First 30-40 minute is tough.
At Bukit Tabur West, you only need to pass the first 15 minute breath taking hike. Here at Tabur East you will going to prepare 30-40 minute uphill hike. At the very beginning of the trail you gonna get use your arm strength. Advice to really take a minute rest at first check point: Check point Tongkat Ali



40-60 Minute: You going do sweat a lot!
Check point Empangan view (Take some photo here)
Check point R&R (i give it a pass) and
check point puncak view (photo here: beautiful natural forest scenery)
I was sweating heavily here. Its still a uphill hike but better than first 30 minute. I take a minute at puncak view check point.









60-75 minute: Boring yet the most difficult parts is just step away
This part started feel boring cause not much nice view and most of the view is already seen at Tabur West. Nothing special. Here we will go downhill and uphill again. Walk until you see a "mother of all hill" in front of you. That's will be the last climbing practice for the day.












5-15 minute rock climbing: That's what it all about Tabur East!!
Take a minute when you getting prepare to the rock climbing
As it will take average 5 - 10 minute, arm strength and mentality vital here.
At Tabur West, the so call most difficult part is really nothing compare here!







You on the top of the world!
After the rock climbing you will glad to see Malaysia Flag here, indicating you are standing top of the Bukit Tabur East. Yet don't expect much because here nothing to shout as the scenery is just normal. You can look back at Bukit Tabur West, KL view, natural forest view and Bukit Tabur Far East.
Yet do not stop at here because the best part is actually not end here!!






The last step of Tabur East
Walk further down heading Bukit Tabur far East. There is a trail leading nearer to Bukit Tabur far East part. Once you reach you will amaze by the nature beauty of the environment. The last step of footprint is ended here.
Be careful at here!! Once fall down is about 200 meter high!!








Going down is equal killing physical!!
Bukit tabur east is a one way trail. So you need to go back from where you started using same route. (there is another exit but not advisable)
My hand pain as the rock is very sharp and my leg are weaker when going down.For me it is more dangerous going back. So when you reach exit, you can choose to go waterfall near the entrance. water is cool and clear!





Hiking Bukit Tabur East takes me 2.5 hours from starting point to exit.
After Bukit Tabur East, i'm not planning to explore Bukit tabur far East to complete the whole Bukit tabur. I believe there is much more nature i wanna go explore out there. Gotta think where to go after this.
