Something worth reading. Hikers should not take things for granted. Hike safely and take the necessary precaution.
Be well prepared before you hike
CITY folk who are into hiking have quite a number of places to explore nature. Among the better known jungle trekking spots within an hour's drive from the city centre are the Kutu Hill in Kuala Kubu Baru, Saga Hill (Cheras), Broga Hill (Semenyih), and Templer's Park and Kanching Forest Reserve near Rawang.
Some of these spots are popular hiking trails, built with various facilities including trail markers and rest huts, others are not.
The latter usually have signboards cautioning trekkers to explore at their own risk. The trails are also not monitored by guides or rangers to whom hikers can report themselves before starting their journey.
For those intending to explore forests in Selangor, the State Forestry Department has advised hikers and trekkers to inform them first.
"At least if they get lost, we can look for them," said a spokesman.
