Dragonback Trek
Description
The Dragonback Trek has been my signature trek for the last 11 years offering a superb once in a lifetime view. This is a fully guided trekking trip with a cheerful host. Group size are kept very small and personal for comfort and safety from 2- 6 pax maximum. A short 30 minutes drive from Kuala Lumpur City Centre would bring you to a local Malaysian suburb. At the top of the ridge expect to get a panoramic view of pristine virgin jungle on one side, and KL city on the other. The whole trek will take around 2.5 – 3 hours (depending on fitness level) inclusive of rest stops and photo snapping sessions. We will pick you up bright and early in the morning from your Airbnb accommodation at 6.30am. Trips typically lasts from 6.30am to 11.30am local time. A fresh set of clothes (t-shirt, shorts and flip flops) would make the experience all the more comfortable as you would be super sweaty, yet satisfied after the trek.

Amazing trek in the jungle, found some beautiful insects along our trek, the guide was also friendly and knowledgeable, he told us various stories about the place and the history of Malaysia, he also took great pictures of us! The view from the wedge was also spectacular, you can see the whole city and on the other side the lake which is the water supply for KL.
This trail is really nice and only a 20-minute drive away from the centre of KL. From the moment I booked, communication with Ben has been impeccable. He is really knowledgeable about the region and a great trail partner to have! The view is simply amazing from up there and the local breakfast at the end was an unexpected special treat! I will go back for sure on my next business trip to KL!
Our family (with 8 and 10yo kids) had a wonderful time hiking Dragon Back with Ben! Ben was quick to pick up on our interests and abilities, adjusting and tailoring the experience for us. We had good conversations, and he shared insights into plants, animals, and Malaysian culture/society while hiking. He was friendly and patient with our kids when they stopped to examine “one more” crystal over and over again. The hike itself was beautiful— jungle forest, rocky quartz ridge and ledges, steep at times. As we hiked, we saw monkeys, saw a huge stick bug, and heard gibbons in the distance.
Great morning with Ben! Hike and timing were perfect. Quick snack on the way back topped off the excellent morning. Views were excellent. Time well spent. A KL top 10! Thanks Ben!!
We booked this trip last minute with Ben and we do not regret it. Ben was a great guide from start to end. He picked us up, took us to the hiking point, then to breakfast/brunch and dropped us off at the Batu Caves. He was well equipped and we felt safe in his hands. Thanks for a great hike/tour!
Great experience with my 10 year old son. The track was challenging enough such that it was rewarding but not arduous. Scenery was spectacular, jungle was phenomenal. Ben was an exceptional guide. Extremely knowledgeable about the environment we were in and offered some good insights about KL and Malaysia along the journey. Really well organised.
It was a great hike! Ben told us lots of interesting things about Malaysia and answered all of our questions! He is a very nice, open-minded and cool person! We'd love to come back anytime! Thank you Ben!
