Bukit Kutu

Since the last Apek Hill hiking, I am going for Bukit Kutu after 2 months. It is situated near to Kuala Kubu Bharu (KKB) at Hulu Selangor, where you will pass through Selangor Dam during the way to Fraser Hill. It took us approximately 2 hours driving journey from KL.

The trekking at KKB has gained its popularity due to the popular Lata Medang waterfall and Bukit Kutu. As it is fasting month, only threes cars were spotted at the car parking area on the Saturday morning. 

At 830 am, we started to ascend. First part of trek was an easy flat route, before entering the bamboo forest. Along the route, falling bamboos were scattered around and we have to bend down most times with stems overhead. We grabbed some rest at Checkpoint 5 (C5) before heading up again.

Early trail.

We reached Bukit Kutu peak at 12pm, standing tall at 3456 feet above ground. Taking three more ladders, our sights are caught with a panoramic view of vast forests, blue clouds and still lake rivers. Absolute peace of mind.

One picture speaks thousand words. From the peak.

We took Nasi Lemak and a hot Nescafe drink before descending, as a reward of hard work for everyone. Finally, we back to the starting point again at 4pm and it was a long 7.5 hours spent hiking. Goodbye Bukit Kutu, until we meet again.
