Nature hike to Malaysia’s Bukit Kutu
Bukit Kutu is a mountain near the town of Kuala Kubu Bharu, about a two-hour drive from Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur. At 1,050m high it was once a colonial hill station called ‘Treacher’s Hill’. Bombed by the Japanese during WW2 it was abandoned to the wild. Today, it has reverted back to nature.
Starting from the carpark at an elevation of 250m, the six-kilometre trail to the summit takes approximately three to four hours. The summit is a boulder offering panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and mountains
The hike, led by a certified nature guide, is a great team-building exercise for groups of up to 100 persons. It combines adventure and bonding while hiking through greenery passing local villages, waterfalls and other natural wonders.
