About the trail to Ampang Lookout Point (from the Saga-Watergate junction):

(1) at least 5 quite steep downhill slopes (so there would be more going uphill during the returning journey);

(2) compare to Ah Meng /Watergate trail, this trail is narrow and one needs both hands to hold on to the small tress to prevent one from sliding downhill; I find that going uphill, though require more energy, is more comfortable than going downhill; 

(3) one way is about 1.5 hours; the returning journey would be almost the same time;

(4) the trails are obvious, guided by the red ribbon markers for the entire trails.
