Mount Rajah is next to Chamang Waterfall at Bentong town, Pahang. Chamang Waterfall is the starting point for the hike and the distance is 16km to the peak. 32km for two ways. Mount Rajah is one of the training ground for hikers that want to attempt Mount Tahan & Kinabalu and a good start those who are new to mountaineering.
This was my first time join OARS MMU hiking Mount Rajah via Lata Chamang. Hike with a 17kg backpack.
It took 4 hours from starting point to reach Lata Naning campsite (10km)
rock-climbing bit is the more difficult part
