Challenges of this trip
1. Agas-agas(sand flies) at Kem Lanweng, it was very irritating. Itches for several weeks
2. Very unlucky to bump into a group of un-sporting hikers from KL who do not like to share campsite,
unfriendly, talk bad about others and are so "kia-su" they would hike so fast to the summit to take up all the
best places. Really disappointed to know there are such a type of hikers
3. It rained most of the time during our descend
4. It rained very heavily from Pos Kemar to TNB Jetty, it was a very cold 2 hrs on the boat.
Cost
Overall cost per person was RM166.65(driver) + RM17.65(for passenger)
Summary
I like Ulu Sepat. It is has some very beautiful mossy forest. The hike difficulty level is perhaps equivalent
to the other G mountains like Yong Yap, slightly harder than Chamah.
But I don't think I would ever wanna go back to Ulu Sepat because of the notorious sandflies, they were
ruthless.
