Mthly Hike - Gunong Selantai & Pulau Mawar

It's the monthly hike again.
This time to Gunong Selantai and then Pulau Mawar in Mersing, with Noi, and WLC.
Similar to Arong in Mersing, it will take about 2.5 hours from JB to Mersing.




Final break stop before arriving at Selantai

G.Selantai is located just along the coast of Mersing.













There's a trail for mountain bikes here



















Careful not to go into the bike trail














We walked probably for about  only1.2 km and arrived at the peak.
Bukit Selantai is 129.2 m tall, shorter than Bukit Timah hill! 😜







Athough no heart-shaped island like Arong, the view is beautiful no less.























Going down the way we came up..


















So tired? Cannot be

The foreigners who joined




Having fun on the road



We made a new friend - Alice







Taking the bus to Mawar next

20 mins later, we arrived













On the right of beach


On the left side of beach
when low tide, we'll be able to cross this to get to the left of Pulau Mawar



We walked along the coast straight all the way to get to the Heaven's gate (right side of the island)


Enter here to get to the gate.

Another friend, Hou Jing from China



The mangrove are on the right side (beach side) when entering














Traffic jam at the ladder going down behind








We see the stone arch as we get down from the ladder














We do love her 🥰









The guide had warned us that the island is a little mysterious, so it would be better not to pick any stones to bring home. Also, we bring our litter with us.




Time for lunch







Having fun with our crystal balls

















Heading back after an hour's break




Low tide..


















Washup

Rest stop and break




Dinner at Midvalley Southkey
