I went for a hike at Bukit Jugra and was pleasantly surprised by how beginner-friendly and rewarding it was. The trail starts gently through shaded forest paths, with signs guiding the way. It’s suitable even for casual hikers or those new to hiking. The full hike to the top takes around 30–45 minutes, depending on your pace.

You’ll also find the Jugra Lighthouse—perfect for photos and a quick history lesson. It used to guide ships along the Straits of Malacca! 🌬️ If you're lucky, you might even catch some paragliders taking off from the peak—it’s a famous paragliding spot! 📍 Tips: Arrive early to avoid the heat and crowd Bring water, mosquito repellent, and a cap Parking is available at the foot of the hill Suitable for solo hikes, groups, or even a fun family outing #thingstodo #travel #staycation #naturalwonders #familytravel
