The vertical cliffs of Tebing Gila |
This revisit was to refine the Tebing Gila trail since our
last visit in February. We
rerouted at the beginning part - without going up the steep hill but along the riverbank, having passed by an old, abandoned shelter.

Base of the cliff range - wind passage |
The refined trail does not traverse the cliff top until Batu Gila cliff arch; instead, we determined a suitable crossover point to the other side of the cliff range (North).

Rewarding ourselves with a good splash |

Map (MapSource) showing the refined trail |
Overall distance (carpark-carpark) is about 12 km, slightly less than the previous trip. The trip took us 8+ hours due to recce and bushwhacking of some parts we hoped would connect us nicely but did not. The full trail end-to-end (loop format) will take roughly 5-6 hours.
