What you need

Not much needed to climb this hill, visitors only need to bring a small backpack for things like camera, water, telescope, biscuits, etc. Best to wear simple, normal sports shoes will do but make sure not those slippery type. Wear long sleeves if you hate sunlight.

Be careful

If you are first time visitor to Bukit Tabur, please go there on Sunday morning to meet other hill climbers. Quite many peoples there on Sunday, they are ususally students, you can follow them, not so possible to try your own, the trail is quite complicated.

On the hill, I met two tourists came with telescopes, they told me they are watching birds, not about hill climbing.
