Bukit Gasing Hiking

Hiking at Gasing Hill on Wedn 11 Dec 2019 which is a holiday in Selangor ... While our friends in Kuala Lumpur were busy working, we were busy hiking and enjoying nature :-) Since 10 Nov until to-date for exactly one month, the weather has been consistent: raining in the late afternoon and fine weather in the morning. Tough certain trails are wet and muddy, the air is fresh and cooling.

Wave Rock and Bukit Taisho

A recce trip at Bukit Taisho and Wave Rock @ Bukit Baginda of Kuala Pilah on 30 Nov 2019 ... it was drizzling the whole morning, and the hilltop of Bukit Taisho was engulfed with cloud/mist, just like in Genting highlands; one way is about 30 minutes. According to one regular hiker, viewing of sunrise and sunset is possible at the hilltop. 

Bukit Baginda is about 30 minutes' drive from Bukit Taisho. I was the only car parked at the car park of Bukit Baginda. At CP2 (check-point), there was a huge rock and I thought I have arrived within 15 minutes. There was a ranger there alone and I chatted with him for a while. According to the ranger, the Wave Rock is located at CP8. Due to the rain, I was hiking up and down the hill alone. The trails are well marked; one way to Wave Rock is about one hour from the car park.

A nice plan would be to view sunrise at Bukit Taisho, then hike Bukit Baginda to see Wave Rock; and have lunch at Kuala Pilah before returning to Kuala Lumpur.

GPS Locations: in Google Maps, type following search keys: Bukit Taisho starting point; Bukit Baginda trailhead.
