Itinerary

7.45am - Meet at Senawang Toll (note: ensure you have taken your breakfast)
8.00am - Will leave from Toll to Ulu Bendul
8.30am - Arrive and briefing
9.00am - Start to trek
12.45pm - Reach the peak
1.30pm - Descend from Peak
4.30pm - Reach the Car Park
7:00pm - Dinner at Seremban

Total trekking time to and fro car park is about 7 hours. According to Tony, juicy watermelon will be provided at the peak to quench thirst. I need to check whether it is a special delivery by helicopter to the peak.

Senawang Toll:
Travelling along Seremban Highway from Kuala Lumpur, you pass by Labu Toll (exit to Seremban) follow by the next exit to Port Dickson; Senawang Toll is the exit that follows.

Normal travelling time is about 45 minutes. Please take note that during Hari Raya days, speed limit is lower by 10. Which means maximum speed is 100 km/hr. In this case, you may need about one (1) hour.
