"This is my 2nd time hiking. It costed me RM250 for 4D3N trip from Merapoh. Total trip distance is 30KM. Before hiking, the hiker will declare their belonging including underwear as well. Anyone who fails to declare the same amount after the trip will be compounded for RM50 per item (that's what they say). There will be 4 river crossing and the last one is about a chest deep. I was thinking, I should've brought a tube or something to prevent my bag from soaking with water. On the way to the Bukit Botak, there will be several places of (about 10 or so) plowing, yes plowing like on a rice field due to the rain. I went with my sandal, and on the way back from the summit, it lost some of its straps. There will be no bathroom or shower room up at the base camp and after the trip, I get diarrhea for about 3 weeks. " — kakteh • Nov 3, 2018

"Normally one climbs the peak in 4 days from water intake Tanjung Rambutan. It climbed to the summit and back in 13 hours, alone, remembering the trail when we (a friend and I) had climbed the peak in 2 days with an Orang Asli guide from the village of Selo 2 (name at that time)" — martinlutterjohann • Nov 11, 2017

"Climbing Mount Korbu at Perak was one of the best hiking moment in my life. My first attempt to this mountain was on 2006, and it's already dark at that time. Was forced to hike and escorting people to the summit without any food with us. Luckily there's a group camped at the summit and offer us a hot drinks." — nkamri • Feb 3, 2006

"Gunung Gayong for me is the most challenging summit to be conquered since there's no other way you can reach it else than climbing from Gunung Korbu, Gunung Yong Belar or Gunung Yong Yap. Listed in the 7 highest mountain in Peninsular Malaysia, the journey to this mountain can be considered as hardcore. My first summit was on 9th Feb 2005. Complete log of this expedition is safe with me for own reference only. Pictures taken was safely saved in one of our friends blog-site.

"My first trail blazing expedition to re-open the route that connects four highest mountains in Peninsular Malaysia which are Mount Yong Yap, Mount Korbu, Mount Gayong and Mount Yong Belar. So this is the first mountain we climb before proceed to enter the most notorious Titiwangsa Range trail at that time. We call this expedition as Trans Titiwangsa V2 (Version 2), from Mount Yong Yap to Mount Yong Belar." — nkamri • Feb 5, 2005
