| The hike to Bukit Batu Putih begins. A local charged us RM5 per person for the hike which includes bicycle park. If you start your hike early, you may be able to avoid paying the locals |
 |
| Note the roofs below us. Bukit Batu Putih is located at Kampung Pintu Gadang. The hike fee is appropriate for the inconveniences caused as the roads can get very congested especially during the weekends |
 |
| Overall an easy hike except for this fallen tree and a few vines |
 |
| Tree roots gives good grips |

| Gopeng Hill Assam Laksa. The compound has several durian and coconut trees. They also rear a few free range chickens, goose and ducks. The lady offered us to set up tent in her compound for RM60. |
