#hikingtrails #100waysoftravel #weekendfun #malaysia If you’re looking for a thrilling weekend hike near Kuala Lumpur, Bukit Tabur should be at the top of your list. Known for its stunning views and challenging terrain, this ridge hike offers an exciting adventure for outdoor enthusiasts. We started early in the morning to avoid the heat and found ourselves quickly immersed in nature. The trail itself is a mix of rocky climbs and steep sections, but every step was worth it. As we ascended, the breathtaking views of the Klang Gates Dam and the surrounding greenery opened up, offering perfect photo spots along the way. Bukit Tabur is not for beginners, but with a bit of preparation, it’s an unforgettable experience. The hike takes around 3-4 hours depending on your pace, and the feeling of standing at the top, looking over the ridges and valleys, is truly rewarding. Tips: Start early, bring plenty of water, and wear good hiking shoes. Be cautious of the steep parts, and make sure to descend before noon to avoid the heat. A perfect weekend escape for adventure seekers!

Kopi Saigon has many outlets around Malaysia, and here I am getting my first sip of their Creme Brulee Coffee! Cost me RM 12, the coffee was sweet and yet too sweet for me, actually, but the creme brulee fulfil each of my taste bud! ♡ The shop was soothing, very refreshing layout and even has a section for photograph! I'm looking forward to trying another menu soon ♡ Kopi Saigon Setapak Lot 2-G-11, Ground Floor, Wisma Rampai, Jalan 34/26, Setapak, 53300 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur #deliciousfood #foodie #cafe

This coffee shop went viral on KL foodie and it catches my attention! I end up going here after months suppressing my desire to try. Me and my boyfriend tried their Nasi Uduk with ayam geprek and also I ordered their tiramisu drink and a glass of ice water. It costs RM 35.80 which for me, it's a bit pricey but not to worry about it financially because the taste is so worth it. The special about the sambal is the taste it not to spicy for a spicy lover like me and I love how they put lime leaf that makes the sambal smells super scrumptious! And as you could see, the pictures speaks themselves. The ambiance is chilling, a bit hazardous after thr entrance, beware of a slight inclining after the door entrance and also I love how they decorated the coffee shop so much! It's a 7.5☆ from me ☺️ Wishing to go to Indonesia this year for a food hunting trip and also new experiences of Indonesia nature ♡ #deliciousfood #2023travelwish #foodie #awesomepic #couplestrip 126-G-3A, 126 Metro Genting Klang, Jalan Genting Kelang, Setapak, 53300, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur is buzzing with fiery flavors and international eats, but today we’re zeroing in on spicy cravings with a visit to Pretty's Hot Chicken Setapak—KL’s answer to Nashville hot chicken lovers wanting a little heat and a lot of crunch! Pretty's Hot Chicken Setapak 📍 Shop 3, Pusat Perniagaan Palet, 2, Jalan 3/23a, Setapak, 53300 Kuala Lumpur 🔥 Signature dish: Nashville-style hot chicken—crispy, juicy, and served with pickles, slaw, and fries. 🏞️ Vibe: Casual diner with pops of neon and a street-food edge, perfect for chill hangouts or grab-and-go bites. 🕒 Opening hours: 12:00 PM – 10:00 PM daily Key strengths: It’s all about the perfectly fried chicken, Southern-inspired sides, and generous portions. The menu offers heat levels so you can customize your spice adventure. Personal tip: Although it’s hyped up as a must-try, I found the heat underwhelming and the sauce too mild—not exactly delivering that fiery punch you might expect. For true spice hunters, temper expectations; it’s more of a mid-tier meal than a flavor bomb. Pro tip: Come early to avoid the dinner rush, and pair your chicken with their loaded fries for a satisfying combo. #KualaLumpur #HotChicken #Setapak #FoodieKL #SpicyEats

Hiking Bukit Tabur in Selangor with a friend was an unforgettable adventure. The trail was challenging but rewarding, offering stunning views lush greenery with far view of the KL city. As we ascended, behind us are the Klang Gates Quartz Ridge lake view. Reaching the summit, we were greeted with a breathtaking panorama of the city skyline and the distant mountains. The sense of accomplishment and the shared experience with my friend made the hike even more special. #malaysiatrip

This hill, which is 396 meters (1,300 feet) high, is the longest quartz ridge in the world. Bukit Tabur has a Bukit Dipterocarp forest. There is a lot of flora in this hill that has medicinal value. Climbers enter via the Kampung Klang Gates trail, 50 meters from the Klang Gates Dam gate, behind Melawati Park for a quick 3-4 hour hike. The summit provides a magnificent view of the dam. This hill has several peaks that can be followed. However, after passing several peaks, climbers will head to a dead end. That is the last peak where the climber can see the entire scenery around him. Usually Bukit Tabur is climbed for training purposes for climbers who will climb higher mountains. It is advised to anyone who wants to climb this hill to ensure that the fitness level is in good condition in addition to complete equipment. Use equipment, especially appropriate clothing and shoes. #banjaran #climbingadventures #hikingtrails #magnificentview

SETAPAK IS A MUKIM IN GOMBAK DISTRICT, KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA. FORMERLY A TIN-MINING AND RUBBER ESTATE AREA, IN MALAY ‘TAPAK’ MEANS 'STEP' SO SETAPAK MEANS 'ONE STEP', PROBABLY REFERRING TO THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE SUBURB TO KUALA LUMPUR. ANOTHER EXPLANATION OF THE ORIGIN OF ITS NAME TRACES TO ITS HISTORICAL ROOTS. THE EARLIEST INHABITANTS OF SETAPAK WERE THE ABORIGINES (ORANG ASLI), AND THE MINANGKABAUS. ON 12 APRIL 1884 FRANK SWETTENHAM, THE BRITISH RESIDENT OF SELANGOR PLEADED FOR THE RE-APPOINTMENT OF BATU TAPAK AS THE HEADMAN OF THE ABORIGINES LIVING IN THAT AREA, AND HENCE THE NAME SETAPAK, IN HONOUR OF THE HEADMAN. THE MUKIM (COMMUNE/SUBDISTRICT) OF SETAPAK IS SITUATED NORTH-EAST OF KUALA LUMPUR IN THE CONSTITUENCY OF GOMBAK AND HAS AN AREA OF 62 SQUARE MILES (160 KM2). THE NORTHERN LIMIT OF SETAPAK IS GUNUNG BUNGA BUAH; ITS NORTH-EASTERN LIMIT IS GENTING SEMPAH ON THE PAHANG BORDER; TO THE EAST IS BUKIT DINDING AND TO THE SOUTH-EAST IS THE RIFLE RANGE. THE STATE CONSTITUENCY OF GOMBAK SETIA ROUGHLY CORRESPONDS TO THE BOUNDARIES OF THE MUKIM OF SETAPAK; BEFORE 1974 IT ALSO INCLUDES WHAT IS TODAY THE PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES OF WANGSA MAJU AND SETIAWANGSA. #awesomepic#couplestrip#mytripvlog#urbanexplorer#tripblazers#summervacation#celebratewithtrip#passionpassport#2023travelwish
