Gunung Angsi via Ulu Bendul

Description

Background:

Gunung Angsi via Ulu Bendul offers a more challenging route to Negeri Sembilan’s third-highest peak, located within Ulu Bendul Recreational Park and just about an hour from Kuala Lumpur. This longer trail is ideal for hikers seeking a tougher climb and a more adventurous experience.

Along the way, hikers will pass Kem Tangga Batu at around the halfway point before continuing toward Botak Hill, a steep and exposed section reached about two-thirds into the ascent. Often regarded as the most demanding part of the hike, Botak Hill adds a true test of endurance before the final push to the summit. With scenic forest surroundings and a rewarding climb, the Ulu Bendul route is the preferred choice for hikers looking for a more challenging variation of Gunung Angsi.
