Hiking up Mount Rinjani, Indonesia 🇮🇩🥾⛰️
#gohiking
Hiking up Mount Rinjani in Lombok, Indonesia, is an exhilarating adventure filled with breathtaking landscapes and physical challenges. As the second highest volcano in Indonesia, standing at 3,726 meters above sea level, Mount Rinjani offers a spectacular panorama of lush forests, crater lakes, and sweeping vistas of neighboring islands.
The journey begins with a trek through dense tropical rainforests, alive with the sounds of exotic birds and wildlife. As you ascend, the terrain becomes more rugged, with steep slopes and rocky trails testing your endurance. Along the way, you'll encounter picturesque waterfalls and traditional Sasak villages, providing glimpses into the local way of life.
Reaching the summit requires determination and stamina, but the reward is unparalleled. From the summit, you'll witness a breathtaking sunrise over the island-studded waters below, casting a golden hue over the surrounding landscape. Descending into the crater, you'll encounter the stunning Segara Anak Lake, a serene oasis nestled within the volcanic caldera. Hiking Mount Rinjani is not just a physical feat, but a spiritual journey through one of Indonesia's most magnificent natural wonders.
With caution and proper preparation, hikers can conquer Rinjani's rugged trails and savor its breathtaking vistas.
Climbing Mount Kinabalu 🇲🇾🥾⛰️
#gohiking
Mount Kinabalu, Malaysia's towering peak, offers an unforgettable hiking experience from lush jungles to its rugged summit at 4095 meters. Limited daily ascents ensure safety, though summit success isn't guaranteed. While prior trekking experience helps, adequate preparation is vital.
Mandatory guides provide assistance, including load carrying for a fee. The common 2D1N package involves staying at Panalaban base camp before the sunrise summit ascent, promoting acclimatization. Extending the trip with an extra night at Kinabalu Park further reduces altitude sickness risk. Hiking during the dry season (January-April, August-October) is advisable to avoid weather-related closures, despite potential water scarcity at Panalaban.
Packing essentials and warm clothing is essential due to dropping temperatures. Though smaller backpacks suffice, adhering to official recommendations ensures comfort. Despite challenges, Mount Kinabalu promises an exhilarating adventure for hiking enthusiasts.
The Beautiful Hike Up Mount Merbabu 🥾⛰️
#gohiking
Mount Merbabu in Indonesia is a haven for adventurers and nature lovers, offering exhilarating trekking routes with varying degrees of difficulty and stunning rewards. The journey typically begins in the village of Selo on the northern slope and takes around 8 to 10 hours, leading through dense forests, lush meadows, and rocky terrain to reach the summit, where a breathtaking sunrise awaits.
The mountain's diverse ecosystems, ranging from tropical forests to subalpine and alpine vegetation, showcase remarkable biodiversity. Mount Merbabu stands as a symbol of Indonesia's natural and cultural wealth, captivating visitors with its stunning landscapes and providing an opportunity to connect with nature's beauty.
Gazing upon its sun-kissed slopes and panoramic vistas offers a profound experience, immersing travelers in a realm of wonder that leaves a lasting impression on their hearts and minds.
Daimonji nature trail
✔️ Mount Daimonji
📍 Sakyo Ward, Kyoto 606-8442, Shishigatani Daikokudanicho, Japan
Famous for the gigantic Mandarin word “da” or “big” carved into its mountain side, this scenic attraction in Kyoto is a peaceful place to take a stroll. The paths are mostly gentle except for some brief steep slopes but still suitable for beginner hikers.
At the base of the mountain, you will find a quaint street lined with shops selling all sorts of food, drinks, souvenirs and ice cream too. Be sure to bring sufficient water up the mountain as there were no water points when we visited.
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🇰🇷 Hallasan National Park Jeju Island
Hallasan is the highest mountain in South Korea, located on Jeju Island. There are a few stunning hiking trails to explore this beautiful volcanic mountain. We chose Yeongsil Trail which is of moderate difficulty level and does not require a permit. The trail leads hikers through lush forests and offers spectacular views of the island and beyond. However it does not lead to the summit and also the crater lake. It was challenging enough for us who did not have proper hiking gears but thankfully we managed to complete the trail in 5.5 hours. Next time I shall challenge the Eorimok Trail which leads to the crater of Hallasan.

🌴 Day Hike at Perhentian Islands
#gohiking
If you have a couple days to spend at the Perhentian Islands, don't forget to attempt a mild hike to the windmill with gorgeous views.
The hiking point starts at Long Beach near MIMPI resort. It's a 20 minute easy hike, but you will need comfortable footwear as the paths are steep. Follow the signboards to the windmill station, and enjoy the breathtaking views at Windmill Point!

Beautiful scenery at Hualien
✔️ Taroko Gorge
📍 Taroko National Park, 291 Fushi Village, Xiulin Township, Hualien, County 972003, Taiwan
Located in the district of Hualien, this is a popular hiking trail that tourists visit. To get here, simply take a train from Taipei main station or a bus from Taipei bus station, then stop at Hualien county.
We hired a guide to bring us up the Zhuilu Old Road trail, which is for the much more adventurous and daring hikers. It involves crossing a super long suspension bridge over the gorge and hiking along a tiny path carved into the side of the mountain, exciting!
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🇲🇾 Sunrise Majesty: A Hike up Maragang Hill, Sabah
#gohiking
Last June me and my friend embarked on a sunrise hike to Maragang Hill in Sabah. Starting at 3 AM, this adventure was not just a hike but a journey through breathtaking landscapes that culminated in one of the most spectacular sunrises I've ever witnessed.🥹
Maragang Hill, sitting at 2,232 meters above sea level, offers a moderately challenging hike that is perfect for both seasoned hikers and those looking to prepare for the more daunting Mount Kinabalu.
The 3 AM start might sound daunting, but it’s well worth the effort. 💫💫The real challenge was the cold; the early morning temperatures on the hill can be brisk, so dressing in layers is essential. 🥶
Reaching the summit just as the first light of day began to stretch across the sky was an unforgettable experience. The panoramic views from Maragang Hill are simply stunning, with layers of mountains and valleys spread out beneath a sky turning from velvety midnight blue to warm shades of pink and orange. ❤️It’s a perfect spot for photographers and nature lovers alike, offering a moment of sublime peace as the sun rises.
For anyone interested in this hike, booking through the official website is straightforward, and there are options for both the conventional trail and a loop trail, depending on how much time you have and what you want to see. Remember to pack appropriately for cold weather, wear sturdy footwear, and bring water and snacks.
If you’re up for an early start and a memorable hike, Maragang Hill is the perfect place to challenge yourself and witness the awe-inspiring beauty of Sabah at dawn.🥳

Penang Hill Hike 👣🍃
Hiking Penang Hill is one of the best things to do while in Penang. The trail is easy to navigate and you will be greet by fresh air with stunning scenery.
I have encountered a few friendly hill dogs, dusty leaf monkeys and all kinds of tropical fruits along the trail. I encourage everyone to do this when in Penang. Bring a hiking shoe, a bottle of water, fresh cloth to change, and a mosquito spray if needed.😁
One of the most prominent and major trekking activity with Forest walking and Nature Lush Surroundings of fresh air. It takes little long if new to this area.Routes are well made it with path but guide must be recommended those who comes new to this place or else chances to miss it anywhere.Most Favourite attration in Entire Penang. After the hardest climb it'd be definitely the best view comes and makes you cherish for sure. 🥰✨
One of the Best. Highly recommended. 👍🏻

Coffee on a Clift!
This café and restaurant was a hidden gem for me during my visit to Phuket, is just by a Clift near the Karon beach and is better to go there driving or by scooter 🛵
The place has a massive selection of areas in where to sit, from near the top, to almost the sea level, so some stairs might be need to use to explore it all.
Service is good and fast, the Korean rice was delicious and of course a cold latte for thst summer day ☀

Hiking In Grand Canyon South Rim
#gohiking
Grand Canyon South Rim is the ideal choice for a first visit to the Grand Canyon because it offers the most expansive views and the easiest scenic trail.
I did the Rim Trial as it the easiest trail with almost no elevation change and with breathtaking views of the canyon from above. It is also because one of the shuttle routes runs along this trail, and several shuttle stops are located at different points along the Rim Trail .
The Trail start from the Grand Canyon village and ends at Hermit Rest, but you can begin and end it at any of the shuttle stops. You can also hike the trail all the way to Hermits Rest, then get back to the trailhead by the shuttle bus.
This trail is highly recommended for everyone given it level of difficulty is low .
Moongate 5 Penang 👣🍃
Definitely one of the best hiking spot in Penang island. Plenty of parking spaces available from walking distance to the entrance point. There are a few stops before reaching Penang hill. 👣
The trail is well maintained and easy to navigate and follow but at some points it's a bit confusing so it's better to get info before moving or you might end up at different hill. Its a steep climb when you are near the top. You can enjoy jungle and view of Penang and sea on your way. The total time was about 3 hours and the hike is about intermediate level. We went at a fairly relaxed pace and stopped every now and then to take photos. Most of the track is either flat or at a slight incline. Only a very small part of it was muddy. 😎
Recommended for a light exercise. 👍🏻✨

Hidden Quarry in Singapore
Unless you live in Tampines or you’re very observant, you’ll probably miss this hidden quarry. Opposite the famous Bedok Reservoir Park, the Tampines Quarry is one of the last “untouched” quarry left in mainland Singapore.
To get here, drive/walk to Tampines Industrial Avenue 1. The quarry is fenced up but there are still areas that you can access the quarry. Be warned that there are no proper footpaths so just be careful. The untouched and tranquility of the quarry is with the unpaved paths. If you’re a bird watcher, you can also spot many different types of birds in the quarry.
This is one literally off the beaten track that is worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Perfect Weather to Hike Here
Located along Yishun Avenue 1, I have driven by this park many times over the years but have never stopped to visit this park. I finally decided to visit this park when I was in the area and i was not disappointed.
The first thing one would notice is the long heritage bridge. There are boards explaining the history of the reservoir and it is well worth a read. The views and scenery along the bridge and at the end of the bridge was also quite stunning.
After visiting the bridge, can continue walking along the reservoir and you’ll see a water play area for children. There is also a water sports centre where you can rent a kayak to kayak in the reservoir. And towards the end of the park, there is a fishing deck where you can either choose to fish or watch what people are fishing.
All in all, a short but scenic hike in one of the lesser visited reservoir parks in Singapore.

Hiking from Balang Mountain Pass
If you take the Panda National Road from Chengdu to West-Sichuans Aba, you will cross Balang Mountain Pass. From there, you can easy start a hike to Balang Mountain. There is no fixed way to hike, you can choose whatever way you like.
Great nature, great hike!
🗻 The hike ends on 4500m, which is quite high, so better start slow and stop if you're out of breath. If you're tired, go back to your car. Safety first!

Breathtaking Osmeña Peak
#gohiking
What better way to spend the weekend than having a date with nature. Go hiking and take on a challenging climb up the mighty Osmeña Peak in Dalaguete, Cebu.
Appreciate the beauty of nature, bathe in the mighty sun for more doses of Vitamin D. There are guides to help you out in your adventure as you take the trail. It’s not just for climbing enthusiasts. Newbies like me can still take on this kind of activity and you’ll surely want to come back for more.
There are 4 other trails which you can also take. Not sure if this was the hardest but probably one of the best. I recommend this for a weekend getaway. Be sure to wear your best footwear as the trail can be slippery. You need to get a good grip on the ground.

Strolling & Strawberry Picking @ SSS Farm
#gohiking
What's a worthwhile activity while in Queensland? Visit SSS Strawberies Farm and experience for yourself picking sweet, juicy, and fresh strawberries yourself!
I must say hiking around the property is both fun and will give you a little sweat. The huge strawberry plantation can be a massive area for you to walk around.
I have one trivia for those who do are not so familiar about this farm. Do you know what SSS means? Interestingly, it stands for: Seven Successful Siblings. Yes, literally, siblings, related by blood and it will give you a hint that it is owned by a family and run by themselves as well. Over the years, the farm was a success and they have been so active with charity works too. How cool is that?
