During MCO, entrance is allowed only at Bukit Putus. The beginning of track is steep but wide enough to allow hikers to pass each other. The track is clearly visible from start to finish, so less confusing.

From entrance to the peak the distance is about 4km which takes between 1.5 to 2 hours. There is some space at the peak to take photos, although it was crowded that Saturday morning.

On the way back my friend & I purposely took different route which was more difficult and longer. There were huge fallen trees that blocked some track which made it more difficult. We reached Ulu Bendul exit 3 hours later & then walked back 2.5km to the entrance.

In short I like this trail which I consider moderately difficult and does not require too much time...
