Bukit Broga, or Broga Hill, is located near Semenyih, about 40 minutes away from Kuala Lumpur. Its real name is Bukit Lalang, refering to the thin and long species of local grass that grows abundantly on this hill. It can be reached a short distance after the University of Nottingham, where the entrance trail starts from an oil palm estate facing a rabbit park across the road.
During the mornings, mist rising from the ground from the warmth of the sun envelop the landscape in a carpet of white, providing a surreal atmosphere. This is why most hikers come up during the early mornings and wait for the sunrise to catch the breath taking view. The hike itself is relatively easy, taking between 20-45 minutes to reach the highest peak depending on how fit you are. There are a few steep ascents, but nothing to hard to conquer.
There are three peaks in total, each one ascends above the other through a clear path fringed by the tall grass at each side. The trails are well marked and trodden, so it's pretty hard to get lost or even lose sight of the way. The best times to climb Broga Hill is during the weekdays, as weekends will see a huge glut of hikers clogging the various peaks.
