Kledang hill road hiking (2)
Going from the first station to the summit wasn't really that hard, depending on your strength. I believe @chaingmai.hhh and the group can do this easily
The whole road track can be completed within 2 hours as many would claim. Some foreigner even claimed two ways for 2 hours and 45 minutes. I wish I can do that, but I don't want my friend Lap to carry me down.
There's multiple layers of mountain from this view point. We decided to take a rest and enjoy the view a little. Actually not once, we stopped multiple times so I can continue.
After many "last curve", and many more "next will be last", we finally hit the "last curve" as we already saw the tower besides us.
I got a little disappointed by the summit as I was expecting more. However, I guess that's life. Enjoying the journey is way more important than the actual "achievement" I guess.
The tower doesn't look that huge at all. It looks a lot bigger from where my dad's house saw this. We started to wonder if we climb the right mountain.
Soon as we turned around, nah!!! It's another curve! The real summit tower is at the back!
Like all the broadcasting tower, they're restricted. How I wish if they are the HHH stops, so we can have a beer stop at each tower. LOL
Oh wait. I don't drink beer that much anymore. I wish those are coffee houses. We brought along our drink and have a good time there.
We spent some good time together, chit chatting a little and getting ready to go off. Soon as we turn to the first corner, and we saw the signboard saying trespasser will be prosecuted. I guess, it means no trespassing the jungle?
Going up hill is hard enough, but going down is another level of pain and stress to the ankle and knee. I'm trying my best to control, so I can reduce the impact.
We pass by Gazebo view point and decided to pass. I really can't climb more stairs. I think I can still climb, but I'm worry if I unable to get down.
Took another short rest to sort out the socks and adjusting the shoes. Each step I take, I can feel the pinch between my toes. I'm not making excuse, but I really need to train more.
We divert to the small garden between the workout platform and the small garden. There's a Buddha statue there and this is probably my last visit.
Just before I go, I turned around and take one last photo of the garden and beat good bye. I'm not sure if the government will be successfully taking "back" this place. Let's hope this is not the last time.
Getting into Kledang hill isn't really that hard. It's situated at the south east side of Ipoh City, the capital city of Perak State of Malaysia. Get a Grab, our local e-hailing that dominates the market by kicking off Uber, is now one of the most convenient way for transport. Do note that there's 2 different hiking trail at the other side of the hill. The one with public roads is less difficult, but can take your own sweet time to enjoy the scene. I have included both location at below on Google maps. The one I'm putting up with Pinmapple is the road hiking parking lot. And I need to highlight, despite there's available public toilet, but it's not what you think(or stink), and you'll have to use your finger to do the trick. Don't ask me, use your imagination. Before you go, make sure you let off as much as you can, and go easy on your bottles or you're going to have a hard time.
One last thing, despite there telecommunication tower is at the hill, but the coverage is broadcasted AWAY. Getting in via e-hailing is not a problem. Once you're done enjoying the hill, you really gotta be creative to find a spot with better coverage, so you can use your app to hail for a ride to go back out to "earth".

Hi @davidke20 , I'm reading your post, looking at the photos, everything is perfect, suddenly I see this, hey, that nail is very long, I hope I'm wrong and it's not your hand, well I always have short nails, maybe it's a new trend and I'm losing from this , however it is better not to enter this trend .
Ignore me if the comment bothers you, you know they are very detailed, as one of my friends says, I have eagle eyes, a hug and happy day
Thanks buddy. I don't purposely keep the nails, but I usually trim them every 2 to 3 months.
It's very beautiful at Kledang hill, and you really captured the essence of this place's beauty with these photos.
Those scenic shots with the sun rays coming out of the clouds in all different ways are so good, these are some of the nicest photo's you've taken.
The best part is you're out there getting some exercise and making good life choices. It's great to see you maintaining your health and leisure despite how stressful the past couple years have been, and I think that's a great show of character.
Keep on rockin' 🤘
Thanks buddy. That's because all the rant is at the 1st episode couple of days ago 🤣 the man (government) is going to "collect" back this place. From July onwards, they're going to collect a fee from the public. I was the one who recently paid up my tax, wasn't too happy because the forest reserve is supposed to be maintained by tax payors money, and not having an ass hole sitting at the door side collecting door fee.
So yeah, I'm glad I spoil the mood again 🤣
👍👍
謝謝
The view at the top is spectacular.
Am sure there's a lot more better mountains in East Malaysia 😁
Hi, hi. Bro I wanna to support you. I can't put in my comments that the mountains here are better.
It turns out that the mountains in Malaysia are very beautiful too, Brother @davidke20 😁
It's partly because both our country is in the tropical zone. You can count on the rich jungle
Yes of course, the highlands in our country have very beautiful Natural Beauty. 😁
Well, the tower isn't necessarily a beautiful site, but for the best signal I guess it makes sense. It does like other than the tower there were some breathtaking views and interesting sites. Imagine a Hash that made coffee stops instead of beer stops, after the fourth round everyone would be shaking, hearts palpitating, ready for fight or flight 😁.
I've been to several of the hash event previously, mainly lamb roast, ice cubes, beers are the motivation.
Caffeine is a well known stimulus. Modern bodybuilder even use it as pre-workout supplement. And caffeine was once banned by the Olympics 😁
The only set back to change beer to coffee being, HHH will probably lost all of their members due to lack of the happy substance existed in those urine color beverages 🤣
