Cheap Travel - Selangor: Broga Hill

One of the view in between the peaks

Broga Hill is rapidly climbing the ranking in the heart of nature lovers nowadays. Located around 50km from KL towards south near Semenyih, its a very nice place to see sunrise and sunset. At the peak of the Broga hill, the view is awesome.

It is relatively easy to climb up as the trail are well marked and there are a lot of Malaysian climbers (especially during weekend) who are very friendly and helpful. It takes about 30-40 minutes to climb up to the first peak.

The trail at Broga Hill. Pretty well marked, makes climbing relatively easy

Broga has about 3 peaks where you can have a very amazing scenery while riding on the breeze.

During weekend, you might want to get there a bit early - I really mean very early, as early as 5am in the morning - as there will be a lot of climbers and the car park is not enough. The first time I went there, about 630am the car already spill out to the main road and need to walk more than 100 meters just to get to the entrance.
