Gunung Semangkok Day Hike - An Arduous Day Hike to The Famed 'Death Valley'
About Gunung Semangkok
Gunung Semangkok (elevation 1824m), or some called it Semangkuk or Semangko, is a mountain which lies on the border of Pahang and Selangor. Although literally translated to “One Bowl” from the Malay language (Se = One, Mangkuk = Bowl), this mountain is more commonly referred to as “The Death Valley” by the Chinese hikers due to its difficulty and the fact that the name sounds like Death Valley in Chinese (Semang = Death, Kok = Valley).
