Gunung Lambak Day Trip 18 July

Gunung Lambak is a popular day trek destination with the locals and rises 510m above sea levels. The trek is an upward climb with lots of scrambling but should be completed in approximately 2-3 hours for a hiker of reasonable fitness. There is a radio tower and a shelter at the summit. From the summit, you will be able to get a birds eye view of the town of Kluang. Photo-opportunities are available with a sign that indicates that the trekker is at the summit.

Though this is considered a beginner's trail, it can be quite intense due to the steep climb (if you're less fit). Staircase climbing training is required to enjoy the trek. (You are welcome to join the bunch of us who are training for a few other treks or for general fitness at the 40-storey flats in Toa Payoh)

What's Next?

BOAT is over. What's next? Gunung Lambak. Its the "Bukit Timah" of the locals there, only three times higher. A great workout anytime. Shouldn't we be scaling greater heights? Definitely. We'd like to take it slow and to think big but start small. A few of us will be visiting Semeru, Kinabalu and India come August. We've got many interesting programmes lined up.
