Beautiful. Definitely need to have some fitness, and decent walking shoes with good tread. Watch out for the leeches but don't let them put you off doing this.

A fantastic experience. Driver arrived on time at our hotel and explained things of interest along the way. Our local guide Han was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. He looked after us exceptionally well - even to the extent of running back to the main office in order to collect walking sticks for us. The scenery was amazing and well worth the climb. Our advice - wear good walking shoes for both the climb up and the walk down. Put this on your list of "Must Do" in KL.
