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 |
 |
| From the car park, walk straight up to the starting point |
 |
| Some of the visitors went down already |
 |
| 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 |
 |
| Next phase |
 |
| 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 |

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.
Wahh..amazing for the kids to hike this hill and gng datuk...i had hiked gunung datuk but only half way..too steep and chose the wrong time thou as we went there during hazed..any suggestion which hill for beginners ??
