Description:
This track is a short scenic hiking track up to Broga Hill. The best time to hike is early in the morning before sunrise. At the peak, you can enjoy the scenic view of the entire Broga village and sunrise.

The track begins from the palm oil estate. Most people would prefer to begin the track at about 4.45 am – 5 am as usually sunrise is at about 6am. Do wear a pair of comfortable walking shoes. The track can be slippery after rain. You may also want to bring flashlight together, if you want to begin tracking before the dawn. Spray insect repellent before entering the palm oil estate as mosquitoes are active during 5am - 6am. Follow the track uphill through the palm oil estate.

After about 20 -30 minutes hiking, you’ll come to plain grass land / lalang field and finds cooling and refreshing breeze blowing to you. Walk further up, you’ll come to the first lookout of the hill. Here, you’ll be able to see part of the village. The second and third lookout points are nearby and many photographers would get ready with their cameras to capture the sunrise. The space is bigger compare to the highest peak of the track.

After arriving at the first lookout point, trees are not many just field of “lalang” (a type of grass). Nothing much to block your view and you’ll be able to enjoy spectacular clear view of Broga. There is also amber space for you to rest and take photos. Some people also bring foods and drinks to enjoy at the peak.
