When Azman and I began courting in 2001, he used to tell me about his childhood experience that was really fun but very peculiar and spooky. Like the mysterious balls of fire that can be seen flying from space to the top of the Gunung Pulai behind his house. And how great many sea shells can be found in one of the caves on the mountain, although it was way too far from the nearest sea. And there were natural limestone statues in shape of a King, Queen, Princess and mystical animals but now the King was gone, suspected as a kidnap victim of a Hindu temple!
Perhaps Azman thought mystery tales could help to mengorat me. But honestly, what kind of girl would wanna listen to ghost story?!..please…. Didn’t he know that what I would only be captivated by FART STORIES!?
Pffff!
Here is the magnificent view from the top of Gunung Pulai
Anyway Azman and I am planning to hike Gunung Pulai, Baling, Kedah during the coming Chinese New Year Holidays. It is a beautiful limestone hill that would take about 3-4 hours to scale to the top. In fact it has been listed as one of the top mountains to be conquered in Malaysia.
We will have a guide to lead us through and when we have climbed down from the mountain (safely I hope), lets take a refreshing dip at the Ulu Legong Hot Springs! Hey I think its gonna be quite fun!
Diyanazman is inviting any of our friends/readers out there who would like to join us. Limited number of people only. Do contact us for more details. Lets go hiking! yeah!
Gunung Pulai : Azman in reminiscence of his favourite past time – Catching Ketam Batu!
That’s me doing a Puaka Niyang Rapik cum Lompat Katak Pisang on the paddy fields. Behind me is the beautiful Gunung Pulai.

i can imagine my hubby or maybe you trying to revive me for oxygen when i got that hiking migraine after climbing for about 20 minutes. huhuhu
hhmm.. just wondering.. adakah cimiki ikut hiking bersama atau dibiar bermain di tepi sawah aje?
i mean when i pengsan after getting a terribly throbbing massive hiking headache (i saw in one of the national geographic channel that one can get that kind of headache while climbing)..is that true? do u ever get any?
fatin… cimiki akan dibenarkan mengejar ketam batu di sawah… hehehe.. no lah! he will be at home with Opah!

Bani,
Ketam Batu…adalah spesies ketam batu la..
nak makan pun tak guna..tadak isi.
oooo….takpe la…kita tahan la pukat ke, tajur ke main pakai serkap ke tangkap puyu, sepat dgn haruan sawah. best tu…..aku tak kira…aku nak jugak.
biawak ada ka?! tangkap biawak sekali..Uuu…Uu..
biawak ada…slalu org tangkap biawak umpan dia ayam. kali ni aku guna hang (nize) jadi umpan….
azman n diyana: budget mcmana? satu kepala brapa rm? nak kene simpan nih. kang lari budget aku langsung aku tak dapat ikut……DAN AKU NAK TUMPANG KETER HANGPA…aku rela jadi baby sitter che mat luth
hang bani.., aku melantik ko dgn rasminye sebagai jeneral pemusnah biawak..!!
Bani,
belut ada banyak la..tapi tu pun dah banyak mati kena racun.
Budget tu ikut hang..kalu nak drive sendiri..hang bayaq la duit minyak dan tol sendiri.
Drive dari KL ke Baling dalam 4-5jam. Tol dalam RM30 kalu ikut kuala kangsar-grik. Total jarak 400km.
Ni estimate one way…pi balik…hang kira la sendiri.
Gunung tu belakang rumah mak bapak aku saja..
kalu nak duduk Seri Baling Inn..sewa satu malam RM80.
Tapi..kalu nak duduk ramai2 umah makbapak aku pun OK jugak. Tapi sempit la sket…dan bayar la duit dia masak..dan tolong2 la dia masak sama.
pastu..nak bayar guide..kita kongsi2 dalam 5-10rm sorang.
malam lepas hiking..kita lepak kat kolam air panas legong..entrance fee RM2 je sorang.
tu je kot budgetnya..
repulsivelyrina,
hiking tu amik masa satu hari saja..naik 3-4jam…turun susah sket..maybe lebih 4jam kot.
gunung pulai ni..gunung batu kapur…jadi kena panjat2 batu sket..so..bila turun..maybe licin sket la…
as for today, aku 99% confirm kalau gitu budgetnye…. dan aku nak bawak si ‘busybee’ a.k.a ‘mirrorme’
I wanna go Di! But CNY tak boleh :'(
motif pki topeng ‘The Mask’ smbl melompat?…hahaha,kelakar seyy..
sori tuanblog, kampung haku kat kg seri gunung pulai, n tiap2 bulan haku balik kampung – kekadang lalu kulai, kekadang lalu pekan nenas, tapi tak perasan pulak ada sawah padi luas terbentang, dan gunung2 tuh macam tak pernah kelihatan di Gunung Pulai! Tapi macam kat Gunung Ledang jakk, hmmm wallahualam.
