SYNOPSIS
Bukit Wawasan, situated in Puchong, offers a refreshing escape with its lush greenery and accessible forest trails. Unlike more strenuous peaks, this route focuses on the basic trail loop, providing a steady and rewarding hike through the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve. The trail features a peak elevation of approximately 233m (764 ft), making it an ideal choice for those seeking a manageable yet scenic outdoor experience. As urban development continues around the forest reserve, this area remains a vital water catchment area and a sanctuary for local biodiversity. We must ensure no pollution is left behind to preserve this vital area for future generations. The path offers a well-maintained environment for city dwellers to connect with nature. Fun Fact: The surrounding forest is part of an ongoing effort to maintain sustainable green lungs within the city, contributing to the region's unique natural heritage.
Peak Elevation: The summit sits at approximately 233m (764) ft Meet at the Trail Head: 7.00 am
Difficulty: It is considered a beginner-to-moderate hike. The beginning and final 200 meters toward the peak are the steepest sections, while the middle portion is relatively flat
