Bukit Gasing Forest Reserve is a 100 hectare stretch of green belt dividing the city of Petaling Jaya (Selangor state) from the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur.
It was once a rubber estate but, in the intervening 60 years, the miraculous restorative powers of nature have been allowed to work their magic and the park is now a haven of lush secondary forest including some pretty large trees.
Being surrounded by heavily populated areas, Bukit Gasing is a popular place for nearby residents to stretch legs, get the lungs and heart working and sweat off any extra weight.
There are a number of hiking trails within Bukit Gasing park to suit all levels of energy and fitness.

Before long I arrived at a modest and graffiti covered watchtower\* from where I could see a Hindu temple (Siva Temple) and a massive communication tower on a neighboring hilltop.

The highest point in the park (presumably Bukit Gasing which means 'Top Hill') is about 160 meters. That makes it a baby hill by Malaysian standards but there are a number of steep slopes in the park (including one called the Abu Baker Slope) and it is a good place to get in some training for more challenging peaks.
There are plenty of benches where you can take a rest.
