We followed a camping trip organized by my sister-in-law. It was great that she includes this hidden gem in her schedule. There were total of 5 families with 7 adults, 1 teenager and 9 young children that following the trail. It was indeed challenging to opt for the trail going through rainforest, rocky hills, a cave and plantation with small children. However, with the assistance of the helpful and experienced guides, we made it ! The trip took us about 3 hours one way. The duration could be less if you would like to sacrifice exploring more spots and stopover for magnificent photographs. Do bring some snacks and water to refresh / rejuvenate along the way. We were soaked in the heavy rain in the forest and welcomed by bright sunny weather when we were out from the forest at the hills. A must try for trekking / hiking lover.

It was a challenge and it is technical, slippery and dangerous- BUT AMAZING! If you are not use to scrambling or climbing, then this would be a difficult challenge for you. It is steep, but I think that is the least of your worries, as it is very rocky and slippery. It is good that the guides emphasise this, because I can imagine a lot of people would underestimate the technicalities of this trek. However, the challenge for us was so much fun, we took a relaxed pace for us climbing up and made a careful descent. We left camp at 6:30am, got to the top where the majestic pinnacles were at 10:30am, ate lunch there and left at 11:30am. We then got back to camp at 3pm. Generally I think it takes larger groups a couple hours longer, it was only 2 of us with our guide. We did have to pay more for only having the 2 of us, but there were no other people to join with and we were the only ones up on the top. Worth paying the extra- it was like a private tour!! This was such a highlight of my year! The trek, the magical view and natural wonder at the top and the challenge! I would definitely do it again! Oh and swimming in the beautiful river at the end of our hike was such a highlight! We slept very well that night back at Camp 5! Thanks to Peter our awesome guide!!

My first time here. Entrance is about Rm3 if I remember correctly and You have unlimited access chilling with the fish. Its a river with crowd of fish. You going to have an experience of Nature Fish Spa. You can bring food, have a picnic . they have few huts where you can do BBQ and it just next to the river.

Oh wow! Tough! I love walking but the incline got to me . I wasn’t really prepared for the challenge. Lesson learned. I need to get better walking shoes with tighter ankle grip for walking down. It took us 2 and a half hours up and less coming down. We started at 10am and lucky that the day wasn’t too hot. So glad we made it to the top ! Hydrate often!! Take tiny sips every few mins , and even coming down. 1 ltr bottle should be enough for 1 person to drink and carry down.

Parking was easy and we started the hike well, brought along my dog (German Shepard) and she thoroughly enjoyed herself. There are not toilets around the area and not many bins, so remember to keep your trash with you. During rainy season it can get quite slippery.

Bukit Melati provides a respite to the worn and weary city-dwellers. It captivates with its abundance of greeneries, chirps of native fauna, and the choice of trails one can choose from. Located in Nilai, and it borders Sepang, a city in Selangor. Plenty of trails to choose from, one is spoilt for choice. Clean, and safe, and around the foot of the hill, there are just as many amenities. Toilets and aashrooms, and places to geab snacks from!
