Gunung Ledang (Mt.Ophir)

Last week I did a short trek with a group of 4 other friends to Gunung Ledang (Mt.Ophir) in Johor state of Malaysia. Despite having highest fatalities in the region, it is the most climbed mountain in the whole of Malaysia.

Gunung Ledang is at an height of 1276 mts (4187 ft) ASL and is one of the toughest trek mountains. The one way trek up from approx 100+ mts to 1200+ mts altitude alone took us about 6hrs including variuos photo stops and rest breaks.

As usual the trek was full of fun and adventure. Since I'm very busy at the moment, I'll let my pictures speak more :)

Mount Kinabalu - Album

Finally spared some time to go through the photos, sort them off, pick a few and upload them to the album. The good part is that the photos are not from my camera. Most of them belong to the other friends in the group while mine are still sleeping inside the camera's memory card ;-) Thanks to all the friends for these photos :)

Here is the link of the album.

Mt.Kinabalu - Via Ferrata

Many of them asked me why I was doing the same mountain again. The reason was Via Ferrata. Via Ferrata is the toughest of the various routes on Mt.Kinabalu. It needs no fear of heights but guts and confidence. Of course, good physical fitness is mandatory.

Via Ferrata is derived from the Italian words Via Attrezzata which mean route supported by hand rails, ladders, cables and lifelines. Via Ferrata at Mt.Kinabalu is known as Mountain Torque and scales the height from 3200mts to 3800 mts ASL. This is the only one in Asia and incidentally happens to be the highest in the world.

Our eight members group had a fantastic time together with lots of fun & adventure. Yet another unforgettable trek in my life.
