What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise Bukit Sapu Tangan for its stunning Mirror Lake, rewarding summit views, and moderate hiking trails suitable for families. The accessibility via Taman Botani Negara Shah Alam is convenient, though some note the steep inclines and the presence of mosquitoes on jungle paths. It's a worthwhile destination for nature lovers seeking a refreshing outdoor escape.
"We started from Taman Botani Negara Shah Alam. Parking is RM5 per car and the conservation fee is RM3 per person. From there, it was mostly a steep uphill walk on tar roads until we reached the treehouse at the peak. Be prepared for the very steep inclines near the peak. From the treehouse, we went down to the Mirror Lake through a jungle trail, which had more mosquitoes and ants. The total distance we covered was around 8.5km over nearly 3.5 hours of moving time"
