How the Trekking Journey Begins
Trekking in Jawai usually starts early in the morning, when the sun rises and the valley glows in shades of gold. After a short briefing with your guide, you begin the journey—walking through rocky paths, grassy fields, and natural trails carved by time.
The cool breeze, bird calls, and the silence of the hills make the first steps magical. As you climb higher, the views of Jawai Dam and the surrounding villages slowly open up, giving you a taste of what lies ahead.
