There are two routes which can be used by
climbers: one is through Kg Hussein and another one utilising a vertical yet
interesting route starting from Kg Kuala Mu. Both are located in Sg Siput.
Route 1: Kg Kuala Mu
The journey will start at a place named
Felda Perlop Selatan. This is where you will board a pick-up truck that will carry you
to Kg Kuala Mu, which is located about 3hrs journey by mobile. Be warned that the truck
will use a loggers’ trail, thus, the road condition is not very well maintained.
Kg Kuala Mu is actually an Aborigines
settlement. This is where you will begin your trek to Mount Yong Yap. Beginning
from a waterfall just beside the village, a quite horrendous vertical slope
will greet you, with a smiling face. For today, the trekker would recommend for the team
to rest at Camp Sera, where water could be easily collected at the nearby Sg Cina.
Nothing to worry about because the campsite is only about three hrs
away.
The next day, the journey to the summit
continues. A 6 hrs journey, it is very tough. Not only physically strong, a mountaineer
should also be mentally persistent. Along the journey, the only suitable resting place
is Sg Parah, about 3 hrs from the campsite. Please take note that this is also the last
waterpoint available. But don't worry, because the Summit is near. After walking for about
2 hrs, you will arive at the Summit. CONGRATULATION!!! The view is really breathtaking. You can
see in all directions, that this is really a beautiful place to be. Just forget your
tireness, refresh your mind with the scenery.
After spending the night at the Summit,
which is very cold, now is the time to scale down. The journey today is to Kg Kuala Mu.
The trek is about 6 hrs long......downhill. That is the interesting part. Usually, campers
camp for the night, either at the Kg or near the waterfall, depending on their preferences.
It is unadvisable to undertake the journey to Sg Siput at night, because you never know
what you might encounter (and this is really TRUE!!!).
Come daybreak, this is the time when we will
say "Goodbye" to Mount Yong Yap and Kg Kuala Mu. From Sg Siput, you can either take a bus
or train which are available back to where you come from.
COMING SOON....
Route 2: Kg Hussein
