Hiking Trails: Sri Bintang

It’s been a while since the Jungle Babes have tried a new trail. Partly because we needed a trail around Desa Park City, partly because everyone was getting a bit bored of Bukit Gasing, and maybe because I was feeling brave enough to lead the Babes blindly into a new trail, we decided to try

Hiking Trails: Kota Damansara

It’s the school holidays and the Jungle Babes (with cubs in tow) decided to try a new hiking trail. We found the Kota Damasara Community Forest which is a lovely, family friendly, hiking trail that was largely undulating and very well marked. Most intersections had maps posted and there were signs and clear markings all

The Jungle Babes Photo Shoot Exclusive at Sungai Pisang!

The plan was to explore a new hiking trail called Sungai Pisang, aka “Banana River”. When we mapped out our timelines, it went something like this: Drive to Sungai Pisang: 30 to 45 minutes Hiking in Sungai Pisang: 45 minutes Picnic at waterfall: 30 to 60 minutes Take photos along the way: ??? Who would

Training Day – Bukit Gasing Hill Climbs

According to one of the Jungle Babes, this hiking trail at Bukit Gasing was harder than the Northface Outdoor Challenge so I am going to share the route here. We did this trail a week before TNF Outdoor Challenge as part of our preparation for the distance. It was supposed to be a 10km trail

Jungle Babes in the Bukit Saga – Apek Hill Adventure

When the Jungle Babes made a return trip to Bukit Saga – Apek Hill… About a year ago, the Jungle Babes made our first trip to Bukit Saga – Apek Hill. We had a guide back then because the trail was unfamiliar. It was a challenging hike with some serious inclines – especially from the

Merdeka Hike through Shah Alam Community Forest

Merdeka Day holiday meant that the Babes would not be free to hike so I dragged the boys on a family hike to Shah Alam Community Forest. For a group of kids who don’t much like hiking, I have to say that they did pretty well. These were the stats I recorded on my Garmin:

Jungle Babes in Bukit Saga

Okay so this trip report is way over due… The last time we did Bukit Saga, we went in through the old access to the trail head from Jalan Saga 28. Unfortunately, that has since been closed off to the public, but you can still do Bukit Saga if you enter from Jalan Taman Saga.

Activity Tracking with the Garmin Fenix 3 HR

So Chinese New Year is officially over and with it goes the feeding frenzy. It’s time to claw my way back to some semblance of fitness with the new bling on my wrist from DH who heartily encourages my obsession with stats. The Good Yes. We’ve traded the Apple Watch for the Garmin Fenix 3 HR which has some

Jungle Janes: The Return to Bukit Tabur West

Can it be nearly 14 years ago that I last hiked Bukit Tabur West? Hiking Permit A new regulation came into effect a couple of years back and you now require a hiking permit to hike at Bukit Tabur (East and West) which you can get from the Forestry Department in Cheras: Address: Km 11, Jalan

Bukit Tabur East

Hard to believe it’s been over a decade since I last hiked at Bukit Tabur… Back then I didn’t even know there was an “east” and “west” trail. As it turns out, the last trail we hiked was the “west” trail and this time, I got to go back for the “east” trail. Bukit Tabur East
