Trip Kak Long: Maragang

Bismillah...

This was something we planned to do before our trip to Nepal; just an easy trail hiking before the real thing. Everybody was busy as our Nepal trip was approaching and our individual training were very minimal so we forced this one to happen a week before we departed.

I found out about this trail somewhere after our camping trip and got the contacts from a friend. Thought it was not too strenuous and very suitable since I think the possibility of injury should be near to none. It was just that, since we have to start early in the morning, it was better to spend a night in Kundasang. 



We rented the Sulap Homestay which was only a walking distance from the trail registration office. Very cozy and spacious for 9 of us. It was just that there was only one toilet inside the house so it took us quite some time to get prepared in the morning 


Initially we planned to do flying fox in Malangkap and after that take a dip in the river before we check-in in the afternoon. But when we arrived, the mountain was already covered by clouds so we saved that for another day.


Did a cliche that evening; visit the cattle farm! 
That night we had BBQ and they played the werewolf thingy again but this time they tried using the app instead of the cards. I didn't join them because I was busy looking after the sambal which took forever to cook!!!! We swore not to cook in future trips to Kundasang. Goreng ayam pon lambat masak (-_-")

Btw, we preferred the cards compare to the app. Last time, after each of us already got our roles, we tried to convince other players why we shouldn't be killed before the voting commence. And then you get to defend yourself  when you are accused as the werewolf. For the app, people just vote you out based on gut feelings hahaha so there were less debate and drama 



We registered around 6.30 am the next morning. 
There are two trails; the normal one and the loop. I later found out that the loop offers a better view but we didn't do that this time due to limited time.

At this time, the fees are like
Conservation fee: RM 7/pax
Guide: RM 50/5 pax
Transportation: RM 30




The trail was easy and a magnificent view awaits at the top. 
The only mistake that we did was.... we didn't bring any food to the top and man we were starving. Dengan x malunya mengintu makanan hiker2 lain yg tidak dikenali hahahaha

We were back at the homestay around 12 pm and what was supposed to be our breakfast became our lunch. Kering nasi lemak kak long tau... T_T

Luckily we were allowed for late check-out since there was no guest after that (^^)
