This is a very popular place for locals to have morning or evening walk. The gentle slopes with few stretches of steep ones are suitable to children and old folks alike. There is one stretch of very steep slope that I treat it as 'hill run' in marathon preparation. For a beginner who never exercised this may pose a challenge, and can be expected to reach the first resting hut with no problem with slow pace.
The routes pass through rubber plantation and durian orchard. I had once bought a durian for RM5 during a fruiting season while doing morning walk. Certain part of the hill is secondary forest and here I spotted a bright red minivet, dollar bird and other wild birds.
Needless to say the air is very fresh, except occasionally stained with exhaust fume from the rubber tappers' motorbikes which ramped up the steep slopes. The laterite treks are well used by vehicles and are hard and firm even after a heavy downpour. Many mountain bikers are seen to come here to test their skills.
