Endau Rompin
Went for this short weekend trip in April. I think the plan was to go climb KK at first, but accommodation was fully booked, hence we went to Endau Rompin instead. Memorable because I had my first encounter with leeches. Read a lot horror stories about leeches before going for the trip, and nearly backed out last minute because Endau Rompin is known to have a lot of leeches.

The first leech we encountered - on a boat.

The hike on the first day was tedious, and we were all physically unprepared for it. To make matters worse, we had to keep a lookout for the bloodsuckers - there were really a lot of them. We had to stop every 10 min to check our shoes and flick them off. Gross.

On the first night we (the girls) could not help whining non-stop and we wanted to skip the hike to Upeh Culing waters the next day. Luckily we did not, because the hike was easier (no upslope) and we had a fun time sliding down the rocks at Upeh Culing.
