Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Kuala Lumpur do Kampung Bukit Tinggi, Bentong

If you’re in for a sweat and a bit of an adventure, this ride from Kuala Lumpur to Kampung Bukit Tinggi is one for the list! Starting in the heart of Malaysia’s buzzing capital, you’ll escape the cityscape and head north for about 65 km—expect an ever-changing backdrop and plenty of fresh air as you approach the lush hills of Bentong.

The route serves up plenty of climbs (with over 2,200 meters of ascent!), so get ready for some leg-burning hills as you wind your way up toward the cool elevations of Bukit Tinggi, which sits at nearly 660 meters max. While most of the ride is on paved or asphalt roads, there are short stretches (about 5%) of unpaved and ground surfaces, so a road or gravel bike with sturdy tires is your friend.

You’ll start amid skyscrapers and hawker stalls, and finish in a laid-back village famous for its French-themed Colmar Tropicale resort and fresh ginger. Whether you go for the scenery, a plate of local food, or just the rush of the ride, Bukit Tinggi is a great reward after all that climbing!
