Day 2 Jerai first waterfall - yours truly posing with Ah Kwang (in black T-shirt), the mountain guide. He is a serious and pro trail runner; he trains alone by running around in the Jerai mountains, and he chanced upon the waterfalls hiding in the mountains.

Day 3 sunrise view at Gunung Pulai ... ... this is a rock-based steep mountain; 90% of the terrain is rocky and only 10% flat land. One has to use both arms to pull oneself up the rocks. This is something like the long version of Bukit Tabur in Melawati.
