Beating a path to Lagong Peak


Pipeline Trail: this pipeline is still functional.

IT WAS a scorching 35°C when we started the hike up to Lagong Peak, which stands at 575m above sea level, from the Taman Botani Kepong west entrance to the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM).

The return trip would take five hours with possibly some jungle bashing, as we would be traversing a virgin forest.
