Hello all. Dan here, co-founder of Gunung Bagging.
After a very successful 5-week trip to Malaysia in 2023, I am already in the early stages of planning a series of hikes for next year. July and early August 2024. As permits need taking care of early and some treks require 4WD to reach the trailheads, I am going to open these trips to other participants now and registration will close very early too, probably February 2024.
Provisional outline – dates available on request:
MALAYSIAN BORNEO (Sabah) Early July 2024
Day-hike on Crocker Range to Minduk Sirung. Start/finish in Kota Kinabalu.
MALAYSIAN BORNEO (Sarawak) Early July 2024
Mulu Park – Pinnacles hike. Start/finish Kota Kinabalu Airport or Miri Airport. CONFIRMED! JUST 2 SPACES AVAILABLE!
Bario – Batu Lawi hike. Start/finish Miri Airport.
PENINSULAR MALAYSIA from July 12th onwards, dates TBC.
Numerous hikes including Gunung Benum, Gunung Rabong, Gunung Irau (Cameron Highlands), Gunung Chamah, Kenderong-Kerunai, Pulai-Baling, Gunung Ulu Sepat, Gunung Yong Yap, Bukit Unyang, Gunung Rajah, Telapak Buruk, Gunung Besar (Endau Rompin).
The hikes are strictly non-commercial (aside from paying the professional guides) and costs will be split equally and fairly. Deposits will be taken once trips are confirmed with guides. Given how time-consuming planning is, these deposits are non-refundable except in the event of us cancelling. You need to arrange your own travel insurance and be experienced and properly prepared.
