Saga Hill Trial

Reviewed By csChai - Malaysia, null

There are a few trails to hike up Bukit Saga from Taman Saga. Trail A and C are the popular trails taken by hikers. Trail B is now closed due to construction works. The trails up this hill are of moderate difficulty and they are well-marked and well-trodden. If you are new to this hill, just follow the crowd on any weekend. There is an open space at the top of Bukit Saga with a big noticeboard, rest huts, hammocks and a makeshift cooking area. The hilltop area is well maintained and clean. Alternatively, we can hike to Bukit Saga from the neighbouring hill, Bukit Putih, which is more commonly called Bukit Ah Pek. Hike up one of the Bukit Ah Pek trails till we reach the Bukit Ah Pek hilltop (Station 6). From there, proceed to Bukit Saga. This trail is much longer than the Saga A and C trails. For the more adventurous (and stronger) hikers, we can hike to the Bukit Saga waterfall. One of the clearer and easier trails to the waterfall is from Station 5 along the Bukit Ah Pek trail. Please take note that the last part of the trail just before reaching the waterfall is quite steep and slippery due to soil erosion. Happy Hiking!

It's a great place for hiking. Do check for the weather if you are planning to hike here. As the trail is slippery after it rains.

Sasaran Beach

Reviewed By DWELSingapore

We did the Sky Mirror tour with Fun Life at Selangor again and we set off at the Sky Mirror jetty at about 10 am. The timing varies every month based on tide timing. We thought the Sasaran sand strip or sandbar will be crowded as such tour can be done only several days a month during the new & full moon periods.. We were surprised to see a vast sandbar or sand strip that seemed to stretch far & beyond, no wonder the locals called it the Sasaran beach. Fun LIfe's boat captain & photographer were extremely patient and experienced. We spotted several dolphins to & fro the journey to the Sasaran sandbar. There was no rush throughout the duration of our photos to catch the sky-mirror effects. Every boat comes with a very experienced photographer (there were 4 Fun Life at Selangor boats that day) and we spent a solid 2.5 hours at Sasaran Sky Mirror. Fun LIfe at Selangor boats looked new and appeared to be well maintained and their life jackets were relatively new too. Communication with Ms Ng, the co-owner of the family-run tour, was very easy & she is always prompt & clear in her replies. She even sent us the details on what to expect, where to park, the maps of Kuala Selangor and what to bring prior to our trip. You will need to provide your passport details for insurance purposes as regulated by the local tourism board for the safety and security of visitors 3 days before the visit. We strongly recommend a trip to Kuala Selangor - the shops & streets of this fishing village still very much retains its old kampung charm.

Setia Alam Community Trail

Parking was easy and we started the hike well, brought along my dog (German Shepard) and she thoroughly enjoyed herself. There are not toilets around the area and not many bins, so remember to keep your trash with you. During rainy season it can get quite slippery.

Sky Mirror

Reviewed By JulianaSaujana - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

It was a last minute decision to join Sky Mirror tour with a local company called Fun Life since we were on a day trip to Sekinchan. This decision turned out to be the highlight of the day. Eric from Fun Life was very prompt with his replies and facilitated our trip. The boat captain ensure that the ride to and from Sasaran Beach was not only safe but exciting. It was fascinating to behold the vast sand bar appearing gradually in front of our very eyes, in the middle of Malacca Straits. The experience was nothing short of amazing. Our entourage of five would like to thank you, Ah Seng the photographer for his patience and creativity during the photo session and also the boat captain ( sorry, forgot his name) for ensuring that the tour was leisurely paced and enjoyable.......it made our day !????

Batu Caves

These impressive limestone caves are also used for Hindu festivals and pilgrimages.

Reviewed By NandanRao - Bengaluru, India

Climbing the colorful 272 steps, one reaches the huge cave - also housing the temple of Lord Murugan. The cave is amazing, very tall and spacious and very cool even in the hot Malaysian weather. The stair climb is a good workout with lot of photo stops and monkey encounters! Once reaching the top, you enter the large cave with various temples. This being one of the oldest temples in Malaysia is holy to Hindus, To enter the temple area, you need to remove footwear. The cave itself is very large, the rock and limestone formations are amazing to see and the entire area is surprisingly clean. Beware of the mosquitoes in the cave. It would be advisable to carry an insect repellent - especially after the perspiring 272 step climb! The other interesting part of this area is the Ramayana Cave. The story of Ramayana depicted via colorful idols is thoroughly enjoyable Tips: 1. Carry an insect repellent (mosquitoes) 2. Be careful of monkeys, if they see anything colorful in your hands they just grab 3. Go early in the morning to beat the crowds and sun 4. Visit the Ramayana cave (5RM per person)

FRIM -Forest Research Institute of Malaysia

Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife on the nature trails. Then enjoy a bird's-eye-view of the trees by crossing the Canopy Walkway. This unique conservation facility is located 20 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur.

Reviewed By Travel_V0rtex

Johnson, our guide, was very knowledgeable and interesting, explaining all about seed dispersal, plant species, rainforest ecology and the local history of the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM). The hike was great (although definitely bring mosquito repellant and wear long clothing and hiking boots for protection) and we learned a lot about the different species of trees and that the FRIM is a completely man-made rejuvenated forest of over 1,500 acres which used to be open-cut tin mines. Our favourite part of the hike was observing the "Crown Shyness" - a beautiful mosaic caused by a mysterious natural phenomenon where the leaves of the canopy layers "shy" away from each other. You need to book a guide in advance if you want this experience. We also did Batu Caves in the morning and then tagged on FRIM in the afternoon which is doable for a whole day trip.
