Gunung Hitam

🥾 Hiking Trails · Sungai Lui, Hulu Langat, Selangor

The quieter, tougher neighbour of Gunung Nuang: a 1,220 m peak on the Selangor-Negeri Sembilan border, reached by a long climb through proper rainforest with rope sections near the top. Far fewer people do it, so it suits hikers who want a serious day out without the Nuang crowds.

Don't miss: The KL View checkpoint about 1.5 hours in, then Batu Gobok on the ridge

⚠️ Not yet re-verified for 2026. Check fees, hours and that it is open before you go.

Bukit Batu Chondong

🥾 Hiking Trails · Kampung Kemensah, Ampang, Selangor

A tiny quartzite outcrop behind Zoo Negara that delivers a big-hill view for very little walking. The final scramble up the leaning rock is short but steep, so it feels like a mini Bukit Tabur without the all-day commitment.

Don't miss: Sunrise from the leaning quartzite summit rock looking back over Ampang and the KL skyline
