Bukit Taisho — Attraction in Negeri Sembilan

While planning for a short weekend getaway, we decided to pay a visit to the various small towns on the outskirts of Negeri Sembilan. After finding out that Bahau has a great hiking spot, Bukit Taisho, we decided to give it a try.

When we arrived at the foothill at around 7am, it was still dark, and the sky was still drizzling. Surprisingly, the trail, though mainly consists of yellow mud, remained firm and relatively mud-free after the rain throughout the night. I think it was a combination of the compaction from vehicles and hikers, and problem also because it was a sloped trail.

Instead of many steps or staircases, the trail consisted of gradual slopes all the way to the peak. It should take 30 to 45 minutes to reach the peak in a leisurely pace. While steep in some stretches, I considered the trail easy to moderate. It should be doable for the average person. For the elderly, this hill could pose a challenge, unless they are relatively fit.

Although the trail passed through a palm oil estate, it was rather exposed the whole way. The peak was barren too. Luckily, it was a cloudy morning after rain, so the whole hike was rather chilly, making it more enjoyable. The peak was well maintained by the local community, with various photo spots scattered throughout.

Hiking after a rainy night might have another advantage: an immense sea of clouds, which was a magnificent sight to behold. Bukit Taisho has been famous for this, but I think the rain made it more intense. You will have to see it with your own eyes.

Overall, the experience was an enjoyable one. We managed to complete the hike in about 2 hours, taking our time to snap photos at the peak. If you love hiking, consider giving Bukit...

For navigation, You need to maps for 'Bukit Taisho Starting Point' rather than only Bukit Taisho bcos it will give different direction and get lost.

Parking. There's parking space available for the climbers. And it's free and no need permit.

The steepness is okay for the beginners but please check the weather before you come as the trail is very slippery when it is raining. Also, the fog can be thick as well.

There's wooden stick provided as well and I advice you to take one!

There are 4 pitstops where you can take photos. Before you reach the sky mirror Sky mirror Jodoh Stone Taman Kayangan Please discover all these 4 and take the photos all you need. Hint: can check on 'Bukit Taisho' on Instagram and see the nice spots 😊

Overall, I enjoy the...

Nice view with the mountain separate the nature and small town, can see both view at the peak, which is around 250 meter. Suitable for all walks of life. The road is wide enough for 3 people, not too sloppy. Small rocks along the way, so can be slippery. There is a few pathway, with various difficulty. Better ask the local if you are not sure. There are multiple destinations near the peak, all decorated by local with recycle material. Appreciate their effort. Have to start hiking from the residential side, not from the graveyard side. There are lots of tasty and affordable food at Bahau town, can google it. Will come again, good for...
