Routebeschrijving
With Kuala Lumpur Hiking &Trail Running group
*Note*
Long pants and long-sleeves are highly advisable. There's pictures of my fellow hiking buddy's arms and legs that greatly illustrate what would happens when y'all don't. Loads of intertwining vines and thorny rattans thick bushes in the way.
Leeches, wasps and mosquitoes aplenty.
Certain section of the trail involves being fully exposed. Sun hat or a cap is a must.
Zero water sources. 2l should be sufficient, though an extra 1l wouldn't hurt.
Certain section of the trail involves going through a vegetable farm. Please be mindful to not stepping on any of the vegetable plots.
Neglected, and certainly forgotten, Sudu Hill is a veritable tough cookie, not to be taken lightly. A continuous steep ascent, through fully-covered old trails, involves loads of scrambling/bushwhacking, which saps much needed energy to tackle the steep incline.
Old ribbons marking the trail exist, however, not all to be trusted. Some leads to nowhere, and worse when you're scrambling through thick overgrowth of vines and thorny rattans, not finding any, because it's either fully covered up, or got lost through time. The summit itself offers no view (not that it matters to me. But I personally knew a handful who cares for such trivial stuff. The end-destination is my only goal) but, you'll be celebrated with a constant cooling breeze, which surprises me, being that this hill is only 400++m asl.
My trail map goes through loads of scrambling/bushwhacking. Nothing is easy here. So, if you're expecting a walk-in-a-park type of deal, this hill is definitely not for you.

This is a very small road, used by the electrical workers, going up and down constantly. Park on road shoulder and avoid blocking the road.

Vegetable Farm
Please watch where you're stepping. The owner was kind enough to let us through to get to the other side of the trail. Mind the vegetable plots.
