Exploring Reverse Trans Yong Yap,
Bubu, Tok Nenek
July, 16~18 2015
Gunung Yong Yap with the high of 2167 meters a.s.l. The
mountain is part of the Titiwangsa Range located in near Perak; it is the 6th
highest point in Peninsula Malaysia.
There are many ways can go to Gunung Yong Yap summit:-
- Via Kuala Mu (from Lasah) – Pondok 1 – Pondok 2 – Anak Yong Yap – LWP – Yong Yap Summit (3D2N)
- Via Pos Regil – Y Junction – Camp Agas – Camp Sungai Y – Camp Balak Pecah – Camp Simpang Y – Yong Yap Summit (3D2N)
- Via Trans from Kuala Mu ~ Pos Regil / Pos Regil ~ Kuala Mu (4D3N / 3D2N)
- Via Reverse Trans from Pos Regil (4D3N / 3D2N)
- Via Trans V2 (8D7N)
We decided to do 3 days 2 nights Reverse Trans Yong Yap,
Bubu, Tok Nenek this round to explore the 2 trails condition from Pos Regil.
The trail was tough with all the fallen tree trunks, sharp-edged bamboos,
thorny trees and branches, crossed more than 30 streams and rivers on both
trails. The finally part was extremely steep and tough trails where I
considered to be one of the most toughest treks in Malaysia.
Our initial plan for day one shall camp at Puncak Kambing
which is just 10 minutes after Tok nenek, we could enjoy a nice sunset and
sunrise with 360 degree view. Due to we start off a bit delay and the
Asli guide told us that Camp Belumut could be the last water point to Yong Yap
Summit if the low point (LWP) water is not clear enough, we decided to camp in
Camp Belumut on the first night.
Day 2 was really challenging to us; although it was just 6.4
KM distance but we crossed a few peaks from Camp Belumut to Yong Yap Summit.
Day 3 was a long journey with the distance of 18 KM
all the way from Yong Yap Summit to Pos Regil, crossing through more than 20
times on small streams and rivers, ended with a walk of "Never Ending
Road".

What apps that u use?
ReplyDeleteLogging the GPS data, I'm using Garmin Fenix 3 past one year. Before this were either GPS Hiker for IOS and My Tracks for Andriod.
DeleteViewing and analysis on Desktop I'm using BaseCamp
hi may I know, is there a trail if we just want to go to gunung tok nenek only? and how long does it take? can it be done by daytrip? Need your advice
ReplyDeleteGoing Tok Nenek would follow the same trail as my day 1 & day 2 trail. Just U turn at Tok nenek and follow the same trail back to starting point.
DeleteDay trip is doable but depends on personal fitness
