This hill got no chill at all. Right from the start it was a difficult trail, an endless hell of inclining steps. If you’re on mountain training, go for it. If you’re a couch potato like me, just stay home, don’t trouble yourself climbing this hill. However, a lot of steep areas are equipped with ropes – thank you, love you, bless you. We were in the area for about 7 hours, not 1 single monkey made an appearance (although their relative, the gibbons can be heard making beautiful sounds communicating with each other). Plus, be careful with the abundance of wild palm trees as their thorns are sharp (I got some in my hands…). My friends and I made a bizarre choice of not wanting to return the same direction we came in so we ended up climbing up and down the Apek Hill trail which is side by side with Saga Hill. We came in from Ampang, got out at Hulu Langat. 7 hours of jungle trekking dude 😂😭
Awesome place for hiking. You can have a great view of KL city. At the peak got resting place. You can find two of hiking there one is just going up and coming down another one will lead you to a waterfall. I love this place.
We hiked Bukit Saga via Trail C. You can go for the waterfall, which the locals say has a nice view. Unfortunately for us, we couldn’t make it despite being just 10 minutes away due to heavy rain. Definitely will come again.
It was one of the best trails we’ve been to. It’s not as easy as we thought.
It took us 2 hours to reach the waterfall (taking C trail)
We decided to take a different route on the way back, and we ended up missing the road and went to a construction area and lost under the sun for more than 4 hours. It was really tiring.
Difficulty 8/10
Clear guide 4/10
Fun 10/10
Only made in up to 300m from the ground.. and then decided to walk down 😂
Highlights:
1. It’s a hilly trail from the beginning & up to the waterfall (I believe). U will deal with endless high steps there. Expect the worst as it’s not going to be easier 🤣
2. Don’t explore it in a rainy day. Believe me, it’s already challenging even when it dries. Use shoes with some profile on the sole.
3. Some area they have some to ropes help go u up/down.
4. From the ground to the waterfall might take 3 hours (in a steady speed, beginner climber).
5. Prepare some water, gloves, choc bar, towel at the very least.
6. Stay on the trail, don’t go divert unless u think u need more challenges.
7. Don’t go alone (never).
I decided to go down as I couldn’t catch up my breath well due to the steps and it was going to rain. So after almost 40mins, 300m from the ground.. I gave up.
I walk to these kind of places but this is my 1st time I gave it up. Perhaps my stamina was bad, but expect all the hills all the way up.
I went here by grab in weekday
