We headed out to Kubah NP to hike Gunung (Mt) Serapi. We had to hire a taxi as grab drivers don’t like going there or waiting for you to finish. The entry fee was RM$20 which is fairly reparable for a paved 10km trip. The jungle was beautiful, and it wasn’t actually that hot as you are in the shade for almost all of the hike. It didn’t rain when we were out there, but I can imagine the concrete becomes slippery when wet. We saw many many butterflies, and the jungle felt alive and fresh. I highly recommend this hike. It took us 1hr & 20mins to reach the top and 50mins to come back down. The tax driver charged us RM$170 - but securing a trip home was important, so we just paid the $$!

Took me about 2 hours to get to the summit but I'm sure seasoned hikers would take probably around 1 hour 45 minutes or maybe less. There are apparently 4 trails to choose from so you might wanna plan your time wisely if you'd like to get the full experience. I barely saw any wildlife other than a few types of lizards and snakes but maybe I wasn't looking in the right place. Might come back in the future to try the other trails. "Life is like a mountain. Hard to climb, but once you get to the top, the view is beautiful."

We hiked in this mountain as an alternative as the park to climb mount Santubong was closed without notice. So we were in our hiking outfit without any mountain to climb . As such, asked our driver to drop us off at this mountain to hike up the metal road for 5.4km . It is 30minutes away from Kuching or Mount Santubung so make sure to arrange for transport there and return transport as it is very difficult to get a ride hail there . Entrance fee is US$4 per foreign person and US$2 for locals . You need to register , log in and log out at the park office . Thereafter hike up 700m to the near peak on a steep mountain road that never seem to flatten . The views from the top is nice and there are benches and covered pavilion to rest enroute . The waterfall route and jungle route is disable if they did not close it off . Otherwise a very good place to workout and hike . Good for a 4 hour hike . It is not Mount santubung, but a little safer to hike in a rainy day which is very common in this area where it rains literally everyday around the year . The only difference is how intense the rain is that they shut the mountains from climbers - especially Mount Sabtubung .
