Bukit Kutu, located near Kuala Kubu Bharu and the Selangor dam, is a jewel amongst the mountains of the Titiwangsa range. It offers hikers a magnificent 360 degrees panoramic view at an altitude of almost 1,100 metres.

But in order to reach the top, we have to ascend more than 800 meters in around five kilometres. This challenging hike has it all: moderate to steep sections, knee deep river wading, fallen trees and bamboo, a massive boulder formation along the way and some historic remains near the summit.

The total distance for the hike is around 10 km in total.

This is a hike which is suitable for beginners, provided you are physically fit.

There is no option to take any shortcuts, but we follow the same way up and down, so you can return at any time or place you like.

Carpooling is highly recommended as there is not much space at the trailhead to park cars.

---> We will perform a check of the mandatory items before the event starts. For your own safety, if you do not have the mandatory items in your possession, we will not allow you to hike. <---

IMPORTANT: Make sure you have a gps navigation app (like ~in alphabetical order~ AllTrails (paid version), Gaia, Hiiker, Komoot, Maps.me, OSMAnd, Wikiloc,...) installed on your phone and make sure that it is working properly. If you don't have an app installed yet, we suggest to use Hiiker to start with. Once you have downloaded the offline map of Malaysia, you can easily import and navigate any gpx file. More info can be found in the Knowledge Base sub Event Information (general) - How to prepare myself for navigation...?

Do not come to the venue if you have not pre-installed a gps navigation app at home, or have not downloaded the map of Malaysia at home, or have not opened the test gpx file at home. Every week, we notice that too many hikers arrive just before the event starts and are absolutely not prepared which is jeopardising the scheduled timing of the event. Especially iPone users are urged to make sure that they can open the test gpx file at home and are able to navigate.

Although there will be guides, this still remains a self-guided hike. You will receive a gpx file in advance and you will have to navigate yourself. There will be no paper markers.

IMPORTANT: keep in mind that there is always a chance that we are not allowed to hike due to dangerous weather or other conditions (eg heavy rain, flood, landslide, health measures...) - we cannot be held responsible for such cancellation.
