KKB Paragliding Site, Bukit Batu Pahat and Batu Belah

The recce hike on Wedn, 23 Sept 2020 at Kuala Kubu Bharu (KKB) has a few nice spots for photo shoots – the paragliding site, Batu Pahat and Batu Belah. Batu Pahat site is just next to the paragliding site, but Batu Belah site is another 500 meters further down the hill towards the Indian temple side.

Trail head from Taman Tasik Milenium 

Not knowing the terrain, we – ChanHN, Henry, Irene, Nelsson, Gillian Ong, Felicia Hew and yours truly – actually did a Trans Exploratory hike: we hiked up to the peak where the paragliding take-off site is situated; then descended the hill to the other side of the hill (where there is an Indian temple); then back track to the peak, and descended to the trail head. The route from Taman Tasik Milenium is following the 4WD yellow-earth road; whereas the trail from Indian temple is a fairly steep hiking trails. Started at around 8am, we returned to trail head at around 2pm.
