It's Been Awhile: Broga Hills, Semenyih.

Last weekend on Sunday, me and SDI people went hiking at Broga Hills, Semenyih ;) It wasn't really a well-planned event nor an impromptu trip but it just happened. At first we wanted to go there early in the morning to have a view of the sunrise at the top of the hill but it rained cats and dogs so we postponed the trip exactly after Subuh Prayer around 6 a.m. 3 cars altogether...

Here's a sneak preview of the Broga Hills. Broga Hills situated in Broga, a small town that sits at the border of two states; Selangor and Negeri Sembilan in Malaysia. Broga falls under mukim (sub-district) of Semenyih in the Hulu Langat district. It took us about 15 minutes and so to get there from Bandar Baru Bangi. It was approximately 45 minutes to get to the first peak of the Broga Hills, altogether 4 peaks. And the distance is about 1.7 km.

Actually it's been awhile since I last went hiking. So it really brings back memories way back to UPM time. We were so-called FORESTERs at that time. Personally I think I should shed some calories and I reckon the easiest way to do so are by exercising, climbing, walking, jogging, hiking, swimming and moving and things like that - you get the idea. So guys, where we're up to next time? ;)

Here are some of the pictures taken during the event. It was breathtaking, SubhanaAllah~ So it's true when one says Life is a climb, the view is beautiful. Although some says to hike Broga Hills wasn't that tough and pretty short in term of the distance but you'll might be surpised by the amazing view. Half of the Broga Hills are covered by 'lalang' and the locals also called it Bukit Lalang. To get there you'll need to pass through palm oil plantation, then half of the hills are forest and the rest is 'lalang'.

We managed to be at the first lookout point at around 8.30 a.m and we can see most of the whole Town of Semenyih. It seemed to be a very famous place to go to do recreational, nowadays. But make sure you at least eat something and do warmups before you hike. ;) It was pretty sunny up the hill and after a few minutes enjoying the view, taking up pictures, we decided to head to Sungai Tekala, had our lunch and enjoying the nature. Despite of the aching, the pain, the sweat, the hard times climbing Broga, it was a splendid trip altogether. Advisable, you guys should go there too. And make sure you do not litter your used water bottle, food etc into the forest. Sayangi lah Hutan Kita~

It's been a pleasure knowing these girls~ ;)

We're on TOP OF THE WORLD~
