One Step at a Time

Bukit Batu Putih/ Whitestone  Hill Tanjung Tuan Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan This one is pretty new to me. Some time ago, this hike went pretty viral and that’s how I got to know Batu Putih in Port Dickson. There are several other Batu Putihs around the country, but this is the one that came highly recommended. From what people have told me, the sunset view from the peak is beautiful, and it’s a super easy climb for those with no experience. PERFECT!

We stopped for a quick power nap in the car and then continued towards Cameron Highlands. It was very misty and foggy, very Silent Hill. The mist was so thick we got lost on the way to Tanah Rata. It was started to look like the beginning of a slasher movie. Thank god, in the end we managed to find our way and not die. We had breakfast close to a temple. We cont...
