Broga Hill

I have always wanted to go to Broga Hills, been seeing a lot of picture of this place from my friends in their Facebook.

Broga Hill also known as Bukit Lalang (beautiful lalang actually-when combine with other greeny plants around the hill and the awesome reflection of sunshine in the morning) is about 40 minutes from Subang Jaya or Kuala Lumpur. Located in Semenyih, it is very much nearer to University of Nottingham, and the entrance are facing a rabbit park. You can park your car (RM2 per entry) in between the palm oil trees.

We went on Sunday, so it was a bit crowded with other visitors. If you were late, even a bit late, you will be bumping with other visitors getting down. And the tracks, eventhough relatively easy, was...a bit narrow with people going up and going down during that time. Our fault, we were a bit late (with some important business in the morning..hihihi). Woke up at 4am, waiting at Petronas at 5am and then Subuh prayer at another Petronas located near Broga Hill we finally started off at around 7am. So yeap...sedikit lambat di situ. So, you need to sleep early the night before.

Okay, so there are a few things that you might need to bring. Here's the suggestions:-

1) Torch Light (if you hiking at early morning-to catch the sunrise)
2) Small towel
3) A bottle of water
4) Chocolate/sweets (for energy)
5) Insect Repellent
6) Slipper/other shoe (you might need this when you get back to the car after hiking. Your sport shoe might get very very dirty afterwards-so you can put this in your car, no need to carry up the hill)

The view captured while hiking...sun's coming up



Good Morning, Broga Hill!
Awesome reflection...good spot for those who love photography+outdoor activities.
I was just using my Blackberry instead of a real camera. But it turn out quite good too...I think. :)

The amazing view and some strangers

This cute little dog was hiking too....4-wheel so easier for him

Believe me, it was quite okay but that doesn't mean you will not sweat. You have to have a good stamina...that and a slow and easy pace while hiking.

When going down, it was a bit tricky as the tracks are now a bit muddy and slippery (from the many visitor's steps coming up/down and been raining few days before) and at some point was 45 degrees going down? Lucky there were ropes and trees to hold on and rocks to steady ourself.

Reached the car and we took few minutes to clean off the mud on our shoes and change to a clean slipper. It was a good outting with friends while exercising. Later after that, we had a big breakfast. Each of us somehow craving for Nasi Lemak. And then home to catch some sleep and rest (except me).

Thanks Broga Hills and we will certainly come again. This time much earlier or maybe on weekdays.
