Local Hiking/Trekking forums

[Zephirum]

I have done some search, but cannot find any local forum on Hhiking or trekking. Any recommendation?

The closest one I can find is the SAC forum at http://www.sac.org/race/.

Not very active though.

Thanks man. Maybe trekkin/hiking is not very popular here.

the website is not really a forum. It is just their homepage.

I have been with SAC for a couple of years and I would say they organise quite a number of trips for their members. Give them a call if you are interested.

ya i am also into the mountain trekking... hope to get some info from here too. info that i would like to have are

1. info on mountain (location, climate, height, difficulty and etc)
2. Appropriate trekking gear (shoes, jacket, backpack and etc)

The nice trekking places that i have in mind are Mt.Ophir, Mt.KK, Mt.Rinjani, Nepal, tibet... any other nice trekking place to recommend?

I have been trekking to new zealand, tasmania, swiss, tibet, nepal, pakistan....

tasmania is really nice, affordable and extremly scenic. I did the overland trek in 98, and its easily one of the best treks i have went so far.

I did the Tour de Muveran in Bex in Switzerland, a 5 day trek that allows you a 360 view of the Matterhorn.

even treks to Ophir is good. I have also trekked and climbed Tahan, Korbu, Charma, etc...

You need to tell me what you are looking out for this trek, and I can recommend them to you.

I am also primarily a gear buff, so hope to give you advice on that...
