Description
Background:
Gunung Angsi Circle offers one of Negeri Sembilan’s most rewarding day hikes, combining the popular Bukit Putus ascent with a scenic descent via Ulu Bendul. Just about an hour from Kuala Lumpur, this third-highest peak in the state features rich colonial-era history, lush forest trails, and a steady climb suitable for both new and experienced hikers.
This circular route allows hikers to experience the best of both trails in a single journey — ascending through the well-established Bukit Putus path before descending into the serene surroundings of Ulu Bendul Recreational Park. With varied terrain, clear trails, and a satisfying summit experience, Gunung Angsi Circle is perfect for beginners seeking a more complete and adventurous hiking experience in Negeri Sembilan.
