Get your bicycles - Kuala Lumpur
Get your bicycles Mountain Biking Review

Just in case you need to buy a bicycle, this tip might help. This is probably the biggest bicycle shop in Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur, the owner is an Asian Champion (if not mistaken) himself, most of the bikes in the shops are very expensive, selling road bikes and mountain bikes. The price of a bicycle here sometimes can be RM10000 each. The location is very complicated, at opposite of Ampang Point shopping mall, not exactly opposite, you need to get across the traffic light and walk about 200 meters to a roll of shops beside the flyover.

VT Hike - Kuala Lumpur

VT Hike

Bukit Tabur @ Melawati Hills

Melawati Hills (Bukit Tabur is the actual name but I still prefer to call it Melawati Hills because everytime I mention Bukit Tabur, peoples seem confused). Take LRT to Wangsa Maju station then jump on a taxi, tell your taxi driver you want to visit Taman Melawati's hill. Only 10 minutes drive from Wangsa Maju, so don't pay more than 15 Ringgits.

If you like nature, looking at monkeys, forest, breath some fresh air, this is the place for you in Kuala Lumpur. This is also a place still not much polluted, but please don't bring unwanted stuff to pollute my favourite hill.

When you come to KL, try to visit this Melawati Hills located at Taman Melawati. You need to go in early morning and just a 2 hours climb up the top to enjoy looking at the whole KL also able to snap early sunrise photos.

One thing unexpected here is the lake, you can see the lake after you ascended up to certain height where you can enjoy beautiful tropicanas and hill plants, species of birds and it is also a favourite natural habitat of the silver-leaf monkeys too. But don't try to swim in the lake because of big toman fish, they bite you real hard.

The lake is actually a dam but surprisingly beautiful, so I called it lake rather than dam.
