Training and preparation for big hiking expedition - Mount Tambuyukon part 7

Training and preparation for big hiking expedition - Mount / Gunung Tambuyukon part 7

Never underestimate any mountain, even a low one.. even bukit tabor has it own challenge.. even more for Mount Tambuyukon or known as Gunung Tambuyukon, a third highest mountain in Malaysia. Furthermore this expedition would cost me more than RM600++, i would not want to risk the chance to conquer Mount Tambuyukon succesfully and not suffering in the process heh heh.. it's not just money that matter but to find time, low cost ticket, syncronise  planning with schedule of other group member, family commitment and all other commitments.. i would want to risk this opportunity to scale Mount Tambuyukon. Then training is essential. With only one month left  before the real expedition.. just after fasting month and all still in Hari Raya mood and with so many open house invitation, finding suitable date to gather all members for a training is tough. Nevertheless, by hook or by crook i have toorganize at least two trip. Even this is only a day trip it's better than nothing, it's just matter of how to make the training suitable in conditioning for the real trip. Mount Nuang is chosen for it close location with Klang Valley while offer challenging  trail for climber. Several aspects to consider;

1. It simulate as real situation as possible
2. It involve weight training.. trail running never match hiking with over 10kg on your back
3. Involve all expedition member - to develop team siprit
4. Give enough time for muscle to recover before real expedition. at least one week before, so you can hike with fresh leg.

Mount Tambuyukon Permit Approved & Payment part 4

Climbing permit already approved by Sabah park last week. It comes will detail of our supposed group movement and campsite to camp. In total; payment payable to Sabah park is RM2804

Permit - 12pax x RM100 = 1200
Insurance - 16 pax x RM7 x 4day =RM448 (we have overseen this unfortunately that we have to cover insurance cost for guide.. i.e for 4 guides.. would be additonal cost of RM10 per pax)
Guide fee 70x 4pax x 4 days =RM1120
Entrance Fee RM3 x 12pax =RM36

I hope to collect at least deposit payment from all participants at the end of this month.. after that can spread the balance payment into two ; at the end of august and september..

Permits for mount tambuyukon expedition was approved on friday, got faxed copy from Sabah Park of detailed approval letter which mention condition of the permit.. Thanks Sabah Park, especially to En Roslizan and En Thomas. Luckily application for 12 climber was approved-after lenghty of persuasion he he he, truly that is the maximun number of climber per expedition that Sabah Park could approved while the normal maximun limit would be 10 climbers. 6 or 12 climber would be ideal number to optimize cost involved, since allowable number is only 10 then 6 members per group is the good one.

XPDC MOUNT TAMBUYUKON & SABAH BORNEO 1-8 NOV 2009 part 1

Dear all friends



You are invited to join Mt.Tambuyukon expedition from 1st to 5th November 2009. Sabah Park has restricted only up to 12 climbers can climb the mountain per trip. To optimise cost involved such as guide and 4wd, ideal no of participant should be 6 or 12 climbers. Up to date we already got 10 confirmed climbers.. so only 2 place left, reservation would be on first come first serve basis with deposit of RM170 not inclusive of flight ticket.



The tentative of the trip consist of 4 days on the mountain and another 3 days for santai activities, all can summarized as below:



Day 1 -Touchdown kk airport - Ranau - 4wd - monggis renjer station

Day 2 - Monggis station - Camp Kepuakan

Day 3 - Kepuakan Camp – Musang camp (last water point)- General Camp

Day 4 - General Camp – Peak – Kepuakan Camp

Day 5 - Kepuakan Camp - monggis renjer station - 4wd - KK


Day 6 - Snorkeling at islands around Tengku Abd Rahman parks / layan sunset Tanjung Aru beach

Day 7 - Visiting Culture Village Monsopiad & jalan2 or White water rafting

Day 8 - Santai, tamu gaya street, take off


Normally climbers from peninsular would combine Mt Tambuyukon and Mt Trusmadi (2days) 0r Mt Kinabalu (2 days 2 night SSL has made it compulsory to stay at Kinabalu Park on first night) in their climbing trip to Sabah to minimize flight cost. I strongly encourage that if you are in rush to complete your collection of G12 to boost, before your marriage committment hold you down or flight cost is main important aspect to you, but nowadays with airlines competing to lower their price the benefit is now on your side, no worry the Mountains will not run away.. one thing to ponder.. Sabah not only famous with its mountain range.. a lot more to explore with its fantastic island and beaches, diving, challenging white water rafting, and unique culture to experience, places to visit. If mountains is your only motivation you miss half of outdoor fun is. Make it fun it good for you so won't have to take another rest day after the holiday..


You can continue with Mt. Kinabalu (recommended near with Ranau) or Mt. Trusmadi (Tambunan) if you wish but more important is we'll climb Mt tambuyukon together.


Cost flight of RM136 is proviso with MAS promotion ticket you even may get lower price, try to shooping around. If want to bookby yourselt try to get flight MAS MH2604 7.30am together with the main group. If different flight try to ensure your arrival is before 11am because the group will depart to Ranau at 12 noon.


Actual cost may change depend on flight ticket price, number of participant, and number of day stay
