Broga Hill and Tok Wan Trail

Trekking and trail running at Broga Hill and Tok Wan Trail on a wet morning, Saturday 6 December 2014 ... It was raining the whole morning starting at 6:45 a.m.; so it was quite a challenge having to arrive at the peak and then return when overcoming the muddy and slippery ground.

This outing was graced by Mr Kellee Kam, CEO/Group Managing Director of RHB Banking Group, who trekked and ran with the team despite the adverse weather condition.

 A newly completed signage welcoming us at the start of Broga Hill amid heavy rain.

At mid-hill – the rain did not dampen the uplifting spirit. Look at the messy ground and imagine having to go up and down the muddy and slippery hill.

A few of us slipped and fell flat on the buttocks when descending the hill.

On the way down, I saw a young lady was strapped on a stretcher preparing to be carried down by the ambulance attendants; we were told that she slipped and fell.

At Broga Hill Peak before going to Tok Wan Trail. By now, most of us are wet: whether donning raincoat (the plastic material would cause sweating inside); 

breathable rain jacket (the water would seep through after prolonged exposing to rain); or without any rain gear.

We adjourned to the famous grill tilapia restaurant where the fish are wrapped in aluminium foil and grilled; the fish are raised in the adjacent pond.

With the simple cooking method, the freshness, natural sweetness and the aroma of the succulent fish are maintained: verdict – superb!

hmmm… after a good workout in the hill, it makes us really hungry looking at the mouth-watering fish.

Broga Hill and Tok Wan Trail

A recce trip at Broga Hill and Tok Wan Trail with Wilson Liew on Sunday, 16 November 2014 for a total distance of 4.8km (one way). Both Wilson and I have not been to Tok Wan Trail before. 

From car park to the end point of Broga Hill, there were many people; so we were not able to run. Instead, we were taking photographs excitedly with a sea of mist or cloud probably caused by heavy rain the day before. Even when approaching Broga area at 7:00 a.m., the entire area was engulfed in mist. 

Beyond the huge rocks where the end point of Broga Hill is, it was a stark contrast. Entering into Tok Wan Trail, there were no people. Occasionally, we met a few trekkers along the trails. The funny thing was that they always asked me whether I have been to the end point of Tok Wan Trail; to which I responded: ini kali pertama (this is my first time in this Tok Wan Trail). 

So both of us ran and ran and ran traversing the winding trails and going through at least 8 hills to arrive at the end point of Tok Wan Trail. Compare with the scenic view of Broga Hill, it is just a clearing with a signage for Tok Wan Trail of 675 meters above sea level. The entire journey is good for trekking or trail running.

 Broga Hill is crowded with people

 A sea of mist of cloud … we must be lucky to be able to see such a unique and scenic view

 I was surprise that at 7:30 a.m., the sky is very blue

 Beautiful !

 Above the cloud feeling

Adjourn to the famous grill tilapia fish restaurant. The fishes are reared in the pond just beside the restaurant.

Quite interestingly, my last visit at Broga Hill was on 14 June 2009 (more than 5 years ago) when I assembled a team to trek in Mount Everest Base Camp. Do click here ...

The reason for not visiting Broga Hill for such a long time is because Broga it is not challenging enough. But with the Tok Wan Trail, this should be a good mountain for trekking or trail running.
