Messages we got after the hike
Such a fun trail. I've ticked off my bucket list. Just seeing the Corybas made me happy.
For a trail like this you have to know your own limits first, then you can go in and come out happy. The mountain guide team was friendly and very experienced.
The mountain guides were really responsible. They took care of the slower hikers.
Everything went smoothly and I really enjoyed the hike. The mountain guide team was very responsible. 100% thumbs up.
About us
Hi, I am Daa
Founder of Daa Travel Asia
After I started hiking, I found so many Malaysian mountains worth visiting, yet few hiking groups around me went there. So I began arranging and coordinating trips together with licensed guides, and that is how this hiking group started.
Arranging hiking trips is my hobby outside work. I only really started in April 2026, and I have already met so many wonderful teammates. Your encouragement keeps me going. Together we hike, take on challenges, support each other, see views we had never seen and go beyond our limits. Many teammates tell me that after they started hiking, they found out how much more is possible for them.
The one thing I hold firm on: every group has professional licensed guides. They guide us, lead the way and do their best to get every teammate up and down safely. I look forward to hiking the mountains of Malaysia, Asia and even further with you, and discovering a different side of ourselves.
My full time job is in travel customer service, helping clients plan their trips at an established travel company. If you need travel services, you are welcome to ask.
FAQ
What people ask before their first trip
Can I join on my own?
Yes. Many of our hikers sign up solo. We sort out the meeting point, route and timing, and licensed guides look after the whole group. Just show up.
I am new to hiking. Can I join?
Yes. Start with a trail marked beginner friendly, like Gunung Arong. Every trail page lists the distance, elevation gain, time and difficulty. Still unsure? You can WhatsApp us.
What gear do I need?
Every trail page has a packing list. You can use it to prepare.
Is transport or accommodation included?
Not for our Malaysia hikes. You make your own way to the meeting point. It is listed on every trail page, and we confirm it again in the group chat before the trip.
Is insurance included?
Usually not. Only the Mossy Forest trail includes it. We recommend getting your own outdoor activity cover.
What if it rains? Can I get a refund?
Safety comes first. If the weather looks bad before the trip, we let everyone know early. Fees are non refundable because the hiking permits are already paid to the Forestry Department. If it rains on the trail, the guides decide whether to adjust the route or turn back. No one is ever pushed.
How do I know my spot is confirmed?
Your spot is confirmed once you pay, and we reply to confirm. Once your spot is confirmed, we email you the WhatsApp group link. Just tap it to join.
Who leads the hike?
Licensed Forestry Department guides, one for every 7 hikers. Bigger groups get more guides and walk in smaller pods, so no one gets left behind.
Not sure which trip suits you?
Just talk to Daa. Tell us where you want to go, how many of you and when, and we will sort out the rest.
