Assalamualaikum, hello again! This post is so long overdue I'm so sorry!
Hope you're not too bored to read another post of mine haha. As promised, I'll be writing about my so called adventure! Hiking je pun uols acah macam adventure teroks hahaha.
It all started when my friends and I gather for our annual Raya Celebration, Amanose asked if I wanted to go on a hike? So I was like nahhh taknak lah if KD10 (which is Denai Tiga Puteri) in front of our high school. Sebab yang tu penat doh hahahaha.
But then I suddenly remembered that Zuhdi is a pro in this field so I thought it would be a better idea if we could ask him to tag along. And we instantly & randomly asked him at that moment "Zuhdi jom hiking" hahaha and then he was like onz roger nak pergi bila. Cool.
So Amanose planned with Zuhdi, and when he asked the level of difficulty of hiking that we wanted, we daringly went for an intermediate one. Fuh. But according to him, he actually brought us to an easier-level-hill lol. Guess where we went to? Drum roll please.
Bukit Botak, Puncak Alam!
I think it's around 30++ minutes from Kota Damansara. We drove off around 730 A.M. And if I'm not mistaken we started our hiking around 9 or less. Okay first of all, it's definitely and easier track compared to Denai Tiga Puteri. BUT! The hill is super steep. Curam! Even at the starting point. Which made my legs lenguh! Weak legs shaking uols. Padahal baru nak mula je hahahahaha sumpah rasa macam nak turun balik boleh tak?
Jk. Of course we continued our hiking hahaha. One of the things that is special at Bukit Botak other than its bald peak (if that even make sense hahaha) is the electricity pylon. Probably the closest one that we can get I guess?
Bukit Botak ni ada 3 puncak overall. Compared to Hutan Simpan Kota Damansara which has a narrower track and is shady, Bukit Botak's trail is wider and more exposed to the sun. So it's pretty hot. Make sure to put on your sunblock, wear your hat and bring your water with you to keep hydrated.
And the highlight - I present to you the bald peak!
I know nampak tak menyelerakan je kan macam padang pasiaq hahaha it's okay because before getting to this peak, Bukit Botak do have some green scenery to offer yall.
On our way down we actually encountered with a snake. Not a very big one and the boys shoo-ed it away so we're safe alhamdulillah. So yeah, just be extra careful especially around the bushes.
Percentage ke-function-an hiking was 50% because we cooked and some maggi when we were at the peak hahahaha thanks to Zuhdi for bringing all the necessary equipments and tools and others for the sponsored Maggi lol. And guess what? We ate mcd before going home. Okbye function sangat hahaha.
To sum it up,
Location : Bukit Botak, Puncak Alam
Cons : Puncak panas |
