How was the hike like in terms of duration and damn, you've been missing for quite some time now so welcome back.
Somemore shots... Yea I am back. To Jeremy:Regarding the hike, it took 2 days. For the 1st day, we started from the group till Laban Rata rest house which is 6km. We took 5 hours 30mins, 10am till 3:30pm, if u r fast then can go up faster. It is better to start earlier, some people starts at 8am. Then u will have more time to relax and enjoy the view in Laban Rata. The view is marvellous . It changes in few seconds. The mist come in seconds and goes in seconds. The clouds changes so fast, u will see it moves. we slept at 8pm and woke up 1:30am the next morning to carry on the hike to the peak. It was very dark of cos. As long as it doesn't rain, u should thank to god already. We are a bit faster this time, we took 2 hours 30mins to go up the peak which is 2.5km from the Laban Rata. We reach b4 6am and managed to see the sunrise. It was superb. Well, it was very very cold also, 4 degree C. It was 10degree C at Laban Rata. Oh ya, we brought some fruits like apple and pears. It taste juicy and tasty . Brought energy bar also. Well, going up is tiring. However it was still ok. Coming down is ..my both legs was super pain and can only move steps by steps. our tour guide have to help me carry my luggage. 1st photo: I was at the peak!
