Tabur Hill (Bukit Tabur) – Third Hiking
2 August 2008

We’re at Bukit Tabur West entrance where I park my car along the road side. I never been on East side, heard it’s more demanding with the long 30m rope there. Fuh…I’m waiting for people to bring me there.
This climb is taking me approximately 3 hours plus. The peak offers spectacular view of the dam.

As this hike is my third hike in 3 years, almost once every year, I foresee the challenges has reduced. I came along with my gf and she like this place due to the challenges has effect on her.
At first, it was amazing tired with every huge step before we start seeing the sky (we excited when we can see far away).

I was merely a guide to my gf and I try to enjoy hiking and scenery over there. Also brought the camera to take picture, eventually no idea what picture need to capture. I taken most of the scenery there before. I need start taking picture of the climbers. Haha.
I reserve my spot as a guide for next time whoever interested to climb it.












[...] was my fourth hike this year. My previous hike experience can be found here (2006), here (2007) and here (2008). In fact, it doesn’t change much except for more caution remarks in dangerous [...]
Hi there. Tabur looks like a good hike, but hard to find any tours there. Any chance you’d like to take me there between 1st-9th of July 2010?
Sorry Tuomas, I’m not available for hiking at this moment.
By the way, there is one topic about Bukit Tabur, where people often form a small group for hiking. Here it is. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/263314/+580
You may give a try there.

Hi Mag,
Sorry for overlook your comment here. The co-ordination for West Tabur entrance (3.232025, 101.748142) can be check through Google Maps. *Copy & Paste the GPS code in Google Maps.
Yes, it looks dangerous for first timer hiker. In fact, if you courage enough and not fear of hike, you may found out it’s an interesting hike. Just follow the route that prepared along the way or hike together with other group there. Follow them along.
Normal gripping shoes is a must. Water, sunblock, light food and etc. Trekking pole may not needed because you need your hand to grab the rock all the times. Slippery is when after raining. Rocks are slippery.
Hi there,
