Waterfall slide at Gunung Stong, Kelantan

Gunung Stong, Kelantan, Kuala Krai, Jelawang 

4-5th August 2017

We depart from Kuala Terengganu around 11pm and arrive at R&R Jelawang the next 5 hour. After breakfast we start hiking to Baha Camp (Kem Baha). Its take around 2 hour from the carpark area to the Kem Baha. As the area are quite flat, near to the water source, this area are very suitable for camping site area. In this area located Jelawang waterfall (300m) and at the some point you can slide down throught the waterfall. However be carefull, the rock was quite slippery.

At another point, you can see the top view of Jelawang village above the waterfall. What the most interesting is, during the sunrise, there are breathtaking view of the cloud.

After dinner, we have icebreaking session with all the other partipant.

We start our hiking to the peak og Gunung Tebu around 10.00am, after clear the campsite area and put all our belonging at the safety site we continue our hiking. There are two point where the intersection trek to Gunung Ayam and aother trek to Gunung Stong. The group from Kuala Lumpur (30 peoples) that we met at the Kem Baha will follow Gunung Ayam trek meanwhile for us we used Gunung Stong trek. The trek was not so easy, as sometimes we need to pass throught the muddy area, full of bush and as its near to the peak, the forest floor are full of treet roots, and it’s is difficult when we need climb the hill. If im not mistaken, there are two water point, first at the cave area, and the second at mossy waterpoint area. Both areas have beautiful sight.

We reach the peak around 12.00pm, actually the peak was located on the rock where we need to climb the rock first. This area was quite cool especially when there are wind blow in this area. What the most thing that I like at this peak was, if you are lucky, you can saw many squirrel/ chipmunk looking for the food here. Well, during our time, we just met 3 chipmunk here. click the link below for the videos of them.

After clean ourself and have our dinner at the nearest restaurant we going back to Kuala Terengganu.
