Hear From Others

A short climb for a rewarding view. Bukit Kledang is only 800 meters tall, but what is even better is that you do not need to reach the summit to enjoy the view. In fact, the summit has got little to no view at it is blocked by trees. A short climb to mid-hill around 250 meters high, you will get an unobstructed view of Ipoh which is the best spot to take pictures.

As we hiked up the hill, we saw light slowly rising from the mountains and reflecting its rays onto the lush greenery around us. It was chilly as we went further up the road. The green that swallowed us were humming the music of the forest. We could hear the sounds of water, and a monkey made an appearance from the tree top.
