Kuala Lumpur's Bukit Kiara is a hiker's paradise

Happy hikers at the top of Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur.

For hiking enthusiasts, Bukit Kiara (BK) may not seem to be a good choice to trek up as the highest point is only 250m. But for those who hike up on a regular basis, the rewards can be immense and immeasurable. The diversity of trails there has attracted a big following for being an excellent hiking site.

There are several trails up BK, formerly a rubber estate. There are easy trails with gentle inclines, such as the popular Twin Peaks trail; not-so easy ones; and finally the challenging trails that involve steep inclines which cyclists shy away from.
