Bukit Tangkiling
A granite hill rising abruptly from the flat peat plain. Within the nature park you can climb to the top for views over the endless rainforest plains.
Bukit Tangkiling lies about 34 kilometers north of the city center. It is an abrupt granite hill rising out of the lowland rainforest and is part of the Tangkiling Nature Park. Massive boulders scatter the summit, and stone steps and trails lead to a viewpoint overlooking the peat forest and rivers. On weekends, locals come to hike and picnic, and there is a temple and small food stalls nearby. The climb takes about 30 to 60 minutes. The rocks are slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. It can be combined with Nyaru Menteng and Tahai Lake in a single day.
