Will be hiking Gunung Ansi on June 11, Gunung Ansi VIA Ulu Bendul
Start and Down via Bukit Putus. Interesting trails, only 825meters but longer than Bukit Putus trails if you done.
There’s are 2 parts of the trails, the 1st part is walking alongside the river, gently upwards along the ridge of the hills. The 2nd part is interesting as it will be all the upwards and before reaching the summit , there’s sandy boulders and you need to use ropes to pull you up. It’s an open space where you can catch a breather before climbing up the boulders. From here it will take about 10 - 15mins to the summit.
Total Distance : Approximately 6.50km one way via Ulu Bendul Recreational Park but shorter via Bukit Putus going down
Usually walking pace for 6.5km will take about 1hr 30 mins, double the time when hiking up hehehheheheh
Ulu Bendul Trails : Start Elevation - 179M , Peak Elevation – 825M
DESCRIPTION:
Gunung Angsi is the 3rd highest mountain in Negeri Sembilan, a mountain that overlooks Seremban in Negeri Sembilan, and situated along the highway to Kuala Pilah.
Coming from Seremban towards Kuala Pilah (Route 51), you will not miss the Ulu Bendul Recreational Park (on the right). Plenty of car park space.
Since most of us have hike via Bukit Putus route, this time it will be via Ulu Bendul route, slightly longer trail, interesting and starts from Ulu Bendul Recreational Forest.
Climbing Gunung Angsi via Ulu Bendul trail usually takes up to 2 - 4 hours to go up (depend on individual fitness) and coming down your choice either the same way you came up or take the Bukit Putus Trail which is much easier and faster. (You need to arrange transport to Ulu Bendul Recreational Park. Usually before heading to Ulu Bendul park , one or two cars will station at Bukit Putus so that you won’t have to walk 3km to Ulu Bendul Park)
The trail starts from the Ulu Bendul Recreation car park and walk alongside the stream at first. Certain places need to cross the stream, as the trails move inwards , a section of the trails will long and upwards along the ridge of the hill. The trails is well defined most of the way, however certain places got cross junctions, do look out for the red and white striped plastic marker tape which have been tied to trees and follow.
Another interesting about the Ulu Bendul trials, when nearing the summit, there’s some sandy boulders and you need to pull yourself up using ropes. Here it a good place to snap pictures.
