Jungle Trekking in Air Hitam Forest Reserve Near Puchong

I started jungle trekking in Air Hitam Forest Reserve in 19th Sept 2009. I found out this place from my kid's tutor, who is a jungle trekking lover.

The entrance is located at Jalan Wawasan 5/1, Taman Puchong Jaya. (Google Map location : 3 01 29.86'N, 101 37 46.78'E).

Everyday, we will gather at the entrance at 6.50am. Anyone who is interest in jungle trekking are welcome to join us.During weekend, there will be people enter the jungle from 6.50am till 9am.

There are a few routes in the jungle. The one that we usually took take about 60 min for a round trip.
