For those who’s bonded with nature, KL would be a great city to live with variety of energetic and challenging trekking trails. There are various levels of trails to choose whether you are a beginner or a professional hiker.
Today, we tried an easy trail, Bukit Sri Bintang, which is not far from city center, only 20 minutes drive from KL Sentral. It is a bit crowded in the early morning, as crowded as Broga Hill, I suppose. There are multiple trails at the hills and all are well-marked.
Bukit Sri Bintang is actually the twin peaks of hill. It takes around 30 – 40 minutes to reach peak 1 and another 15-20 minutes to peak 2.
There are some challenging paths with support ropes along the way. However, there will always be another path to reach the spot if you do not want to challenge yourself. Most of the trails are not too long comparing to other trekking trails in Kuala Lumpur, so do not be afraid of being lost, you will definitely find a way out.
When you reach the 1st peak, don’t miss the ‘yellow valley’ on your left. It is more like a wasteland valley where many beautiful shapes are formed causing by extreme pressure of water or wind during rainy season, I guess. There are some different ways heading to the yellow valley. Choose your favorite one and head up to the valley to take some good pictures there. Save some sweet memories with your hiking partners.
Besides, there are many beautiful stacked stones in the valley. Especially there are an impressive Twin Towers stacked stone about 2 meters high which is, I believe, a favorite check-in spot of many visitors.
There are not many trees at the peaks, at yellow valley and along the stairways trail to the 2nd peak. Wearing a hat to keep the heat out.
The path leads to the second stop is stairway which offers you a better view – the unblocked views of the city and the landed terrace houses right below the hill. You might want to stop along the way to take some photos of this stunning stairs trail and the panoramic view below.
Bukit Sri Bintang can be a good moderator workout at the weekends. It is definitely recommended for all beginners to train before a harder trail or family trek at the weekends to unwind and recharge your energy. It is also kid-friendly and pet-friendly hike. There were many kids make it to the 2nd stop. Some of them are around 5 or 6 years old. Amazing!
