Wet trail conditions and leeches did not dampen the excitement as hikers tackled the 5km route during SHAPE’s Hike for Happiness.
Despite the post-rain, muddy conditions of the trail, SHAPE’s Hike for Happiness activity, which took place at Genting Highlands on 9 September 2017, was a big success, which left both the SHAPE folks and participants on a high.
The participants, all well-geared for the hike, gathered at the Awana Hotel in Genting as early as 7am. It began with a welcoming address by SHAPE editor-in-chief, Seema Viswanathan.
Eddie Chan from Treks Genting, who planned the hike route, also spoke to the participants, explaining more about the dos and don’ts in the jungle, and the safety rules. Following this, Eddie, who was also the guide, divided the hikers into five groups of 10, led by a guide each.
