There are two types of people in the world – those that enjoy sceneries from up above, and those that enjoy sceneries from down below. We’re talking about elevation here. But, what if there is a place where you can enjoy the best of both worlds?
Few weeks ago, we drove up to Tanjung Tuan, Port Dickson to hike Bukit Batu Putih. Famously known for its limestone rocky peak, this hike is relatively easy and short, perfectly designed for those who simply wants to break sweat before tanning yourself up at the beach.

Trail route:
The trail is very easy to follow. The path that we took is up on the tar road as we pass through the entrance, then there will be a signboard which leads to the peak, and this signboard marks the start of the trail through the forest. Finally, the peak lies above a tower of boulders which requires a short scrambling with ropes provided to help you ascent.
Once you’re here, feast your eyes on the most beautiful view of the Straits of Malacca.
