      The permit is RM 5.00 per head court, you could apply with above contact given and check with them on guide contact as well.

      You can either camp or rent a chalet in Hutan Lipur Cheromong as well. That's what we did before the day before start hiking.

    Hi, the journey you shared was very awesome! I plan to follow your path tentative in mid of this year.

    I checked your garmin's page, but it doesn't allow me to download the GPX file. Is there any way to get the GPX file? I want to use it on my GPS watch too.

    Thanks for your kind sharing. Cheers!

      Hi Azroy,

      I believe it can be done in 2D1N, just stay one night in Langsir and back to carpark on day2. Plenty of time.

      But I would advise you spend more time on this trip, not because of the difficult of the trail for long day hike but beauty and relax trip you will love it.

    Hello Mchiker,

    I'm always feel fascinating by read your blog, all your hike were amazing, with details information and photo provided, that's really helps lots of the newbie or hikers who haven't been to that place.

    I download the GPS Trail log from you blog, however it show empty/no data in my phone app as well as garmin basecamp software.

    I was wondering do you mind to share your CBL GPS Log file to me? As I plan to go there.

    I did email you at mailbox.mchiker@gmail.com , not sure if you received it ?

    Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

    Leong

      Hi Awan,

      Honestly, Although CBL is not much of ascent but then you might carry with heavy load backpack especially on the Day one (Car Park - Camp Balak) and (Camp Sungai Y to Berembun Summit). Therefore, training is still required.

      Sharing weight with your teammate (tent / stove & gas / food etc) and get your checklist ready on what to bring.

      Permit is require but guide I'm not too sure with the new requirement. You may double confirm with "Jabatan Perhutanan Negeri Terengganu" while you apply the permit.
