Broga Hike

Broga hill is a famous place for hiking, jogging and photography. Not many people know about this place well. If you are not sure what and where is broga, search in wikipedia. Broga is located on the border of Selangor and Negeri Sembilan in Malaysia about 50 kilometres from Kuala Lumpur and approximately 33 kilometres from Seremban (capital of Negeri Sembilan).

Four of us decided to depart early morning to watch the sunrise but unfortunetly it was drizzling at our place called Sunway. Crossing our fingers, we prayed that the rain would not fall once we reached Broga Hill.

This is the entry to Broga Hill. At the base of the hill, you will encounter lots of oil palms trees.
We started hiking up the hill. There are pathways for people to walk up and along the way, you will see tall bushes.

There were 4 peaks of hills. We firstly hike up to the first peak of Broga. You really need a good stamina and good shoes to walk up. The pathway gets slippery when it rains. Remember to bring a walking stick when you hike up to prevent yourself rolling down the steep hill. To those who have height phobia, do not climb up unless you feel curious to do so.
The view at the top is absolutely fantastic ! I would say it is worth to hike up and camp up there for the night. You will feel the calmness of the surroundings and the winds blowing at your face.
The green grasses are nice and relaxing to the eyes. It's like being in the countryside. People at the top of the hill will be singing their countryside songs, photo shooting and relaxing on the rocks.
This shot was taken from the first peak of the hill. I think the second and third peaks of the hills are much higher from the first one because me and my friends did not manage to hike up the rest of the peaks as the weather turned bad.

We spend most of our time at the first peak enjoying the peace and scenery.
Looks like i made it to the top of the hill at last !! But it's only the first peak.....

We decided to walk down the hill since the weather turned cloudy and drizzling. It was not the best day we had and we will be back to conquer all the 4 peaks of Broga next time. As we reached the base of the hill, i spotted this green MyVi car which matched the oil palm trees colour. Haha !

We were so hungry at that time and immediately drove to Kajang town for its famous delicious satays! You will find various types of satays like fish satays, chicken satays, beef satays, duck satays, mutton satays and the list goes on. The best part of this trip was the food and not so much of the hiking activity!
