Wawasan Hill in Puchong is a good place to go if you want something a little more hard. The hill is steeper in some places than Bukit Gasing. If you have any heart problems, I’d advise you to take extra measures or avoid going here.
The trails are part of a forest reserve and are not intended to be accessible to the general public. Hikers are permitted by the forestry department and Universiti Putra Malaysia as long as they adhere to certain guidelines.
The trek to the top takes around two to three hours, and from there you can see everything of Puchong. Three trails are available, one of which has a waterfall.

Pine Tree Trail on Fraser’s Hill, Pahang is one of Gunung Semangkok’s beginning sites. The peak, however, lies on the border between the states of Pahang and Selangor. It is believed to be one of the more difficult paths in the Klang Valley, with a total distance of 32 kilometres.
It takes approximately eight to nine hours one trip, with a total travel time of approximately 12 to 16 hours. This hike will undoubtedly give your legs a good workout! Although it is not Selangor’s highest peak, the climb will take you through many elevation variations.

There are a couple hiking pathways on Saga Hill, also known as Apek Hill. Some of these could take anywhere from one to two hours one way. Hikers usually come here to prepare for Mount Kinabalu or Gunung Tahan.
While the view from the summit may not be the best in the Klang Valley (unlike Bukit Tabur RIP), the trek can be a fun challenge with ropes and slopes. A waterfall is also present.
Several people have lately complained that the trail’s entry is temporarily closed, so double-check before going.
