GuNunG ToK WaN

20/2/2011, after 6 weeks of rest because of CNY, we started our hiking again. This time we went to Gunung Tok Wan, which are not really famous among the preference of hiker. Gunung Tok Wan is after the 4th peak of Broga Hill which is also located in Broga, Semenyih. As information from other blogger, estimated Gunung Tok Wan will take around 2 hours to hike from Broga hill. To conquer the Gunung Tok Wan, we have to past the Broga hill 1st. As experiences that get before when came to hike Broga hill on last year (2010), we decided to start hike early to avoid human jam, thus, 3.45am we had depart from Klang.

Sharp at 5am, we reach at the downhill of Broga hill, that time we already saw many cars parked at the estate. We quickly ready ourselves to start our challenge. Be prepare with the “bright” torchlight and a suitable shoes such as “Kampung Adidas” which I support always for hiking. :D Before enter the trail, there is a public “toilet” that build at the side of entrance. Just a “cover“that for you to release your “unease”… haha..

After everything is ready, we start hiking, luckily there is not many people hiking on that time. Within 10 – 30 minutes, we all reached at the 1st peak of Broga hill, super fast, faster than what we are expected. Actually in the middle of way, there have 2 pathways that make me confuse, just follow the left hand side, wider road. When almost reach the 1st peak, the trail is very steep and slippery because of the soil. When reached the peak, the beautiful scenery of the town can be view in our sight, the wind is blowing to us smoothly….. Is such a comfortable feeling and release our tiredness. After rest for around half an hour in the 1st peak, we decided to go for the continuous peak, the next peak is very near between each other, It just take few minutes to reach.

Around 6.30am, with the help of the rope and gentleman’s hand, we climb up the rock and reach 4th peak. There have a signage that show “Broga hill 450M” from the sea level. Besides that, there have a direction that showing the trail to Gunung Tok Wan, this have to thanks to PRIDE, which make the signboard for all people. We taking rest at the 4th peak and chit chat to wait for more brighten moment to enter the trail. Sunrise cannot be seen on that day due to the heavy cloud cover.

Once the day is getting brighter, without waiting, we start our journey again to our destination – peak of Gunung Tok Wan. The trail is quite clear and easy, on the way you can see the signage that show at the tree, showing 3.1KM, 3KM, 2.5KM, 1KM…. there is not much steep way, just on the middle of way, you have to go downhill, uphill, and downhill again, but mostly the way is flat and easy. We all take around 1 hour 10 minutes – 1 hour 30 minutes to reach the peak of Gunung Tok Wan. 675 meter high from sea level, is consider very low “Gunung”. There is no nice view at the peak because all the trees have covered the area of the peak. Signage of “Gunung Tok Wan – 675 meter from sea lever” can found at a tree. Bench and resting place was ready at there for hiker to have a short rest. Flag of “Tenaga National” was hanging there. There have a dustbin but full of rubbish. A simple breakfast we had at the peak and rest for an hour plus before we return.

There is one way go and one way out. We set a target that before 12pm have to reach at the 4th peak of Broga hill. Me and fai make it in 45 minutes, around 10.45am we already reached there, is really fast then what we expected. Some of the trail we are running because is just a flat trail. And Jensen make it in 1 hour, hoong and yin make it in 1 hour 15 minutes… well done all.. :D

After took picture at the peak and group photo, we downhill from Broga hill. There have few drink stall operation on that time. Coconut and 100 plus is best selling drink, 500ml 100 plus cost RM2.50, seems like quite expensive but is worth when you need some cold drink to release your heat. :D

Around 2pm we finished our hiking and decided to go Serdang to have our lunch. “Leung Ya Restaurant” which is quite famous when we study in UPM. I and yin plan to bring them to have a try on this restaurant which famous of it “ji bao gai” and “leung taofu”. It is located near The Mines there, opposite Serdang KTM station. After eat, is quite disappointed of the taste, service and expensive. They have count wrong the resit for two times, and the way they apologize is not sincere too.

Anyhow the day is end with the disappointed lunch, but is satisfy for the hiking, is consider easy and can make it in short times. Coming up next is Ketumbar Hill at Cheras… :D

THE END ~ ~ ~
