Bukit Broga

Bukit Broga is one of the best place to hike. It is only 400 metres high (1312 feet) and can easily be climebed in an hour but it is steep and challenging enough to get the heart pumping and lungs puffing. What's more, it is about the only hill in Peninsular Malaysia which is covered by lalang grass instead of trees so the views from the top are excellent. It is located at Broga, small town on the border of Selangor and Negeri Sembilan.

  

On 10th March, for the first time me and my friend decide to spend our weekend by hiking. Bukit Broga is perfect place for the hiking to the people who are first timer for the hiking world. For me the path of Bukit Broga to the top is not that challenging except on rainy days. I were quiet shocked to see the amout of people who visit the place at that day. The place was famous than what I thought.

The trail there is well worn and easy to follow. The trail climbs through a forested area fo 15 minutes or so before emerging at the foot of steep hill covered in grass. Here the tiring ascent begins but you will soon find yourself enjoying the fine views over the surrounding countryside. Take care, especially when coming back dow. The path can be slippery with mud, if it has been raining, or with, loose sand in the dry weather.

Overall, I feel Bukit Broga is a interesting place to hike. The veiw out there is so beautiful and also not that hard for a newbie to hike. It is very much advisable to wear proper shoe with strong grip to avoid any trip or fall.
