Shortly after the first trip to Gunung Datuk, I planned a three-in-one trip (hiking + kenduri + jalan2). Our next target is Bukit Saga, Ampang. It was Saturday 30th March 2013.
We departed from Melaka around 7.00 a.m and stop at R&R for breakfast. We reached Bukit Saga at around 9.00 a.m. and started hiking at 9.20 a.m. We were very lucky because on that day the Chinese community was celebrating a festival, so, not many people were there on that day.

| Parked our car in front of the kindergarten not far from the starting point |

| The steel stairs at Jalan Saga 28 marked the starting point |
 |
| Early part of the trek |
 |
| Cemented stairs at the early stage |
 |
| Steep hiking...rest for a while |
 |

 |
| 1st check point...rest for a while |
 |
| Thanks to those who provided this resting area |
 |
| After 45 minutes hike, we reached the hill top |
 |
| Well maintained |
 |
| Not so many people on the hill top...but there were dogs around |
 |
| Tongkat from Gunung Kinabalu...helped to shoo away dogs |
 |
| Beware of dogs! |
 |
| After 10 minutes rest, we resumed our hiking to the waterfall...we took this route |
 |
| On the way to the waterfall |
 |
| After 45 minutes of ups and down, we finally reached the waterfall...the trek was a bit muddy and slippery |
 |
| There were a few people up there...most of them were preparing to go back when we arrived |
 |
| Cool down first before taking the plunge |
 |
| Job well done! |
 |
| Rewarding ourselves.. |
 |
| Sejukkk... |
After 40 minutes at the waterfall, we started our hiking down. Otw down, we found this...there is a beirut if take C trail.

| Hot Air Balloon Festival at Putrajaya |
 |
| Our last destination before headed back to Melaka |
One thing I have in my mind for the boys is to strengthen them physically and mentally. I believe this kind of activity helps to materialize the intention. Anyway, the kids enjoyed the trip so much especially the waterfall part at Bukit Saga but I think it was a bit too tough for them. Next trip maybe...Bukit Broga + G. Tok Wan. I've told them and they have agreed.
