Mt. Irau: Day 1

Just a small group, Celyn, Chi Xin Lou & sis, Ah Ee, Enigmaz and I planned to celebrate the Wesak Day on the peak of mt. Irau. Perhaps I could escape from the hot and hazy weather in Klang... We reached Cameron Highland on the 17th of May and stayed a night at a low budget hotel in Brinchang town. Let me tell you how "low" is the low budget hotel. Our room was just right above a steamboat restaurant causing the smoke entered into our room everytime there're customers. The whole room was oily and smelly and I just feel like it's better to spend a night at the campsite. However, I managed to get through the horrible night and no more low budget hotel for me.

On 18th will be our 1st day of mt. Irau trip. In the morning, we had our breakfast in Brinchang and moved on to the BOH teahouse. We took our time enjoying the scenary of the tea farm as the hike to the peak of mt. Irau will jsut consume about 3hrs ++...

After the tea break, we went to the starting point of mt. Irau hiking route which loacted not far from the teahouse. The time was 15:00 and it was foggy. By that time, there were alot of vehicle parked there. Seems like there were still alot of hikers...



The route was easy... We just need to cross the 1st mountain and climb the next mountian.



Scenary at the starting was a regular scene... Just like any other forest.



It was cooling and hardly sweat...



As we went on trekking, the forest turned mossy. Most of the branches were covered by moss... Geli kan?



Like LOTR kan..?



We trekked along the small stones which indicate the Perak-Pahang border line. Raincoat became a route marker too... LOL....



It seems like late evening in the jungle...



By 18:20, we (except Chi Xin Lou & sis) reached to a campsite which we thought it was the peak... Immediately the tent was up and prepared for dinner. Not until Chi Xin Lou and his sis arrived, he said what were we doing there. That wasn't the peak..! LOL... However, we decided to spend a night there. Still remaining an hour walk to reach the peak and the we're around 2km above sea level...



That night Chi Xin Lou has prepared a special menu which he just learned... Every can't wait to taste it... Just look at the amount of the canned food for 6 person you'll know the result... LOL...



While waiting the food to cook, everyone get ready the lights and torch as the day turned dark.

Chi Xin Lou: Watch out this stuff, you might go nuts...



EnigmaZ : I GOT THE POWER..!
Chi Xin Lou: Mahai..! You shoot me, I shoot you back..!



About 50min later, our dinner was ready... Hungry ghosts from the Hell Gate attacking the food...



Seriously, the kow kow rojak rice was exteremly salty... The chicken soup was nice...



When comes to hunger, no matter how salty the food is, I hantam also...



Middle of the night, no clubbing, no disco, no fengtau... What else, chor dai di la...
