From WIKIPEDIA:

Bukit Tabur is a hill located in Taman Melawati, Malaysia. It is also known locally as Bukit Hangus. The hill is very prominent and could be seen from the Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2. The hill, which is less than 1000 meters, is a quartz ridge. Climbers enter the hiking trail via Kampung Klang Gates, 50 meters from the gates of the Klang Gates Dam, at the back of Taman Melawati for a quick 3-4 hours climb. The Gombak Forest Reserve and Klang Gates Dam are beside the hill. The peak offers spectacular view of the dam.

The hiking trail to Bukit Tabur can be found at 3°14′1″N 101°44′55″E / 3.23361°N 101.74861°E / 3.23361; 101.74861 (trailhead).

Meet Up for Discussion

Jesmond and myself will suggest a date soon for a MEET-UP.
Best if we all (or at least majority) could just gather and discuss, at least to finalize certain matters.
So, if you read this, if possible, DO ADVICE US ON YOUR AVAILABLE DATES.
Via blog, e-mail or SMS
TQ!
