada :). I just get back from Sabah. Its a 6D5N trip with my greatest batch20. We have been planning all this since last year. Can you imagine how long it was!

The background story.

Tahun lepas la ceritanya. Hajat nak naik Kinabalu tapi kawan2 masih belajar lagi, belum berani nak target kumpul duit seribu demi Kinabalu. Since masa final year dulu pernah buat program ke Sabah, maka this time around kita buat reunion pulak. Explore some other side of Sabah yang xsempat nak visit. And alhamdulillah we made it dan the total cost lengkap makan, minum, tempat tidur hanya RM460 and its for 6D5N, excluded flight fare. Macam mana? Keep on reading. Im sure you'll not regret.

Day 1 : Around KK

Tambang murah kan so we went to KK masing2 separate flight. I was in the 1st group. The journey starts at 10 am, from my house. Commuter fare from Rawang to KL Sentral was RM3.60. From KL Sentral we took Skybus which cost only RM9. aT 12.15PM the bus headed to LCCT and it took 1 hour and a half to reach LCCT. At 2.15 we took the flight to KK and reached there at 4.51. At the departure hall somebody from Borneo Backpackers ( our hostel ) hold some sign with Alan's name written on it. He drove us to our budget hotel which is very comfortable.

Later that night we went to a dataran near to Gaya Street. We was lucky because it was Tadau Kaamatan feast so we got the chance to see some traditional dance. The last person that reached that night was Fizah.

Some infos of Borneo Backpackers - For backpackers well this kinda hostel really save us. Its really cheap. RM25 (for aircond) per night, inclusive breakfast. WIFI is free, there are 2 computers for you to online, update your facebook or to get some infos of where to go. There are 2 pantry, a pretty awesome TV area and living hall.4 stars hostel I guess.The hostel is highly secure where you'll be given password to enter the building and the person in charge there, namely Nanie. She is so helpful, trust me.

breakfast buat sendiri :)

Day 2 : Around KK & Manukan Island

Around KK

If you travel to Borneo, waktu solat mostly 1 hour earlier. Yah bayangkan subuh yang pertama ni everyone woke up early. Masuk subuh terus bangun. Semangat tak terkata. We had our breakfast at 6.30 am and around 7 am we went to Sabah Tourism Office to get some infos and of course the map of Sabah. Its located near to our hostel, opposite the Jalan Dewan.

Our first checkpoint was the Atkinson Tower Clock Tower.It was built in 1905, in memory of the first district officer of Jesselton, Francis George Atkinson who died of Malaria when he was 28 years! Muda betul dah jadi pegawai daerah :)

Then we headed to Padang Merdeka which is 5 minutes walk from the Atkinson Clock Tower. After we took some photos, we headed to Sabah Islamic Civilization Museum. It took about 1 hour walk from Padang Merdeka and the fare is only RM1. Near to the Islamic Museum, there's also Sabah Art Gallery, State Museum and also Heritage Village.There are some old trains outside of the museum.I guess Heritage Village it the best place to visit. You can try the traditional games there and see the unique houses of Sabahan.

Snorkeling at Manukan Island

Later petang tu we went to Jesselton Point. Its a jetty to Pulau Sapi, Manukan and some other islands of TAR park.Some cost infos of the activities there :

Boat Transfer ( 1 island) : RM18

snorkeling gear : RM 15

Tax : RM 3.60 (kami tunjuk student card yg dah 2 thn lepas grad.lol.Kalau x RM7)

Permit : RM 3

The best time for snorkeling is at the morning. Sebab petang-petang ni view kabur sikit. Budak2 ni bila dapat air memang bukan main sakan lagi berenang2. Plus Cik Pijah baru beli camera cover untuk masuk air, banyak gambar dalam air aje.Kat daratnye ada la seketul dua. The last boat transfer to the mainland adalah pukul 5. If you wish to extend it, you better charter a boat for RM250 ( 2 ways ).

Seafood Dinner.

Betul2 area waterfront ada banyak seafood stalls. Ada yang ready made dah masak, ada yang u gotta choose the ikan, sotong and die masak fresh2 for you.Kalau nak suruh die masak, u better be prepared. Konsep dia, u choose the ikan/sotong/ketam, they will qoute you and later they will giv discount on you. Masa dia bagi quotation, tulis dalam travel journal tu sebab masa nak kira nanti, pandai-pandai je die adjust harga tu. I hampir terkena ni thats why i remind you.Malam itu the total cost was only RM110 (excluded the drinks) so seorang kena RM10 je.isnt that CHEAP?? pengsan sebab murah.hehe.Balik tu tido kekenyangan.

Day 3 : White Water Rafting at Sungai Padas

We went to Sungai Kiulu last 2 years and thats why we really wanna try Sungai Padas this year. Gred III & IV and there are 7 jeram i guess namely scooby doo, washing maschine, lambada, roller coaster. Oh tu je yang i boleh recall.Ada yang jeram ombak die reach macam 1 meter kot.tinggi.Memang fun lah i tell you.Since ther were 11 of us, kita dapat 2 boats. Line up boat i Hana, sawal, eca, babam n ija.Hehe.

FYI, from KK you gotta take a bus to stesen keretapi Tenom and 3 hours perjalanan ye.krem kaki. Bas akan lalu ke Taman Banjaran Crocker.Memang cun lah tempat ni. Bas pun ada masa xlarat naik sebab bukitnya tinggi-tinggi.

Sampai stesen Tenom tu jauh lagi. You gotta take a colonial style steam locomotive or diesel train for to hours to reach the starting point of WWR. Memang awesome lah klasik sgt.Rasa mcm zaman jepun tren nyer. Duduk bersila u all.ade 4 kerusi je each gerabak.Kerusi taman bunga pulak tu. If the gerabak semua penuh, berdiri lah u dekat gerabak last sekali.Panas tu :) Air sungai padas berlumpur mcm air teh susu. So kat sini xsyok sebab xdpt nak mandi manda. kalau sungai kiulu dapatlah you test2 skill berenang di kawasan dalam.

Alkisahnya that day around 4 pm kot dah settle rafting, tapi tren nak ke tenom balik tu aiseh smpai lepas magrib. Penat toksah cakap la.pastu 3 jam perjalanan balik ke KK dengan baju yang tak tukar tu.kenapa xtukar? toilet semua dah tutup.Dah malam kan u all.Kat sabah malamnya berlalu cepat.Kedai2 tutup semua.And the cost for this WWR RM160.bolehhla murah kan compare yang lain tapi i xberapa puas hati dengan service dia.racist sikit.no offense.lol.You can try riverbug kot.Mcm cool je :)

Day 4 : Gaya Street Market, Pasar Philipine & Simpang Mengayau

If you stay at Borneo Backpackers then you'll be lucky because the shopping spree is just across the road :). Naah im not into shopping when i travel. Gaya street Market is open every sunday from 5.30 am until 1 pm. They sell tshirts, unique souvenir, plants, some foods and drinks, pets pun ada. My advise is, pegi je Pasar Philipine. Boleh bargain sangat murah. Kene pandai la buat ayat :) Bukan ape, die dah ada kedai sendri so bolehhla kasik murah. After doing some shooping, almaklumla ade yang tempah2 dari semenanjung tu ( i xamik tempahan.hehe) we had lunch at Sempelang Restaurant. Makanan die bolehla murah. RM5 without air untuk nasik campur. Okeyla kan untuk budget traveller mcm i ni.

We rent a van Nissan Urvan for RM250 per day.Service bagus.You can call abdul if you wish to rent.0198509825.This time around we had to rent a van sebab the next destination was very far. 3 hours journey.Simpang Mengayau ni hajat eycah n pijah la.Budak2 photographer mana nak lepas port yang view cantik ni kan.Tapi it was worth it sangat dapat tengok sunset you alls di penghujung tip of Borneo. Melayan perasaan lah masing-masing kat sini. :) Simpang Mengayau is located at Kudat, and it is at the most tip of North Borneo. Kira mcm dah hujung borneo lah ni.Malam jugaklah kami sampai ke KK. Letih yang berbaloi.

Day 5 : Kinabalu Park, Kiram's Village, Desa Cattle farm @ Kundasang

We rent a van for another day. Kundasang is 2 hours drive from KK. And along the way you can see, a superb view of hills and mountains and of course The Kinabalu Mount. We went to Kinabalu Park to get to Timpohon Gate. Simpan semangat untuk tahun depan kata

orang.Masing2 senyap je kat gate tu.yela dah bape tahun simpan hasrat ni. sorang2 porter bawak brg2 nak bawak ke restoren / hotel kt atas tu.Kinabalu, next year i datang! Permit nak masuk RM3 ni kne bayar kat gate utama lagi. FYI Timpohon gate ni permulaan trek Gunung Kinabalu.Kira ikut Mesilau lah ni.

Selepas melayan baik perasaan kt Kinabalu we headed to Kiram's Village. Ni lah lokasi penginapan kami :) at 3 pm we went to Desa Cattle Farm. Ladang lembu dengan view macam New Zealand, siap ade gunung Kinabalu. Bagi i la, indah sangat Kundasang ni.Tak terucap dek kata-kata. At 3pm ni you will be able to see Proses Picit Susu. Comel lembu2 ni. Entrance fee adelah RM3 only. If you were lucky, dapatlah merasa susu segar. During my visit semua sold out. So layan photoshoot ajelah.

Kiram's Village

Ya Allah superb sangat tempat ni.View die pulak Gunung Kinabalu. Memang enjoy sangat. Suhu makin menurun bila malam tiba. 17degree BBQ kat luar.Memang sejuk la semua makanan2 nyer. Kat sini ade a few cabins macam banglo la.Our cabin namely Strawberry ni kinda besar jugak sebab boleh occupy 11 pax. There is 2 rooms and total ada5 single beds and a queen bed.Complete ada dapur, hall room, ada balcony. Beli biskut kering cicah air teh panas, duduk kt balkoni sambil layan view. Rasa macam nak tinggal selama2nya aje kat sini.Owner nyer, boleh panggil uncle kiram sangat la baik hati.uncle yang jaga cafe lagi baik hati.puas hati buat bbq dengan beliau.makanan mcm utk 100 org.tapi per head RM25 je.this one you kene pre order lah. :) Sewa cabin pulak RM250/night.

Day 6 : Kiram's Village - Pekan Nabalu

Nampaknye i dah mula tulis bm.gasaklah.haha.The next day bangun alahai xsanggup nak tinggalkan Kundasang ni. Redup je hati duduk sini.Lupa KL, Lupa masalah. Mulalah rasa sayang dan rindu each other. Sambil nak balik tu pandang-pandang ke belakang. Babai Kinabalu.Next yer kami datang lagi.

Dalam otak dah mula fikir bebanan keje. sedih nak tinggal line up yang sangat best. Hana, sawal, alan, zin, olo, ecah, pijah, jajai, bam, eja thanks korang. Sangat meaning full trip ni.Flight that day jam 3.15pm, so mostly that day buat final shooping jela. Oh we did went to Observatory Tower of KK. Nice view up there!

Thanks kawan-kawan. I noe agak sukar nak ada trip mcm ni lagi due to commitment. But i'll try my best to make it real! As for myself, i'll keep going on backpacking. Hajat nak try trans Java macam fat @ backpackerbusuk.blogspot.com. I will! Memetik kata2 dari belog beliau, mana nak start langkah yang besar kalau bukan dgn langkah kecil.Lepas ni nak merantau jauh lagi. InsyaAllah, semoga diberi kesihatan yang baik utk aku laksanakan impian ni. Amin.

Olo * Ecah * Dodot
