Tabur soon in less than an hour
anyone tagging along?

Anyone going this Saturday? I'm afraid of the recent weather might make the route harder. I read about hill in this thread. Is it advisable to go this weekend? I'll be going in a group with mix of hikers and non-hikers.

I personally never set foot here before. Only been to Bukit Saga/Ah Pek hill, Broga, Gasing which is considered the peanuts right?

Is it ok for me? I do play sports on weekly basis. Planning to train for my Mount Kinabalu next year. I'm afraid of the rock climbing part as I have set foot on Broga which I accidentally slip on the last part (about 80 degress slope?) due to slippery causing me to slide down the bottom from top (minor gash only though, but sliding down part was scary as there's a lot of other hikers and I couldn't brake at all, taking out 1 fella unintentionally, no injury toward her)

Saturday what time? And which Tabur you are referring to?

Er, not sure. Following friend's colleague where they have 2 experienced hikers. I thinking should be the easier route?

If they have 2 experienced hikers then you should be alright.

For me, all 3 Taburs' are easy. If your friend refer you to West, please take extra caution. Lots of accident occurred here.

how's the safety now in Bukit tabur after last accident in 2011? still no proper way or safer way to come down? no new bridge or any flying fox built for descending?

@hackwire, what accident?

u can google Bukit Tabur Accident and all the news are there.

u may check one here.

Added on May 9, 2012, 7:14 pmKUALA LUMPUR: Two specialist doctors, missing since Wednesday, were found dead in a ravine near the Klang Gates in Ulu Ampang yes
terday.

A search-and-rescue team took over an hour to airlift the bodies from the thickly forested terrain. Police believe the two – paediatrician Dr Haliza Mohd Shafie, 53, and paediatric surgeon Dr Amin Tai Abdullah @ Tai Yen Ming, 57 – slipped and fell about 200m after they had gone hiking.

Their car was found at the popular hikers’ spot in Bukit Melawati at 7am. Jungle trekking gear and the duo’s cellular phones were found in the car.

A full-scale search-and-rescue operation was launched by the police, Fire and Rescue, and Public Works Departments, after Dr Haliza’s husband confirmed the car belonged to her. Tracker dogs and a helicopter search spotted the two at around 2.15pm, said Ampang Deputy OCPD Supt Amiruddin Jamaluddin.

“The injuries on the bodies were consistent with a fall,” he said.

The decomposing bodies were sent to Kuala Lumpur Hospital for a post-mortem. Both specialists were attached with a medical centre in Ampang.

Their families made a police report when they did not return home on Wednesday night, State Chief Police Officer Deputy Commissioner Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said on Friday.

It was earlier reported that a security guard at the nearby dam saw two people heading into the jungle on Wednesday but did not see them return.

Hi There,
I have been to tabur once but planning to bring some friends to go over this weekend on Dec 6, 2014. Is there anybody heading there? Plan to go for sunrise and then hope that we can follow any experience trekkers who knows the route. Please PM me if you do, thanks!

The route to first peak is kinda straightforward and can be done in 1 hour flat, up and down. The view across peaks are the same, though I think the first peak's views are the best.

planning to go on 11 dec thursday. is permit really necessary?
