Why go
Kepong's neighbourhood hill packs two peaks into a short loop, with the bald Peak 2 giving wide views over Desa ParkCity, the quarry and the KL skyline. It is free, gate-less and quick enough for a pre-work sweat, which is why the uncles and the trail runners are already coming down when you start.
