BROGA HILL, SEMENYIH, MALAYSIA

Broga Hill is frequented by casual hikers because of its location on the edge of the Titwangsa Range. It is approximately 400m in altitude and takes its name from the local river, which was actually named after the Buragas, a mythical beast that once called this area home.
​
The hill is unique as it is rather devoid of trees, which is an uncommon sight amongst tropical rainforests. Remnants of burnt out tree trunks indicate that the area may have been ravaged by a forest fire and the trees did not regrow. It offers a good view of the surrounding area and has become a popular picnic and photography spot.
