There are two trails to reach the summit, Ulu Bendul & Bukit Putus. Bukit Putus Trail is shorter, and this review is the climb via Bukit Putus. For direction to the trailhead, you can just waze “Angsi” and then select the one with “Bukit Putus entrance”. Parking is abundance. If the one in front of the toilet & permit counter is full, you can park your cark near the “tengkolok” monument. You need to pay RM5 for entrance fee. If you come late, be prepared for the long queue especially during weekend and public holidays. There are toilet facilities & prayer room at the trailhead. The start is a bit steep, but for the rest of the trail is almost flat terrain. I would say 50-50 between steep flat terrain. The trail is wide and easy to recognised. You should reach the summit between 1.5 - 2.5 hrs depending on your fitness level. The summit is small, but enough space for you to take photo with the view. Overall, easy-moderate climb suitable for beginner hikers and good training ground for a more challenging hike onwards.
Such a great view at the top..the trail is a bit slippery when it rains..be prepared to have proper hiking shoes when planning to hike up ...
A very popular trail used by many trekkers. My advie would be to try the Bukit Putus starting point especially for beginners. Especially popular during weekends. The trail is well marked and with many trekkers ascending and descending, almost impossible to get lost!
For beginners, I would advise you to take it slow and easy. Do not rush as you might find the going very challenging especially if you are not used to trekking up a mountain. I would advise you to go in a group as the group dynamics will help push you to keep going.
Enjoy the scenery, stop to appreciate the various shapes and colors of the flora. You should come across some very strange shaped plants and flowers along the trail. Keep your ears tuned to the various sounds of the forest and you will soon appreciate the calls of various birds, monkeys, insects and other animals. Once you reach the peak, you will realize every ache in your muscles was worth it!
A great trail especially for those who enjoy nature walks and being away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Only an hour and half drive from KL City center.
I was here last 2 weeks. The trails is quite difficult for beginners. The view up there is worth it. I took entrance from Bukit Putus. I was told that the entrance from Ulu Bendol is much harder. Probably will try going through that route the next time I am here
Entrance fees - RM5
Ascent - 1hr 30min (peak)
Descent - 1hr 15min (plus running)
Easy to moderate
Starting point: from Bukit Putus
Good hike, nice track, windy.
I went up the trail one Saturday morning from Bukit Putus trail head. U just need to pay RM5 for the hiking permit at the starting point either at Bukit Putus or at Ulu Bendol. Normal hiking pace took us 1 1/2 hours to the peak. It was a cloudy and breezy day. It was a good day to hike. So after reached the peak rested awhile and eat the snacks we have brought up. Going down, we decided to try Ulu Bendul trail. It was longer and steep at first. Luckily we took this trail as we can stop by at the river and dip into the cool waters. It took us 2 1/2 hours on the way down including river detour. At Ulu Bendul you need to go back to Bukit Putus by walking takes you another 3km or find a taxi or other transport for a fee. It was a good around 14km exercise. I will try the other way around next time. You should too.
