Gunung Tebu / Mount Tebu - My First mountain

GUNUNG TEBU / MOUNT TEBU - MY FIRST MOUNTAIN
Mount Tebu (3401 feet) is my first mountain, a beautiful mountain that gave a lasting impression on me. I climb Mount Tebu in 1994 in a program organized by my school alumni with cooperation one of Persatuan Mendaki in Terengganu. For me, Mount Tebu is unique that incomparable with other mountain until now. It’s here that I got my first self taught lesson of how to climb a mountain. I was unprepared for rain at campsite that caused some of my clothes got wet, without any side ration (jajan) on the climb drain all my energy before reaching the peak, anyhow perseverance gave my first peak anyway successfully. I climb for second time in 2007, a lot of thing change since my first climb. My previous used water point has disappeared and at some area shrub is getting higher.

Mount Tebu located in the Forest Reserve of Gunung Tebu (Mount Tebu),in Daerah Besut (District Besut) . Climb Mount Tebu normally start from Lata Belatan (belatan waterfall) an easy flowing rapid flow from forest reserve. The water is tranquil green enchanting a lot of visitor during weekend. Trekking to the peak would take around 6-7 hours for average full pack climber. Toilet, camping ground and even chalet are provided at Lata Belatan. To climb Mount Tebu you need permission from Terengganu Forestry Department. It is better to write in for a formal permission as there are times the mount would be closed for maintenance or tournament preparation purposes. Every climber have to pay RM 5 climbing permit at Forestry boot located at Lata Belatan.

How to be there
Lata Belatan is located 24km from Jerteh town and 110km from Kuala Terengganu. For those who drive, look for small junction on your right if you are from Jerteh at Cowboy town of Jabi – not actually a town but can be identified by a row of small wooden shop house and a open market. The junction is quite concealed with small tree and roadside stall. From the junction visitor have to go for another 2km of small road trough malay village and rubber plantation. For those travel with public transportation, Jerteh is main destination of main express bus from Kuala Lumpur, Kota Bharu, Kuala Terengganu etc. Stages bus and taxi ply this road between Jerteh and Kuala Terengganu.

Kijang Jatuh Waterfall

This beautiful waterfall is located in permanent forest reserve of Kenaboi Kuala Kelawang Negeri Sembilan. The Drop is about 40meter. The stream is small flowing to bigger river that also be ideal place for kayak route which there is a group specialized on this activity here – Kenaboi Adventure Group. There is Radix camp here cater for leisure camper to experience natural surrounding. The Camp got it name from TV commercial of Radix coffee which was filmed around the camp. The only access road to here is through 6 feet wide tarred road from Kampung Chennah, but the condition is not so good with some part already turned back into just bare road and the terrain at some part is quite steep. To travel up to this waterfall by car is not advisable. Highly modified lowered race car is totally out and you need at least a higher height clearance vehicle such as SUV. Transport services by 4wd vehicles such Hilux are available. Return trip would cost RM300 per truck, but the cost could be higher or lower based on your bargaining skills. If you got RM300 price believe me that already reasonable. The journey by 4wd from Kg Chennah will be through durian orchard, rubber plantation, Orang Asli settlements and secondary forest for more than 1 hour. Kijang Jatuh waterfall is located at feet of Mount Besar Hantu. To start trekking from this waterfall to the Mountain would go through steel ladder of more than 200 steps stairs which is have steep of more than 50%. Normally mountaineer would start from starting point before the waterfall that would have a gradual ascend. Either through long trail but less demanding with gradual ascend or shortest one but torturing steep one. Normally trekker would climb through higher trail and finish at waterfall on the way down. The reward of this beautiful waterfall at end of journey make trip to Mount Besar Hantu is a special one. To make it more special – plan the trip in durian fruit seasons…

Outdoor Photos - Malaysia Mountains and Peaks

Ever heard of this saying “take nothing except photos and leave nothing except your foot prints”, I could not agree more with that, what more it should be cultured up to spine of every person. So that no one would naively feel their right to take out anything they found from our rainforest jungle. I’m not against practice of harvesting jungle produce and swine hunting but it should be done sensibly and reserve area really meant to be reserved. I have no trophy brought home from mountains but these photos that would remind me back of those memories..
