Everyone knows about the Mt. Yellow in China, but do you know that there is also an Mt Yellow in Malaysia? It's a mountain that crosses the border of Perak and Pahang. There are two routes to Mt Yellow summit. First is via the Mt Irau and then cross to Mt Yellow, second is start from the Perak-Pahang border at Cameron Highland - Gua Musang highway.
2 years ago, we attempted to trek via first route but we encountered the bad weather which turned out to Mt Brinchang - Mt Irau day trip. We learned the lesson and decided to trek via 2nd route this time. In fact, it's also the raining season but the weather is extremely good throughout our 2 days 1 night trip at Mt. Yellow. On the afternoon after we came down from mountain, heavy rain started. I guess everyone is having the same thought "we were very lucky this time".
The itinerary was not much different from our previous trip. We drove to Cameron Highlands (2 cars from JB and 1 car from KL) , stayed one night at Tanah Rata. The next morning, we met the 4 wheel driver and fetched us to the starting point of the trek by 9.30am. The marker of the state border (left photo) is our "signboard". There is a number on every marker. No. 341 marker is at the summit. I can't remember which number we started, maybe it's No. 562 (friends, correct me if I am wrong), slowly trek up and reached the peak at 2.20pm. We arrived 2 hours earlier than as expected.
The weather is hot. We hide under the shade and waiting for the sunset. It's quite boring. That's the problem of arriving too early. :p
As usual, we started to prepare the dinner around 5.00pm. After dinner, we played cards, chit chat and went to bed around 10pm. The next morning, Hai Poh was the first to wake up (well, he's always the earliest, nobody will or want to beat his record). The photo on right shown the morning scene. After breakfast, we packed our thing and left the summit by 10am.
Our 4 wheel driver (sorry, I can't remember the name of that uncle) was already there when we came out from mountain. He invited us to visit his tomato farm. Well, why not? So, we ended up eating fresh tomato in his farm. :D We spent another night at Brinchang, celebrating the cold Christmas eve (not white Christmas :p) in Cameron Highland.
