Ipoh is between mountains.... !!

Since I have been a bit 'bo liao' lately and still mountain hiking crazy (though haven't found kakis yet), I decided to check out various mountains that are 'hike-able' and came across this terrain google map of Malaysia.

And, now I ...err...realised why Ipoh got so many mountains and hills...it is surrounded by the Kledang mountain range on the left and majestic Titiwangsa range on the right. haha... I never realise that Ipoh is in between two mountain ranges though I was born here and used to the many exotic caves and hills here, till I left the place (and wonder why some places especially JB and Singapore don't have that many hills...:P). I have been too, developed an awareness in certain famous mountains as I have been googling hike-able hills and mountains... hahaha....

To outsiders, if you are at Kinta City(Jusco), you will see the main mountain range of Titiwangsa to the east and the Kledang hill range on the west.

Ok, now I am beginning to sounds like a kid... :P Good, young at heart!!

  8. Hi Chris, nice pic of those mountains.
    I have not climbed any, but more at the foothills...practically all the States in Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak...in deep virgin jungles.

    I guess to climb those mountains you better get an Orang Asli guide or might get into serious problems, ha ha.
    But go for it while you still young, good fun too.
    Best regards, Lee.
