I promised an old hiking friend to go on a mountain pioneering trip at Gunung Lipat Sanggul, Terengganu. It is the 16th highest mountain in Terengganu.

To the north of the Tun Sakaran Marine Park, lies one beautiful island with white sandy beach by the name of Sibuan Island. The small island is lined with towering coconut trees swaying to the wind. It suits the ideal definition of a paradise island where one wishes to lay in a hammock tied in […]
