Cycling: Bukit Putus

Bukit Putus is located in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan and is made up of the Federal Route 51 which connects Seremban to Kuala Pilah. The formerly main route was constructed by the British in 1920s (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Federal_Route_51) and remained as the notorious touge route for enthusiasts looking the the thrill of driving/riding. An alternative route has since been built in 2006 with its public use starting from 2009 but the old roads of Bukit Putus remained with fewer traffic. This old trunk road is not only popular amongst drivers, but along with tourists and jungle trekkers who also frequent the route to reach the foothills of Gunung Angsi.

    Chiling Waterfalls, Kuala Kubu Bharu

    The chiling falls are probably one of the nature gems of Selangor, about 55km from Kuala Lumpur City Centre. Located near to Pekan Kuala Kubu Bharu you can reached the main entrance of Chiling Falls via road towards fraser hill. From the main road you need to park your cars at the side of the road and if you planned to stay overnight you might need to bring along all your personal belongings and don't leave it in the car as some break-in case has been reported especially during night. No proper parking are available at the entrance. Risk are on your own responsibilities.

    Chilling Falls #2


    The falls can be reached within a 45 minutes of trekking. It's a land and river crossing trail and the river current can be really fast especially after rain so might need to be extra-careful and watch out for the slippery stone.
