Gunung Chabang, a mountain good for training elevation gain. You will pass through "Pos Slim" to get into the entrance. 

To get here, first you need to GPS to this location "4.570660, 101.279073". It do be parking your car on the side of the road, unless you plan to camp, there is a space to park your car, but no matter what, you are not allowed to enter their kampung to park your car.

The start of the trail is hard to find. moreover, right after the start of the trail, there a few confusing junction. 

Start of trailhead after 400m on the road

If you see a downhill toward a river, you are on the right path
(Note: I had a friend who couldn't cross this river after a rain, it look small but can be a huge nope during rain)

The following junction shown is from 15th October 2022, unsure if it will change in the future:

First junction, take right

Which you will see a house, take left here

Last major junction, turn right and start climbing

After that, there are mini junction, but it should be obvious at this point

River crossing

After that, it just a climb up to the peak of the mountain. There isn't much to offer here, just you, and tree and a lots of trees.

This is a mini campsite which I forgot which distance, though water source I can't confirm

There is another junction here around 4.5km-5.0km. To take right here.

Checkpoint to take note:

-All the junction at the start of the trail.

~6km - Peak / Summit

There isn't much to say about this trip as the whole trip is just hiking up the mountain, at least there mossy forest to see. Though it is also a good elevation training.
