Sungai Tekala Waterfall (Semenyih, Selangor)

 Sungai Tekala Waterfall (Hutan Rekreasi  Sungai Tekala) I must say that before I come here for the very first time, I have very low expectation on what Sungai Tekala has to offer. Well, I guess sometimes is good to be proven wrong, hahaha!  This recreational area does come with few basic facilities like gazebo, toilets, BBQ and camping areas as well as well-built walking path along the waterfall trails. And forestry area and waterfall are really well maintained, crystal clean water and plus lots of available spots for picnic/swimming. Trail distance/duration I don't know how long the entire trail was, but my hike was a very short one (less than 1km from entrance) with mostly cemented pathway except for upper part of the trail (which is mostly dirt/mud) In total, we spend about 3 hours here (short hike + swimming + picnic)   Available amenities /facilities in the park Walkway at the park trail area The trail is fairly easy to walk with lots of staircase all the way up to the variou

Hiking at Bukit Wawasan (Puchong, Selangor)

Weekend Hiking at Bukit Wawasan (Wawasan Hill) Wawasan Hill (Bukit Wawasan) is a relatively small hill situated in Puchong Bandar Puteri residential area and has an average height of 233 meters and loop distance of just under 2km. What's interesting here. This trail is fairly short with small elevation here and there. Hence, if you just want to get a feel of hiking and sound of forest insects, this gentle trail will be the place for you. Don't rush it - just take time to stop, view the vegetation and enjoy the cooling weather in the hill.  Just before the end of the trail, do take a small pause... there's a small little creek (pond), where you can see lots of tortoises.  Let's start to explore the trail. After you get yourself settled down and car securely parked, walk 5 minutes toward the main entrance, which is just beside some small food stall. When you arrived at the main trailhead, you will see a big green signboard which indicate the point of entrance. Entrance/Ex
