Spending time at Bukit Tunku looking point

Peace be upon you. From yesterday afternoon...

Friday 4th October 2024. After attending a function at ISTAC (International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilisation) in the hilly area of Bukit Tunku I went to another part of the hills.

This is a part designated as the Bukit Tunku looking point.

I first know about this place just under a year ago.  Look at the following old articles :-

1. Views from Bukit Tunku lookout point at night

2. Views from Bukit Tunku lookout point in daytime

Since then I have been here many times to enjoy the atmosphere and views...

Climbing up Bukit Lanjan - Part II

Continuing from Finally, climbing up Bukit Lanjan.

There are still higher areas than the one previously seen.

Finally, arrived at the structure marking the peak  of Bukit Lanjan.

I arrived at 6.18, after spending more than 20 minutes at the previous significant point waiting for a sudden rain to subside.

At 6.38 I started going down via a different trail.

Like when climbing up there were parts which I found hard to discern the trail but no as bad.

Still in the jungle when this picture was taken at 7.01.

It was only at 7.13 that I could see the apartment I passed by on the way up.

At 7.14 saw the tarred road ahead. Then only I could say am safely out.

Finally, climbing up Bukit Lanjan

Peace be upon you. Something very recent.

Tuesday afternoon 1st October 2024, after weeks of postponing due to unforeseen circumstances, I finally decided to go and climb the hill called Bukit Lanjan.

I have studied the available trails on the Internet since earlier September and have gone to survey the area at less twice.

I decided to start from a trail behind these bushes.

I entered at around 5.

That to me should give sufficient time to arrive at the peak at over 300 metres above sea level and then arrive back down before dark.

What was unexpected is the condition of the trail is obscured at many junctures due to fallen trees and growths.

Luckily I managed to get back on trail each time after at least 3 times losing track at 3 different junctures. 

But that took some time as I have to cut through thick growths.

At 5.43 I arrived at this concrete road leading to telecommunications towers towards the peak.

At this juncture there is no fear of getting lost...

This picture was taken at 5.50 indicating I have arrived at a significant point of the hill.
