Gunung Jerai Trekking

The 3 hours tough but challenging jungle trekking started from 'Tangga Kenari 1000 Tahun' staircase (only approximately 1670 steps)hiking became formidable with the steep uneven path hindered by falling trunks and protruding rocks and slippery as a result of rain.The most scary moment was the land leech which would pounce on you on all directions when you were least expected and sucked your blood greedily and bleeding profusely only when the suckers were removed.
Descending was rather quick and easy but risky due to the slanting path strewn with "blockage"(Fell tree branches,big and tiny rocks etc)Anyone might get injury or cramp legs under this circumstance.



Remark:4 places of injury spotted and the 'bite' on my right leg still bleeding after shower on the 2nd day after the hike.


Comment:Fun and enjoyable,unforgettable experience for being the very first time faced with land leech,this terrible scenario only being told,read,and from adventure movies but never came to reality before.
