Healthy lifestyle is a must, and here I am going for a hike! Around 1.5 hours from Kuala Lumpur, Tanjung Tuan is a recreational park featuring a famous hiking place, Bukit Batu Putih. As someone who's not familiar with hiking, the trail is quite easy and not tiring much except for when we need to climb up some parts of boulders near the peak. Overall, for the view and the trail, I give a 5 star rating for the experience. Plus, it's free of charge, no need to pay any fee for going inside the forest. #GoHiking #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #bucketlistreboot

#portdicksonguide Visiting Tanjung Tuan (aka Cape Rachado) is a delightful, low-cost getaway—the entrance fee is just RM 1 per adult and free for kids  . Nestled in Malacca but accessed from Port Dickson, this forest reserve blends coastal beauty, historical charm, and nature trails packed into one gem. My visit began with a 20–30-minute hike up to Bukit Batu Putih, a popular outlook near the old Cape Rachado Lighthouse. The trail is moderately steep in parts but manageable with basic fitness, and well-paved—perfect for a short, invigorating morning climb  . At the summit, I was rewarded with sweeping views of the Malacca Strait, framed by shaded jungle and the iconic red-and-white beacon . The loop trail (around 1–3.5 miles depending on route) took me past colonial-era points of interest, like the Dutch Well, and dropped down to hidden beaches—my favorite was the secluded Pantai Keramat with its soft sand and clear water . Bird-spotting is a real treat here too—during spring, migratory raptors like honey buzzards soar overhead between 11 AM and 3 PM . I even felt part of a local tradition known as the “Raptor Watch” organized by the Malaysian Nature Society . Facilities are basic: toilets are available at the entrance, and wear sturdy shoes—some paths are rocky. Plan for 2–3 hours to complete the hike, enjoy the scenery, and perhaps linger by the beach . 🗺️ Getting there: Drive from Port Dickson (~15 min) and park just outside the entrance. Limited public transit exists, so self-drive is easiest . ⸻ Why it’s worth it • Super cheap: RM 1 to enter—no permit or booking needed. • Diverse landscapes: forest paths, colonial ruins, beaches, and lighthouse views all in one trek. • Wildlife & birds: an IBA (Important Bird Area) popular during raptor migration season. • Accessible escape: less than 2 hours from KL, making it ideal for a weekend refresh. ⸻ Final Verdict Tanjung Tuan is a brilliant, budget-friendly day trip that combines historic trails, coastal vistas, wildlife watching, and serene beaches—all for pocket change. It’s a hidden escape that reconnects you with nature, history, and wide-open skies, without stretching your wallet.

If you have time, you must go up to the top of the mountain and have a look at the sea.They say people who have been on the sea breeze together probably remember it longer. Always take all the road before you look forward to life If we do not set out, we will never meet. Only slowly will you find the world worthwhile. Please accept that the present self does not regret the past. Don't tangle now don't worry about the future. #hikingmalaysia #batuputih #tanjungtuan #nature #outdooradventures #sundayhikeday #seaview
