Gunung Nuang Pacat 27 Jun 2009




Started at 5.45 a.m. from PJ, we reached Pangsoon at about 6.30 a.m. and begun our trek about 7 a.m. It took us about 2 hours to hit Lolo Camp and another 2 hours to Pacat Camp at 11 a.m. Though, time was on our side, we decided against proceeding to the peak but to enjoy a leisurely trek home. We reached the base at about 5 p.m. After cleaning up, we went durian hunting nearby. Found 2 stalls selling kampung durians at the main entrance of Kg Pangsoon.

The trail was generally quite dry and the several stream/river crossings were easy due to the low water volume. The weather was overcast and warm. A short shower came about 4 p.m. The highlights of the trek include sighting a huge scorpion, a red leaf insect, giant red pea pods and dancing butterflies ritual as well as an encounter with an adventurous kitten. Overall, it was a pleasant trek.

The last trip to G Nuang Summit was on 25 May 2008 (http://happyotrekker.blogspot.com/2008/05/g-nuang-summit-25508_26.html).
