(This post will stay on top for the rest of one week)
It's time to open for discussion.I've called up the hostel booking receptionist. She mentioned that booking is not opened yet for March 2009.
Now, let's discuss on what's gonna look like, how you possibly don't want it to look like, and what you possibly want it to look like.

Thank you for your research. I have few question.
1. what is the other option then Mesilau Nature Resort? Its kind of expensive.
I know we can stay in KK town then use hotel transfer to go to mesilau trail early morning. Some of the KK city tour offering rm40 per pax for the transpotation to KK park.
2. Transit by KOKTAS? mean KOSTAS will transfer us from airport to resort?
3. What is the distance between start of mesilau trail with Mesilau Nature Resort? Any transpotation needed? When we should start the hiking?
guys, i have to admit, i have totally no idea about all the hiking, if you guys don't mind, we all will be really appreciated of the wisey decisions u guys have made. I understand both of u are very much busy too.
Dinner on US in KK.
:)
On behalf of all other participants.
I think the idea of visiting the nature park is kind of good, but if..there's anyone who doesn't wish to join we could then maybe leave the day 1 for self-planned activity for the rest of them.
Does it mean that we have to stay in Mesilau Nature Resort on Day1 and Day3? which means Rm230 x 2 Per Pax right?
Leban Rata Dorm is the only place where hikers could overnight to enable them for further hiking the following day right? Which means, Rm282 is the least price to pay?
Day 3 after mission accomplish what do ppl normally do? Ehh..EAT??????
Trevor weihan, really appreciate the researchs, i will focus my part on making sure the ppl out there pay their money and not making noise over our decision.
*grinz*
haha, seem like trevo it throw with more question rather than answer. Haha...
Well, the package of laban rata is yet to confirm. I heard someone said they have "malaysian" rating, and some of them said the fee is different now. So, we are still pending information in that area. I make couple of call to the reservation line as well. And the answer i get from them is the same like trevo.
Other then the hiking trip, the rest of the planning is pretty much free and ez.
the most important thing is able to book the laban rata 1st which its not open for booking yet. #@!$%#
And since you all have a short trip- 4 day. the only day you all able to make the trip to mount kk its 2nd and 3rd day. And you all only have half a day on both 1st and 3rd day which basiclly cant travel far for example island hopping or white water rafting.
