Beautiful trail. |
It was getting a little bit tougher due to the long journey. But things still looked good. There was no rush to Laban Rata. I took my own pace walking slowly.

The journey continue. We started at 8.50 am (which was not too early) and now it is 11.11am. |
There are many staircase that were built to help the climbers to have a safe and easy climb. They are well-maintained.

The staircase is well maintained, considering that this is a trail in the middle of tropical rain forest. |

It is always nice to see people during the climb. I feel safe. |
