Trail Penjara Jelebu > Kampung Chennah



Distance - 26.9km 


The route start at Penjara Jelebu Quarters Area headed south along Jalan Genting Peras N32. Turn left after Dewan Orang Ramai to Jalan Kampung Temelang N25. There is an easy climb, and stop at the peak of the hill. We are about to enter the rubber estate area. From this point there will be a downhill across Kampung Temelang, Kampung Kenan untill Kampung Poum. Ride along the Sungai Kenaboi on our side to Kampung Chennah.


Sungai Kenaboi is a well-known spot for water activity like kayak, rafting and white rafting.  The kayak and rafting route start from Sungai Kenaboi and end up at Sungai Pertang thru down stream. While the white rafting are held up stream from Sungai Kongkoi. Along the Sungai Kenaboi there are few settlements; Kampung Kekabu, Kampung Siamat, and Kampung Telekong before reaching Kampung Chennah.


Then come the climbing part. Start from Kampung Chennah up to Kampung Chua Lebu and to Kampung Kongkoi. The climbing is a combination of moderate to high along the way up. The jungle area would be on the left-side while the white river on the right-side. This route is cool, the insect are singing with high pitch and river are humming and rumming (please mind this word) while we are struggling ride up to conquer the peak. We will cross the Kampung Esok, which is the entrance to the famous Lata Kijang. (that will cover later)


Reaching Kampung Kongkoi is heaven. We are not at the top of the world. But from now on,  the route are flat and unhurt to Kampung Gelimau. The payback time is now, we are all long way down to the finish line. All the sweats climbing up the hill pay off when you let the wind slap your face, punch your body, bite your hands and legs. Not a single round of cycle need to reach the end point, Penjara Jelebu back then. End of route.



Beware, you are about to enter a remote site. Study the map, terrain and satellite view. While the Kampung Chennah facilitate with Police Station and Medical Center, the nearest town is Titi, 3.4km and Kuala Klawang  located Off N32, 14.3km from the starting point, Penjara Jelebu. Make sure you are ready with back up and support. Enjoy the ride and be safe.


Do you dare to ride ?!!
