Hi, anybody interested to try this route
Start at Puspakom Teluk Kumbar - Puncak Genting - (3km tarmac uphill) - junction to tophill restaurant at Puncak Genting ( 500m tarmac + cement track uphill ) - Downhill 5% - 15% gradient through durian orchard and traditional Malay village (4-6km cement + offroad + tarmac) back to Puspakom.

Note - now is a durian season, can ask the owner to eat free durian that fall on our head (just joke). Can stop at the hut for cash and eat.
Time suggestion: 8-00 am - 5.00pm (track become dark after 5.30 because shaded by the hill and trees)
Saturday & Sunday ride, can contact me if interested. Ride at your own responsbility and self sufficient.

Dear Maraza,
The trails look nice to me. I will join you when my toe recover. I think I have to pass the nibong tebal jamboree...
Cheers, Ray
