Broga Hill

I had been hearing about people hiking up Broga Hill and finally I had the chance to do it myself! The Broga Hill hike was part of the Leadership Training Camp organised by the INTI Student Council.

We woke up at 5.00am and after warming up we begin our journey towards the hill from the campsite (which was located a few km from the foot of the hill). Reached the foot at around 6.00am. We were told the hill has 4 peaks but due to lack of time, we were only able hike to the first peak which is the lowest. =(

Hiking up the hill can be considered easy but coming down is a bit tricky. I almost fell a few meters when coming down. The rope i was grabbing on snap! Nevertheless, anyone who is fit enough will be able to hike up without any problem. I even saw children hiking up. With constant speed and no resting, you could reach peak 1 in about 30 minutes.

The chronological order of sunrise view on the first peak:



I am the king of the hill! xD

If you want to avoid the crowd, do not go there on weekends. Another advice, make sure both of your hands are free. It is difficult climbing up with only one free hand (i was holding a bottle on my other hand) and almost impossible to come down with one hand.

Broga Hill, I will be back to reach the final peak!
