My Australian Group of 5 pax enjoyed themselves. Early morning is the best to go to this place and you can find many people trekking so the chances of getting lost is remote but stay in course. And don’t venture too far away from the normal route. A map can be obtained from most of the Hotels or from tourist information centre

I will start off by saying that I strongly recommend you book a tour with a local tour guide for two reasons. 1. They will most likely drive you up in a Land Rover or other such vehicle that will be well suited the winding, narrow road that leads up to the forest and 2. You will gain invaluable knowledge that the guide has cultivated over years. I booked my tour through Father's Guest House where I was staying and Raju was my tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and shared the names of most of the plants in English (UK and Canadian), Malay, and Chinese! He also shared lots of knowledge on the ecology of the forest and conservation as well. It is best to do this on a clear day otherwise you will be stuck in the clouds as that altitude is sometimes also known as cloud forest. But the views from the top are amazing and it is some good exercise to walk up and down all the stairs.

Goes through a construction site at first, then a really nice flat forested bit, then starts climbing (still in forest). Climbing is well supported by tree roots, and the whole trail is well shaded by trees. Decently marked, but use maps.me to be sure you don't get lost. Took us about 2 hours, but we went slowly.

We did the path no 1 in Dezember 2019. We used the maps.me offline card to navigate. We hitchhiked from Taha Rata to the start point. It was quite easy to find the start of no 1 with the maps.me navigation. The hike itself is not easy. A lot up and downs, climbing over fallen trees. At some point were ropes and we were happy to use them. This path guided you through jungle, the mossy forest and you also have to walk through a small river. You don‘t see any tea plantages on the way up. And some point we‘re not sure if we were still on path no1 but after 4 hours of walking we ended on the parking place of the mossy forest and hitchhiked back to the city. Ps: There are some signs at the EXIT that the path is closed from November - January... but yeah we saw the sign after we did the path and everything was fine.

For garden enthusiasts who love to chat about plants. Mr and Mrs Tan are a bit eccentric and love to show their collection of medicinal / culinary herbs and flowers. Lots of things you won't see in Malaysian lowlands. Messy and kinda charming in a very grown-in way. This is very different from the tacky touristy locations in Cameron Highlands. Next to the entrance of Jungle Trail 10. Unfortunate that a government housing project is causing havoc nearby. A rare and more personal experience here. Visit before it's too late.
