Bukit Panorama
Published by Coconutkun under on 12/01/2009 09:32:00 AMI wouldnt say that this next article is gonna be a long one, just that editing the photos is an arduous task..span throughout 2 days and 2 nights, my trip to Pahang during the Raya holidays proved to be one of the most interesting trips ive ever had..its like finding another hidden treasure..but not really hidden also la..youll see what i mean..
Departing on the first day of Raya, we headed for Pahang at 2 hours past midnight, right after a CC session with the guys..Surviving on two shots of Nescafe, we braved the hazy East-West highway at wee hours of the night, tavelling almost 4 hours to our destination..to a place called Lembing town..actually, the journey to Pahang from Selangor isnt that long, but taking into account unfamiliarity we decided to factor in 'searching time'.. Our plan was simple: head to Lembing town, find a place called Bukit Panorama, hike it and see the sunrise (the hike takes about half an hour, so we had to be there by 615am)..To be honest, it was a real crazy plan considering the uncertainties; weather, time, darkness, direction, distance etc..thank god it worked!
Well, we reached Lembing town that day having enough time to hike up the hill to view the sunrise, but there was another problem. It was the crowd.Who on earth would have expected that such a secluded little town to have such an enormous crowd, literally hundreds of ppl, at 530am in the morning..its like whoa~ and at the same time, WTH..Coming by busloads, these 'tourists' were here to watch the sunrise as well!!
Following the crowd and practically queuing to climb the hill, we took a little more than an hour to reach the peak..waiting anxiously atop the hill, we waited for the little egg yolk to make an appearance..and when it did, everyone cheered..its like attending a sunrise concert..all the effort for just minutes of this breathtaking moment was really worth it..Well, here are some shots of the sunrise..hope you like it..
