Hiking Gunung Angsi on Saturday, 9 Nov 2019 ... it was a big group with hikers from ChanHN's, Michelle Lian's, Elaine Lee's and KC's teams. We started the hike from Bukit Putus to the peak, then descended the hill via Ulu Bendul way. At the trail head, I guessed there could be a few hundreds hikers. Registration for hiking is RM5 per person.

The weather in the morning was cloudy, looked like the spilled over from the seven hours of drizzle the day before. But at around 12 noon, we could see blue sky again; overall, it was a nice and cooling day for outing in the morning. At the peak, it was full of hikers at the small clearing with trees and hut. Most hikers would queue to take photos at the signage that has the sign "Gunung Angsi". Most hikers after having their refreshment, would hurriedly descend the hill to make way for other hikers.

The trail from Bukit Putus is wide and clear, able to accommodate large number of hikers. The trail from Ulu Bedul is comparatively narrow, with many obstacles caused by fallen trees with the big trunks blocking the path. With years of soil erosion, the trails at Ulu Bendul are with wide steps at the steeper slope, making descent a little slower. At the stream crossing, I was surprised to see that despite the daily rain for the past few weeks, there wasn't much water in the stream. One way to the peak from Bukit Putus trail head is around 1 hr 45 min (moderate pace); while the descent to Ulu Bendul Recreational Park is around 3 hours (comfortable pace).
Even making drinks and having light refreshment is also having so much fun
Together with Shu-Lin, Emily, Claudia, Rachel, Nixon, it was a fun and enjoyable hike together. We completed the outing with a nice noodle lunch at Yi Poh 姨婆老鼠粉 Restaurant in Seremban.
