Can it be nearly 14 years ago that I last hiked Bukit Tabur West?

Park your car here. There is a concrete platform marking the trail entrance.
About Bukit Tabur West
Bukit Tabur West is both physically and technically challenging. It is not a hike for the acrophobics so if you are afraid of heights, this trail is not for you.
There is no warm up. The trail launches straight into a relentless ascent that takes you through 6 mini peaks before the round trip descent to your starting point.
Hiking time depends on how fast and fit you are. We are average hikers – we are neither iron ladies or a sedentary bunch and it took us about 4 hours.

Final Descent
There is a patch of mossy forest near this part that you can check out before making the trek home.
