Gunung Angsi via Bukit Putus

If you’re looking for a decent hike to enjoy the greenery, not so the scenery, and to somewhat test your endurance but not so challenging — then this is the perfect hike.

Gunung Angsi challenges you at the beginning portion of the hike, where she welcomes you with a steep ramp that you have to overcome, then going through about 1 kilometre of what seemed an endless yet manageable inclination, then finally leaving the rest of the 4 km or so of a fairly gradual trail throughout… but not exempting the up-and-down passage, hurdling through blockade of trees, and a few muddy sections. Nevertheless, offering you the temptation of a challenging hike, and rewarding you with a peek of only a stretch of the Titiwangsa Range on its jungle-covered summit.
