MT. CANTIK (1,802M OR 5,910 FT) - 30 DECEMBER 2007


Faithful dog who accompanied us to the summit.

Time 1042 hrs

Thanks to Agnes for planning the itinery for the 3 days 2 nights relaxed hiking trip and booking the accomodation at MNS Research Centre.

First day (29/12/2007), departed from PJ to Cameron Highlands. Stopped half way at Bidor for breakfast cum lunch. Passed SImpang Pulai and drove up to Cameron Highlands. Later we had some ice cream at Tringkap. Then, we headed down to Tanah Rata for some scone and tea drinking session. After that we headed to MNS Research Centre at Habu, which is located after Tanah Rata but before Ringlet.

Went on a day hike to Mt. Cantik on 30 December 2007 from MNS Research Centre with colleague, ex-colleague and friend of my colleague / ex-colleague. The day before we spent a night in the chalet at MNS Research Centre in Cameron Highlands. After the hike, we went for a tour in the Boh Tea Factory and had some tea and scone at the tea shop. Managed to snap some photos from the view point near the tea shop. Spent another night at the MNS Research Centre's chalet.

Last day, dropped by at Tringkap for some shopping of sweet corn, yam and had some strawberry ice cream. Later departed to Bidor for lunch before heading back to KL.

Will post the hiking summary in due course.

Please refer to the link for MNS Research Centre. You should try to call the HQ for booking. http://www.mns.org.my/index.php

I have yet to finish upload some useful info. Will let you know when it is uploaded.

I am not sure whether it is safe to camp there. The campsite is small. Since this mountain is rarely frequented by hikers, in my opinion, it is better not to camp there.
