We have hiked Bukit Tunggul several times in the past, but only once before started our hike in the south near the E6 Elite Highway. It's a bit more tricky to get to the trailhead, compared to the hiking trail that starts in the north, but the hike itself makes really up for that.
This trail is less hiked and despite the erosion caused by scramblers here and there, it remains simply an amazing trail with, weather permitting, great views.
A good workout is guaranteed and also trail runners will enjoy certain sections which are devoid from obstacles.
Mandatory cut-off at the summit will be at 12:00 pm, which will be the same for those who embark on the Melati-Tunggul-Melati hike. At that time everybody should be back on the way to the car park.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have a gps navigation app (like ~in alphabetical order~ AllTrails (paid version), Gaia, Hiiker, Komoot, Maps.me, OSMAnd, Wikiloc,...) installed on your phone and make sure that it is working properly. If you don't have an app installed yet, we suggest to use Hiiker to start with. Once you have downloaded the offline map of Malaysia, you can easily import and navigate any gpx file. More info can be found in the Knowledge Base sub Event Information (general) - How to prepare myself for navigation...?
Do not come to the venue if you have not pre-installed a gps navigation app at home, or have not downloaded the map of Malaysia at home, or have not opened the test gpx file at home. Every week, we notice that too many hikers arrive just before the event starts and are absolutely not prepared which is jeopardising the scheduled timing of the event. Especially iPone users are urged to make sure that they can open the test gpx file at home and are able to navigate.
This is a self-guided hike. You will receive a gpx file at the trailhead and you will have to navigate yourself. There will be no paper markers. For those who are not familiar with gps navigation, you will be guided but still have to use your own navigation app on your phone.
By 02:00 pm all hikers should have reached the car park again.
Do note that the indicated meet-up time is not the time you should arrive at the meet-up location. It is the time that the hike effectively starts. The QR code for the gpx file can be scanned at the trailhead from 08:30 am onwards. You can start your hike at any time between 08:30 am and 09:00 am.
All details can be found in the Knowledge Base.
It is compulsory that you respect the SOPs in place.
