Pejabat Pendaftaran Taman Negara Johor Endau Rompin (Peta), Kahang;

For registration and also park your cars here overnight; click here for location.

When the access road is ready, then one can drive all the way to the Visitors' Centre of the national park.

Do CLICK HERE for photos taken by yours truly, KC Leong.

The registration office in Kahang (after Kluang) is just a shoplot and we parked our cars for 4 days just in front of the shop. Anyway, it was a safe parking.

The chalets for overnight are just behind this sign post.

All meals are included in the package - Ally and Wey Tyng

Visitors' Centre chalets where we spent one night here before the hiking

Water tubing activity for one hour

This is how we transfer the camping stuff to campsite - Iris Lee

The Chief Mountain Guide, Adil, and the assistant guide, Syaiful (with spectacles), heard conflicting warning sound created by birds and monkeys from far and near. They suspected impending danger with the presence of tiger as this is their territory; so they set up fire and smoke to scare away any predators or spirit, if any. They are not using firecrackers method as they believe that the spirit would harm certain members of the orang asli community.

Another lesson learn: bring along a lighter when hiking big mountains.

Endau fan palm - uniquely and abundantly found only in this region. You have to be here to see this unique landscape - Iris Lee, Wey Tyng, Ally and Keong Wong.

Time to enjoy our packed lunch cooked by the Cooking Team

Janing Barat (543m) junction - an important junction where the Full Trans (a new and longer trail starts from Visitors' Centre) and the normal trail that starts from NERC (Nature Education and Research Centre) meet.

Ms Sue (left of photo frame) - another Johor Mountain Guide. She was leading the Full Trans team (longer route, tougher terrain).

Due to heavy rain in the late afternoon, on special consideration for safety, we were allowed to set up tents here for one night.

Kuala Jasin Campsite and Chalets area

All meals in the trek are provided - Ally, Anita, Wey Tyng, Gillian, Alice.

The Chief Mountain Guide, Adil, was sharing his knowledge and experience with us while flanked by two leng lui - Gillian Ong and Ally Chong. The Endau Fan Palm, other than an icon or logo, can be used as a fan.

Nice to complete the adventure with a sumptuous Chinese food.

Feel free to form hiker groups to enjoy this adventure. In my opinion, best group size is around 14 hikers as there is the economy of scale.

And before taking up the Endau Rompin challenge, one must train at Mini Tahan (of Bukit Dinding, Kuala Lumpur).

At Kuala Jasin Campsite - the cooking crew are from Kampong Peta (Visitors' Centre). Distance apart = 8km. I think during normal days when there are no visitors, Kuala Jasin Campsite is devoid of people.

There are chalets at Kuala Jasin Campsite; one can consider not camping (thus reduce the amount of stuff to bring).
