Mulu National Park, Sarawak<br />

This world-famous national park boasts three adventure treks<br />

that can put a sports enthusiast to test. Be prepared for the<br />

forested slopes, crossing fast flowing rivers and clear jungle<br />

streams; a good level of physical fitness is required to<br />

complete the trek. Overnight stays in this park is to be<br />

expected as some of treks can take up to a couple of days<br />

to finish, so you should bring along basic camping gears for<br />

stays in jungle base camps.<br />

Penang National Park, Penang<br />

Looking for a hiking place that offers you a scenery that is<br />

more than just trees and mountains? Head over to Malaysia’s<br />

youngest national park in Penang. The Penang National Park<br />

offers hikers with a canopy walkway, two tough trails and<br />

secluded beaches that also serve as a sea turtle sanctuary.<br />

Now, how’s that for a change in view? Remember to bring<br />

along plenty of food and water when hiking at this national<br />

park, as food and beverages are not sold within the area.<br />

Broga Hill, Selangor<br />

Where’s the best place to see sunrise in Selangor? Broga Hill!<br />

It stands at a height of about 400 metres and offers views of<br />

both Selangor and Negeri Sembilan combined. You need to<br />

begin your hike as early as five in the morning to view the<br />

sunrise from Broga Hill’s summit; a sight you would not want<br />

to miss. A headlamp or flashlight is a must if you are hiking<br />

before dawn and wear comfortable clothing as you will need<br />

to climb a few boulders at the top. For a more adventurous<br />

experience, set up a camp and put up a night atop Broga Hill<br />

for star-gazing on clear nights.<br />
