Bukit Kiara is my playground, but there are a few more hills in and around KL where you can hike and enjoy nature. The most popular of them is Bukit Gasing<\/a>, during weekends it can be a problem to find a parking for your car. The hill divides Petaling Jaya and\u00a0Kuala Lumpur, the trails start from the PJ side.<\/p>\n

Recently I have\u00a0come in contact with several groups of active hikers. I have joined a few “hashwalks” and made new friends. One of them is Master Ho,\u00a0he took\u00a0me\u00a0and others a few months ago to Air Hitam, see my blog Air Hitam, finally!\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0He is a regular walker in Bukit Gasing and \u00a0was willing\u00a0to guide me. My friend Hin was interested too.<\/p>\n

We met at the “Arch”, Master Ho came on his bike and had cycled already 31 km! In the picture he is receiving a call from the “General”, who also was joining the hike.<\/p>\n

Our first destination was the Indian Temple from where we had a nice (although a bit hazy) view of the Bukit Gasing jungle and the PJ skyline.<\/p>\n

The Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva is located next to the Telcom tower on the hilltop and was built by Indian workers who put up the first telecom tower, more than 50 years ago. Several landslides have occurred in recent years, after a major one in 2011 it was decided to demolish the temple. But it is still a place of worship and there are plans to rebuild it.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
