I know the 1st post is full of words, but hence it is a good reading material before bed-time? Anyway this is a follow up on more on Bukit Putih from Level 0 to Level 3 via the "Normal" Route up and "Novice" Route down.
31 July 2007 | 13.20 - solo hiking with my old Panasonic Digital Camera
Picture taken quite dark, temperature was about 32'Celsius
Ants by the size of a thumb, please don't step on them
Level 0 towards Level 1, the track condition is rather easy uphill and downhill
New man-build-bridge & the old, this was build last weekend at the Level 1 by the waterfall river.
Level 1 towards Level 2 is all uphill, take a rest if you really can't go on.
Seen here are 2 elder couples taking their afternoon climb.
Some people can run out of air by forcing themselves, you can see how uphill from my standing point.
Looking down from Level 2, be very careful if you take this route down.
Be even more careful if the track condition is wet.
If you don't know how to read Chinese like I do, I believe this sign says use the route on the left as the upcoming tree predicted to fall.
Hiking at this time is rather humid, the best time is early in the morning.
That afternoon wind was very dry.
Between Level 2 towards Level 3, you will see this long log.
Recommended: Lying on this log is very relaxing!
This proves you have reached Level 3, route towards Level 4, 5, The Waterfall and 6 will be a like a walk in the park from here.
Signs like these will be posted mostly every Level, make sure you take the information down. You never knows when you might need it.
From Level 3 down to Level 1, I was running downhill. Reason being was I encounter some enthusiast women which scream every once in a while. I'm not sure the reason to their action, probably wants to be in touch with mother nature? Anyway, it is advisable not to make loud noises when you are in any forest.
This route I took downhill is rather easy, but at one point you will face this!
There is another side of the small river by the waterfall at level 1, also recommended to take a rest here and enjoy the river breeze.
This will be me, seriously enjoying that moment. Thanks to GATSBY, my hair still in style!
There are ropes for you to hold onto, please use them wisely.
So this is quite the end of my hiking to-and-flow from Level 0-3.
There are 2 stalls that sells fruits, food and drinks (they have Tong Sui) by the entrance.
There is also a small pond, you can relax there like them:
This trip took me only 1H 05M. My dad can do it in 45Mins with his 38" Tummy.
Gentle reminder, please do not throw your rubbish everywhere in the reserve forest!
MUST keep the environment clean! You start the trend, someone will follow.
UPDATES: Heard from friends, the Bukit Putih is not open to the public until further notice. This may due to the ample parking space available, some people tend to park by the resident houses. Those who are coming to Bkt. Putih should park near towards the football field which is infront of the Magnolia Ice Cream shop-lots. It is just 10mins walking distance to the entrance.
