Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a moderately challenging forest hike through protected lowland and hill dipterocarp forest to a summit at 825 metres. The two established routes - Bukit Putus (steeper, shorter) and Ulu Bendul (longer, more gradual) - pass through shaded trails, roots and rocky sections, with rest shelters along the way. At the summit, there is a clearing with signage and views over Seremban, Kuala Pilah and the Titiwangsa foothills. The base at Ulu Bendul Recreational Forest offers picnic areas, streams and a waterfall.
