Bukit Tabur trail had been closed to public long time ago (in 2017)
This blog posting is in remembrance the glory that once Bukit Tabur had served as a popular hiking spot due to its astonishing view at the peak.
I kept this posting as a draft many years ago which I don't have sufficient, relevant or beneficial info that I want to share. Especially which section should be avoided, at which distance we should be extra careful and few section got "chicken exit" where you can use this for easy way out - I guess that wont' matter now.
Bukit Tabur West located in Melawati, Kuala Lumpur.
Distance to the Top 1.7km
Trail difficulty - moderate, hard at certain section
There are 5 hiking spots at Bukit Tabur - Tabur West, Tabur East, Tabur Far East, Tabur Extreme and Tabur Extra. All at different locations.
The closure of bukit tabur was made due to frequent hikers got injured, falling to the ravine or even worst, fall to death.
The entrance was closed - many times
somewhere at one of the top
Among the action taken to relive the legacy by setting these steel cable and steel post at certain section
I created a new bond with animal that day
Yes, I think the direction is opposite
The view worth dying for. Overlooking the dam
They even installed a steel hook for better grip
This is the dangerous section
Let the picture do the talking on how dangerous it was to cross this section
equipped with steel cable to give assurance on the safety
calculated risk
Left from where we came from
Right is the peak
while going straight is the exit point thru the orchard
continue until the end, which is the dead end.
Need to U-turn back
We supposed to exit near the parking area, due to wrong turn, we ended up here.
at the water reservoir
Its 3.72km from start in 2 hours 38 minutes
Walking to exit thru quiet neighbourhood
Back at the parking
5.7km in almost 3 hours
If the authorities intend to reignite the popularity of Bukit Tabur, it may adopt a "Kinabalu Via Ferrata" module with safety gear - harness, helmet, glove (or parachute) which had been widely practiced in most rock climbing sports in Malaysia.
