Starting at 7 a.m. from 150m asl, 7 of us trooped up Bukit Tabur to catch the sunrise. Since the last visit in August 2008 (http://happyotrekker.blogspot.com/2008/08/bukit-tabur-west-1682008_17.html), the trail now appeared much wider and eroded but still pleasantly neat and free of litter. Notwithstanding the rain the night before, but the terrain was dry and easy to trek.
As expected, we saw a thick sea of mist hovering over the Dam Lake. We stopped intermittently to admire and photograph the beautiful sea of mist and moving slowly against the orange sky backdrop over the East Tabur Ridge and settling down and disappearing over the Melawati residential area.
By 8 a.m. the ridge was crowded with many hikers, young and old, signifying the popularity of the trail. We hit the highest ridge 490m asl on the last hump at 10.30 a.m. It was about 12 noon when we reached the base via the kebun after an hour of downhill trek.
Below is a series of selected photographs of the trek arranged in chronological order.
