Grab life by the horns at Kledang Hill. For some, life is never always about playing on the safe side. It takes unfamiliar grounds to take one to the edge. Rummage the uphill rainforest trail with us and discover your limits while we watch over you.
The romp will not only take your breath away but gives it back to you in the form of panoramic scene of Kinta Valley from its hilltop. You stand to loose a couple of pounds along the way too.
To intrepid hikers in the know, Kledang Hill Range’s route “49”, the toughest but most scenic trek, passes uncharted territory and peculiar rainforest hoodoos. Take heart, we know the turf like the back our hands. The most gratifying part of the trail is making personal connection with a jungle that has been around for 130 million years. Watch your steps.
See the largest ant (measuring 2.0cm) and the smallest pitcher plant (the size of a human thumbnail) on its forest floor. We will safely lead you over root-rutted terrain, small streams and muscle-jolting steeps. Since tall forest canopies provide relief from the tropical sun and we take as many breaks as you want along the way, make your ascend slow and blend into the forest. Kledang’s best kept secret will soon become yours as well.
This is a HALF-DAY excursion.
