Exploring Bukit Galla via Kampung Tekir Mentera

March, 11 2017

Once again revisit Batu Pecah but this round try to explore the new trail via Kampung Tekir Mentera and attempt to Bukit Galla Peak. The trail head just beside the main road without any signboard (Refer to the picture below). The parking area could allocate few cars. Starting trail with rubber tree plantation and ascent slowing. Among the way with ribbon marking and signboard. Credits to the previous team whom provide the trail direction. That are many small path in between and you got to follow the ribbon marking carefully. 

After an hour plus we reached the "Y" junction to unknown peak and plantation trail. Just continue few minutes will lead you to Batu Pecah.

    1. Hi Ram,

      No permit is require...but unfortunately, trail from Kampung Tekir Mentera is no longer access. Know that they don't allow to access the trail anymore.

      Ribbon marking has been removed from on "T" junction to Bukit Pecah, whether that is ribbon marking from starting point to "T" junction or not...I'm not too sure.
