Bukit Saga is located in the middle of Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, about 20 km from my Subang Jaya home.
We were looking for a place to do a quick hike before the Ramadhan month started. Since Bukit Saga was the nearest, we decided to give it a try. Expect lots of uphill steps along the trek and please use any hiking app on your phone to guide your way deeper into the jungle as the routes were not properly marked.
I use my Kommot app to guide my way along the trek.

He shared with me a few beautiful photos of the Mardi Himal landscape, I googled more information about the place and later said yes to the trip.

If you are looking for a good hiking spot around Klang Valley then you should try this trail.
A community-managed low-land forest area and a well-maintained hiking spot within the city area, Kota Damansara Community Trail is my choice for my speed hiking training during weekdays. The attraction of this easy 3.3 km trail from the entrance to the Tiga Puteri Peak, is a lookout spot overviewing north and southbound traffic thundering along the NKVE with a glimpse view of Kota Damansara township in the distance.
