THE CALL of the TWIN PEAKS
Dragon horns, bats,waterfalls, watersprout ( tornado), Milkyway from Jetty, sunsets, Giant granite rock, big Squirrel, Beaches...edible wild berries Activities - TRek from Kg Kenting to Paya - just follow the power cable line - Milkyway shooting at Jetty - Chill off with beers on Jetty late night - CLimb up to CP9 - Asah Waterfalls - Eat eat eat.. walk walk walk I once saw a twin toothed peak from Sri Ganda resort beach - one of the best dark sky site in Peninsula in Mersing.
Internet search then indicated the Toiman's Dragon's Horn can be reached. SO after many months we went wielding trekking poles instead of snorkeling gears...Surprisingly there are plenty of things to see and photography land-based alone.
