Report: Desa Damai Hill East and West / Green Valley (Bentong) (PF44un)

Photos from joiners (not in any particular order)
This was our second predawn hike in Bentong, where we ascended a small hill on private land (with permission) to the east of Taman Desa Damai. This hike was the highlight of our 2D2N event, which also included a stay at the Green Valley Holistic Centre, a shorter hike up the hill behind Green Valley—affectionately dubbed ‘GV Hill’—and a fun-filled session of water recreation at Sungai Repas, just a stone’s throw from Green Valley. We had 24+/- joiners for this trip.
