I was first introduced to Broga Hill in August 2008 after seeing Kathy's photos of the scenic Broga Hill. click here. So I told her that one day, I shall trek at Brogal Hill.

I visited the place two weeks ago on 30 May 2009, and on Saturday 13 June, I am back again. This time, I went together with a group of trekkers.

A few days before this trekking trip, I was worried as the haze problem suddenly became serious on 11 June. So I informed the trekkers that while we could not change the outcome of nature, when we go to Broga Hill, we would have to treat the haze as misty effect.

Nevertheless, the heavy rain at 5pm (the day before) and again at 3am on the day of trekking bring brief respite to the haze problem that is engulfing Klang Valley. During rainy season, a downpour on the eve of trekking day would mean the ground is wet, stream is full of water. This time, the heavy rain before the trekking trip is most welcomed to clean up the air.

The group has a wonderful time together at Broga Hill. Most noticable is Juliette's three adorable dogs which gained much popularity and attention with other trekkers.

We concluded the trekking trip by having a sumptuous lunch at the famous restaurant in Broga town (landmark: a big Chinsese temple) serving Ikan Bakar. Warning: if you do not tolerate the sub-standards facility and service offer by the restaurant, do not go there!
