One of the wishes in my bucket list is to one day climb Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia.
Hence, I would grab any opportunity to climb other smaller mountains as part of my training regime towards my main goal.
Gunung Lambak which is located in Kluang, Johor is one of the nearest mountains from Singapore.
