Weekend Trip to Bukit Broga

Trip to Bukit Broga Semenyih

My second time to Bukit Broga Semenyih on 31st january 2010, as usual it's always busy up there as it is easily accessible for public to scale Bukit Broga..

it's even traffic jam at steep rocky part near the peak when some gleefully shouting and laughing to convey of their hardship to climb the rock and slowly descent at baby pace while couple take chance to show their affection such as one walking backward by holding both hand of the other one.. :)

It's quite amazing that A barren Bukit Broga with all its original tree burnt, not exactly known cause of the fire whether by accident or simply deforested for agriculture, could transform into a quite unique landscape. What normally happen to rainforest after clearing would never restore itself to its former stage unless it is rehabilitated or just wait for thousand years. It could turn into bush of "resam" (large fern) or field of "lalang" cogongrass like this Broga Hill /Bukit Broga that is why it is also called Bukit lalang . What make this landscape a becoming public attraction is Bukit Broga offer view! human love view of landscape, even elephant do. What normally hill with lowland rainforest is full with high canopy tree and thick layer of plants would block view and with temperature / humidity rising with sunrise, I beg not everyone love to be there :) .. Cleared rainforest hill with nice view come with a price, the sun will shine bright directly to you, even pass 9.00am it will becoming harder to handle unless you are a tough nut with hard shell. Bring an umbrella will not make you like aunty or uncle going to market, moreover others will salute your wisedom he he... Hiking up Bukit Broga hill is fun. Fun to see many kind of people there, from though and fit mountain climber to excited sissy squid, from baby to old people. All seem to enjoy Bukit Broga so will you...
