Walking trails lead to a number of mountain peaks. Serious trekkers can attempt the 55-kilometre trail to Gunung Tahan, which needs a good deal of commitment and stamina. Day walkers -- that's me -- can aim for the nearby peak of 
Bukit Teresek, just 2 kilometres from the headquarters, and a longer return trail taking about 4 hours may be attempted - which we did not - we took the shorter route ... hahaha . The scenery at the peak of Bukit Teresek was so breathtaking ..... hhhaaaaaaaaaaaa ..............Walking along the forest trails should not be taken lightly - the paths are criss-crossed by numerous tree roots. It will be often muddy and slippery after the 
rains. Walkers and hikers invariably fail to see the detail in the rainforest; it is better to walk slowly and quietly - (hahahaha... I kept hissing at my children to be silent ....) and to keep an eye for smaller forms of nature. Its always recommended that you have a tour guide for this as its worth it. We are not familiar with the living things in the jungle as they all look similar but the guide is able to show us their differences.

... and the tallest tree among them .... Pokok Tualang ... it is said that it can reached 100 to 200 meters tall. How small we are as compared to the tree trunk. Its not because of our 'cute' size ...look at these Mat Sallehs .... they are Italian by the way, who are in our tour group.
We are grateful that we engaged this guide with us, else our trekking will end just a tiring walk. 
He guided us and show us the living forms and made us appreciate their existence. And he taught us the 'magic plants' ... plants for your good health ;) Hey, we came across this ghost finger plant ... one of those 'magic' plants especially for woman in confinement after having a baby..

Some plants fascinated us. Look at this fern ... the leaves appears blue under the sunlight but when we tilted the leaves, its back to green. To know what I meant, watch this video.
