Bukit Tabur
« on: November 08, 2012, 10:00:58 AM »
Last 2week i have the opportunity to go to Bukit Tabur on Saturday.. Here are some details and pics that i would like to share..
Enjoy~ ^^

"Bukit Tabur is a hill located in Taman Melawati, Malaysia. It is also known locally as Bukit Hangus. The hill is very prominent as it is part of Klang Gates Quartz Ridge and can be seen from the Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2. The hill, which is less than 1000 metres, is a quartz ridge. Climbers enter the hiking trail via Kampung Klang Gates, 50 metres from the gates of the Klang Gates Dam, at the back of Taman Melawati for a 3-4 hour climb. The Gombak Forest Reserve and Klang Gates Dam are beside the hill. The peak offers s view of the dam.
The hiking trail to Bukit Tabur can be found at 3°14?1?N 101°44?55?E." -Wikipedia-

Nice pictures - looks well kept. Went there in 1994 - then the undergrowth was a mess.

It looks rocky & dangerous. If I'm not mistaken, there were some casualties before from what I read from news paper.

the rocky section looks challenging. certainly not for the novice climber.
