Broga Hill

This is the shortest post that I had so far. Well, it's merely a couple of hours of outdoor fun so there isn't really much to talk about. Instead I have posted larger pictures compared to all my previous posts for you to view here and hopefully you can visualize and enjoy the trip as much as I do ... yeah, I mean visualize it.

Broga hill is located at Semenyih, near to the University of Nottingham. It is about 45 minutes to 1 hour drive from Petaling Jaya.

There are 3 mini hills there and the hike up will take about 1 hour. If you are very fit I am sure you can do it in 20 minutes without stopping. Coming down is definitely much faster because it is downhill all the way.

At the entrance of the hill is the palm oil plantation. This is where we parked the cars and start the hike.

There is nothing difficult about the hike. You just need to have stamina to continue walking or climbing the steps. In the beginning, it is a simple walk like the ones you see below.

Of course there are some parts that are slightly difficult. You just need to give yourself a little push.

After that it is uphill all the way. It is more like climbing a staircase. During the weekends, there will be a lot of people hiking up the hills. Some are senior citizens and there are also kids too. There are also people that goes as early as 5am to catch the sunrise at this place. For us, it is the sunset.

The scenery up there is beautiful as you can see for yourself.

By 6.30pm, you will start to see the sun set. Isn't it beautiful?






This shot was taken from the 3rd hill.

By 6.45pm, the sky was already getting dark. I took a few quick shots and a few more on my way down. By the time we reached the foot of the hill, it was already 7.30pm. We were sweaty, hot, thirsty and tired but there were no complaints. I guess all of us had a good time laughing and hiking all the way up and down. Well, a good exercise for us all.
