Broga Hill... nice place to watch sunrise

We organised this trip quite late or indeed it was a last minute trip. We went in 3 cars, where we met in Cheras toll at about 5.00am in the morning. Indeed, I guess this was the earliest day we woke up this year. Though a bit blur blur at first, but thinking about the photo taking session and hiking hill, we have to forgo our sweetdream.

From the Cheras toll plaza, it took us about 45 minutes to reach Broga Hill. By the time we reach the foothill, it was full of people. Hence, it was a bit hard to find parking at dark. We decided to park in the palm oil estate, where we need to pay for parking fees.

We quickly change our gear for hiking. Though it was dark, but we could see light shining through the dark. There are lot of people already start hiking up the hill before us. Some in small group and some in big group. Some has setup the stall selling stall on the way up, which really amazed me. Is this what we call economic crisis badly hit people?

When we start hiking up, we need to follow those people walking in front of us. What came into our mind was some people is considerate, and some is without their civic mind. Why? One would find out when hiking up to the hill nowadays. There is a Chinese saying, "people mountain people sea".

It took us about 40 minutes to reach the first lookout point. By the time we reached there, we hardly find any place to rest and to setup our tripod for photo shooting. We continue our journey to the second lookout point. Over here, we found a nice spot to rest. We brought some coffee all the way up, and starting to enjoying the breathtaking scenary from hilltop. When we look back at the first lookup point, wow... it really packed with people.

After enjoying the view, we start photoshooting. Since it is almost sunrise, we could see the midst at the Broga town. It was really nice to enjoy the fresh air on the hilltop while do some photoshooting. After staying on top for a while, we descent at about 8.30am. We decided to have a quick breakfast in Broga Hill before heading back to our home.
